AEC-NASA Tech Briefs describe innovations resulting from the research and development program 
of the U.S. AEC or from AEC-NASA interagency efforts. They are issued to encourage commercial 
application. Tech Briefs are published by NASA and may be purchased, at 15 cents each, from

Recommended Values of the Thermophysical Properties of Eight Alloys, 
Their Major Constituents and Oxides 
Technical personnel who design, fabricate, and 
manufacture products, components, processes, and 
systems which involve extreme temperature environ-
ments such as cryogenic and high temperatures to and 
beyond the melting range require the knowledge of the 
thermophysical properties of the basic alloys, their 
constituents and oxides that would be utilized. A 
single reference work has been prepared that provides 
in tabular and graphical form the . recommended 
properties of specific heat, thermal conductivity, vis-
cosity, thermal emissivity, thermal diffusivity, density, 
and surface tension of aluminum, aluminum alloys, 
inconel, titanium, beryllium and stainless steel. 
The data are contained in the technical report: 
"Recommended Values of the Thermophysical Prop-
erties of Eight Alloys, Major Constituents and their 
Oxides," edited by Y.S. Touloukian, Thermophysical 
Properties Research Center, Purdue University, 
Lafayette, Indiana, February 1966. 
The table shown represents the materials studied 
and the properties for which data were available. It 
should be noted that serious gaps of information exist 
in the literature for several of the properties for most
of the materials studied. An effort was made to fill in 
these gaps wherever feasible through theoretical or 
semiempirical considerations. Some of the data were 
also extrapolated whenever it was believed justifiable 
within the limits of tolerances set for most engineering 
applications.
