The high temperature fire resistance of vanadium is not well documented, so its properties are usually approximated to the same as conventional structural steels. The goal of this study is to determine the properties that influence the fire resistance of structural steel, thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal elongation. Thermal conductivity and specific heat were both determined through a transient plane source (TPS) method. Vanadium and A36 steel were both ...
Traditional alloys are composed of approximately one to two major metal elements, such as aluminum, and titanium, etc. For the purpose of casting molds, new research has led to the creation of high-entropy (HE) alloys, that encompass five or more major metal elements. This research led to the discovery of lower thermal properties in HE alloys, portraying them as potential coatings in the management of casting molds. Low thermally conductive ...
