Recommended Values of Thermophysical Properties for Selected Commercial Alloys

The work contained in this report was carried out as part of the National Physical Laboratory's MTS Programme on Processability, the purpose of which was to provide engineers with the best possible data on commercially available alloys to help with the mathematical modelling of processes such as casting and refining. Mathematical modelling has become an increasingly useful tool in improving process control and efficiency and product quality. Models have been developed to the stage where one of the prime requirements is for accurate and reliable data for the thermophysical properties involved in the heating and fluid flow processes. There is very little available data on thermophysical properties in the standard literature on commercial alloys so this report fulfills a real need for all those involved in modelling processes with these alloys.
