Equations have been derived to calculate values of the thermophysical properties of all stainless steels for temperatures between 300 and 1 800 K (austenitic 3 series, ferritic-4 series and precipitation-hardened 6-series alloys). Values of the following properties are given in both figures and tables: density (r), thermal expansion coefficient (a), heat capacity (C p ), enthalpy (H T ϪH 298 ), thermal conductivity (l) and thermal diffusivity (a), electrical resistivity (R), viscosity (h) and surface tension (g).KEY WORDS: stainless steels; thermo-physical properties; density; surface tension; viscosity; heat capacity; enthalpy; thermal and electrical conductivity.
