THERMAL PROPERTIES OF REFRACTORY ALLOYS

Abstract : The thermal properties of fifteen selected refractory materials, boron carbide, zirconium nitride, spinel, beryllium oxide, six columbium alloys, three tantalum alloys, and two molybdenum alloys were determined. The thermal conductivity, specific heat, and linear thermal expansion were measured from room temperature to the melting point, or 5000 F, whichever was lower. (Author)
