Resumo
Metals and alloys are key functional materials since ancient civilizations. We even coined one of our prehistoric periods as the age of metals (cooper, bronze, and iron) between circa 3300 to 1000 BC, when man developed casting techniques and started metallurgy. But even if we are aware of the importance of metals and alloys in our daily lives, sometimes we forgotten that for the processing of these materials we need to have them in the liquid state. In fact, these liquids are very important in many industrial processes, such as steelmaking, nonferrous metallurgy, aluminium smelting, foundries, glass manufacturing, and others, including cooling and refrigeration at high temperatures. To model and optimize these processes the thermal and transport properties are decisive. Despite this fact, industry still needs new data for several pure metals and alloys, as the available data frequently show large discrepancies, and the effect of “impurities” is difficult to model. \nIn this presentation we will perform an overview of the relevant properties of molten metals and alloys, exemplifying with several examples, including the utilization of liquid metals and alloys in refrigeration at high temperatures, electronic cooling or casting of metal alloys for engine blocks.\n
