Results of laboratory determinations of thermal conductivities in the temperature range −150 to 540 deg C are presented for 12 iron-nickel alloys. Six samples are of low nickel content, in the range from 1 to 9 per cent, and six others have nickel contents in the range from 35 to 80 per cent. A sample of AISI 1015 steel is included for comparative purposes. The determinations were made on bar specimens about 2.54 cm in diameter and 37 cm long, by an absolute steady-state method with heat flowing longitudinally in the bar. Computation of results from observed data was effected by means of a digital computer.

The self-diffusion of nickel and the diffusion of Ni63 into iron, cobalt, and two iron–nickel alloys was studied using the technique of decrease in surface activity, The nickel self-diffusion results are compared to previously reported values. Nickel is found to diffuse more slowly than iron in the iron-rich portion of the iron–nickel system. The rate of nickel diffusion increases with increasing nickel content. A comparison is made between the present results for diffusion of Ni63 into iron, cobalt, and nickel with reported values for diffusion of Co60 and Fe59 in the same metals. In each solvent, the magnitudes of the activation energies, Q, are such that QNi > QCo > QFe.

The effects of fly ash, sodium carbonate content, foaming temperature and foaming time on foam glass aperture sizes and their distribution were analyzed by the orthogonal experimental design. Results from the steady-state method showed a normal distribution of the number of apertures with change in average aperture, which ranges from 0.1 to 2.0 mm for more than 93% of apertures. For a given porosity, the thermal conductivity decreases with the increase of the aperture size. The apertures in the sample have obvious effects in blocking the heat flow transmission: heat flow is quickly diverted to both sides when encountered with the aperture. When the thickness of the sample is constant, the thermal resistance of the foam glass sample increases with increasing porosity, leading to better thermal insulation. Furthermore, our results suggest that the more evenly distributed and orderly arranged the apertures are in the foam glass material, the larger the thermal resistance of the material and hence, the better the thermal insulation.
