Thermal Conductivity of Ferrous Alloys and Steels

The TCS Steel and Fe-alloys Database (TCFE) has thermophysical properties included. Below are examples about applications to thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity thermophysical property data is included starting with version 12 (TCFE12).

With the thermal conductivity described for most binary and several ternary systems, predictions can be made for multicomponent alloys with different microstructures.

 Thermal conductivity of Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steel alloys
