In earlier experiments, the authors have studied pure elements with a fast pulse heating technique to obtain thermophysical properties of the liquid state. They report here results for thermophysical properties such as specific heat and dependences among enthalpy, electrical resistivity, and temperature, for four W-Re alloys (3.95, 21.03, 23.84, and 30.82 at % of Re) in a wide temperature range covering solid and liquid states. Thermal conductivity is calculated using the Wiedemann-Franz law for the liquid alloy, as well as data for thermal diffusivity for the beginning of the liquid phase. Additionally, data for the entire temperature range studied have been analyzed in comparison with those of the constituent elements, tungsten and rhenium, since both metals have been studied previously with the same experimental technique. Such information is of interest in the field of metallurgy since W-Re alloys of low Re content in the region of mutual component solubility in the solid state are widely used as thermocouple materials for the purposes of high-temperature thermometry.
