Recommended values of thermophysical properties for selected commercial alloy
edited by Kenneth C. Mills
This newly published report, edited by Kenneth C Mills, contains important data derived from work carried out as part of the National Physical Laboratory's MTS Programme on Processability. The purpose of the programme is to provide engineers with the best possible data to aid mathematical modelling of processes such as casting and refining.
This book reflects the increasing importance of mathematical modelling 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 in the standard literature on commercial alloys so this report fulfils a real need for all those involved in modelling processes with commercially available aluminium, cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium, nickel, titanium and zinc alloys by providing valuable data relating to – fraction solid, melting range, heat capacity, enthalpy, thermal difusivity and conductivity, emissivity density, viscosity, and surface tension.
The book also provides a model for assessing the properties of alloys not covered individually in the work by reference to their chemical composition. Recommended values of thermophysical properties for selected commercial alloys is an important new data source for all metal refiners, metallurgists, material scientists and engineers needing to understand the thermophysical properties of alloys for casting, primary or secondary refining.
