Abstract:
The thermal conductivity of ATDM process’ materials was investigated by steady-state-flat method. The results show that thermal conductivity increased with the increase of temperature or the added amount of Al or the added amount of CaF2. There is an important effect of melt of Al on the thermal conductivity of raw materials. The thermal conductivity of reduction slag decreased with the proceeding reduction reaction and it will be decreased further when CaF2 was added. It indicated a good linear relation between thermal conductivity and temperature.
