Thermal conductivity data for molten metals, published since the revie
w of Touloukian at al. in 1970, are collated and evaluated. Where poss
ible recommended values are given. Where availability of data permits,
the Wiedemann-franz-lorenz equation relating electrical and thermal c
onductivities has been assessed. It has been found to be valid for mos
t pure metals at their melting point. (C) 1996 Crown copyright.
