Thermal Conductivity of Zirconium and Zirconium-Tin Alloys,

Abstract

The thermal conductivities of zirconium-tin alloys and a zirconium- uranium-tin-iron-chromium-nickel alloy were measured over the temperature range 50 to 400 deg C. Thermal conductivity values at 300 deg C ranged from 0.19 watts/(cm)(C) for unalloyed zirconium to 0.11 watts/(cm)(C) with 7 wt % tin. At lower temperatures the spread is greater.
