Thermal conductivity variations versus temperature for pure Sn and Sn-1 wt% Mg, Sn-2 wt% Mg, and Sn-6 wt% Mg binary alloys were found to be 60.60 +/- 3.63, 61.99 +/- 3.71, 68.29 +/- 4.09, and 82.04 +/- 4.92 W/Km, respectively. The thermal conductivity ratios of liquid phase to solid phase for pure Sn and eutectic Sn-2 wt% Mg alloy at their melting temperature were found to be 1.11 and 1.08, respectively, with a Bridgman type directional solidification apparatus. Thus the thermal conductivities of liquid phases for pure Sn and eutectic Sn-2 wt% Mg binary alloy at their melting temperature were evaluated to be 67.26 +/- 4.03 and 73.75 +/- 4.42 W/Km, respectively, by using the values of solid phase thermal conductivities and the thermal conductivity ratios of the liquid phase to the solid phase.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessthermal conductivityphase transformationsolidificationcastingalloysArticle10.1007/s12540-012-0010-52-s2.0-84858129706851Q17718WOS:000301482300010Q1
