Abstract
The Forbes bar method has been modified and adapted to the problem of measuring the thermal conductivity of metals and alloys in the temperature range from 25°C to 1000°C. A mathematical analysis is presented which indicates the error involved by assuming plane isothermals in the sample. The electrical and thermal conductivities of commercial ``A'' nickel, inconel, several stainless steel alloys, and 1010 steel are reported, and the results are compared, qualitatively at least, with the theory presented by Wilson1 and Makinson.2This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
