Knowledge of the thermal conductivity, lambda, of Al/Cu/sub 2/O consolidated thermites is required in order to model the reaction and, in turn, understand and predict thermite burn rates, ignition temperatures, and sensitivities. Two methods, laser-flash and comparative, were evaluated. The comparative method was found to be the method of choice. Results of the lambda measurements are reported as functions of temperature, part density, and aluminum particle shape.
