[Phys-L] Blue color heated steel

[<rcarabaj@gmail.com>]

Hello

 

I would greatly appreciate a bibliographic indication on the subject of
heating steel. I have not been able to find a clear explanation of the
reason for the blue color, that steel presents when heated to about 600
Kelvin. That is, to substantiate the deviations of the blackbody heating
spectrum.

 

Thanks very much for your attention.
