Temperature of spark

[Engprofile]

Hi,

I am looking for a reference/information of temperatures of various types of metal on metal sparks.

I need to know roughly what the temperature of a spark is which is generated during contact of diffent metals.

If anyone can help with this that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Try searching on 'metals combustion temperature' or 'ignition of metal powder', or 'thermochemistry of … '

If you're not in air at 1 atmosphere, my guess is that flame temperatures also depend on the pressure, concentration and type of oxidizer.

The color of the spark is a direct measure of its temperature. Look-up color temperature and black body radiation.
