Europaeische Konzertierte Aktion zur Messung und Ermittlung thermochemikalischer und thermophysikalischer Eigenschaften zur Aufstellung einer Datensammlung fuer die Entwicklung neuer leichter Werkstoffe. Gruppe D Messung thermophysikalischer Eigenschaften neuer Leichtmetall-Legierungen im Temperaturbereich zwischen -180 und 400/500 C. Abschlussbericht

The present report describes measurement methods and measuring equipment for determining density, thermal expansion, elastic properties (modulus of elasticity, modulus of transverse elasticity, modulus of cubic elasticity, transversal contraction number) specific heat capacity, electric resistance, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of metal materials. Investigations were made into superplastic Al alloys; fiber-reinforced Al composites; advanced Al alloys with regard to casting methods, deformation, production (powder metallurgy); Mg alloys with improved mechanical properties; materials on the basis Al-Li; advanced titanium alloys; and high-tensile Al alloys. The following properties of these materials were determined, presented in tables and figures and discussed: density at 20 C, thermal expansion between -180 and 400 or 500 C, elastic properties between -180 and 400 or 600 C, specific heat between -100 and 400 C and thermal conductivity between -180 and 400 or 600 C.
