Steady state thermal distortion
Distortion due to temperature gradient T is always proportional to T For a constant heat source, with power H, the thermal gradient is
proportional to HT
So the distortion will be proportional to
This provides a figure of merit to compare sensitivity to steady state heat loading

Lines of constant thermal stability are shown Performance improves toward upper left corner SiC has the largest thermal stability due to high conductivity,
even though large CTE Zerodur and ULE have very high thermal stability due to their
extremely low CTE, even though poor conductor Titanium and CRES are very poor for thermal stability
Better stability

Transient heating Transient heat flux is when the temperature distribution changes with
time Thermal diffusivity (D) is the ratio of thermal conductivity to heat
capacity Larger thermal diffusivity means quicker response to temperature changes. The thermal time constant governs the rate at which the transient response decays exponentially (1-e-t/) After a given time from a transient heat impulse, the temperature gradient will be proportional to 1/D. Again, the thermal distortion is proportional to T, so the transient distortion will be proportional to
This provides a merit function for transient thermal stability

Thermal time constant: For BK7 glass: = 1.1 W/(m K) = 0.011 J/s /(cm K) = 2.5 g/cm3 cp = 0.86 J/(g- K) For 1 cm thick BK7, heated from one side:
or ~ 3 min
Scaling this: 25 mm glass takes 20 min
This is the time that it takes for the heat to travel through the glass. It does not include the coupling to the outside.
