The paper reports an assessment of the repeatability of a method for the measurement of the thermal conductivity of high temperature melts. The main goal is to demonstrate that a novel approach to the transient hot-wire technique can yield highly accurate results that are consistent with previous, independent measurements. The paper summarizes the modified transient hot-wire method, presents improvements in the finite-element analysis of its operation, and briefly discusses deviations from available analytical equations. The transient hot-wire instrument and experimental configuration are also described. Results from measurements on molten metals, in particular, tin and indium, in the temperature range from their melting points up to 750 K are presented. A comparison with previously measured values is given, and the accuracy and repeatability of the method are discussed.
