Thermal Conductivity of the Elements

This is the abridged version of a comprehensive volume on the thermal conductivity of the elements. It contains recommended reference values resulting from critical evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of all the available data. It also gives estimated values for those elements for which no thermal conductivity data are available. Thus, the work provides recommended or estimated thermal conductivity values for all the elements over the full temperature ranges where experimental data are available or reliable extrapolations or estimations can be made. The results on each element are presented in both graphical and tabular forms. Summary graphs arranged by group in the periodic table are also given.

Electrical resistivity of ten selected binary alloy systems

This work compiles, reviews, and discusses the available data and information on the electrical resistivity of ten selected binary alloy systems and presents the recommended values resulting from critical evaluation, correlation, analysis, and synthesis of the available data and information. The ten binary alloy systems selected are the systems of aluminum–copper, aluminum–magnesium, copper–gold, copper–nickel, copper–palladium, copper–zinc, gold–palladium, gold–silver, iron–nickel, and silver–palladium. The recommended values for each of the ten binary alloy systems except three (aluminum–copper, aluminum–magnesium, and copper–zinc) are given for 27 compositions: 0 (pure element), 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10(5)95, 97, 99, 99.5, and 100% (pure element). For aluminum–copper, aluminum–magnesium, and copper–zinc alloy systems, the recommended values are given for 26, 12, and 11 compositions, respectively. For most of the alloy systems the recommended values cover the temperature range from 1 K to the solidus temperatur...

Thermophysical properties of stainless steels

Abstract Experimental data available for the thermophysical properties of stainless steels have been searched, compiled, critically evaluated, analyzed, and correlated. Particular attention was given to material characteristics such as alloy composition, microstructure, and conditioning treatments. Thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity at low temperatures, and in some cases above room temperature, are comparatively more sensitive to these material differences. Properties for which data evaluation has been done include thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal linear expansion, thermal diffiisivity, thermoradiative properties, electrical resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility, and, in a few cases, thermoelectric power, viscosity, and optical constants. Generally, sufficient data are available for the generation of evaluated data (recommended values) for elevated temperatures, and in many cases for low temperatures also. Stainless steels covered include the more common austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and precipitation-hardened types. In all, more than 40 stainless steels are included in this effort.

Thermoelectric power of selected metals and binary alloy systems

Abstract The available experimental data and information on the thermoelectric power of the following ten binary alloy systems: aluminum-copper, aluminum-magnesium, copper-gold, copper-nickel, copper-palladium, copper-zinc, gold-palladium, gold- silver, iron-nickel, and silver-palladium, and of the following eleven metals: aluminum, copper, gold, iron, lead, magnesium, nickel, palladium, platinum, silver, and zinc have been compiled, critically evaluated, analyzed, correlated, and synthesized to generate reliable reference data (recommended values). The recommended values for each of most of the alloy systems are generated for 27 compositions: 0 (pure element), 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10(5)95, 97, 99, 99.5, and 100% (pure element) covering the temperature range from near the absolute zero to above 1000 K for most of the alloy compositions.

Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity of Selected Carbon Steels, Chromium Steels, Nickel Steels, and Stainless Steels

The available data and information on the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity of selected carbon steels, chromium steels, nickel steels, and stainless steels have been searched, compiled, and evaluated. Through the analysis and synthesis of the fragmentary data and information, preliminary recommended values have been generated over the temperature range from room temperature to about 1150 K, which are presented in this paper in graphical form. Estimated values have been synthesized for those steels and temperature ranges for which no data are available.

LATTICE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND LORENZ FUNCTION OF COPPER-NICKEL AND SILVER-PALLADIUM ALLOY SYSTEMS

Following a brief discussion of the separation of the electronic and lattice components of thermal conductivity at low temperatures, a method for calculating the lattice thermal conductivity of binary alloys at temperatures above that corresponding to the lattice thermal conductivity maximum is described. The method is based on the Klemens-Callaway theory. Curves of the lattice thermal conductivity of copper-nickel and silver-palladium alloy systems are presented which cover the full range of alloy composition and temperature. Curves of the electronic and total Lorenz functions of these alloy systems are also presented which likewise cover the full range of alloy composition and temperature. The electronic Lorenz function is derived from the electronic thermal conductivity and the electrical resistivity, whereas the total Lorenz function is derived from the total thermal conductivity and the electrical resistivity.
