The thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and Seebeck coefficient of high purity iron, two iron-chromium alloys, one iron-nickel alloy, and one iron-chromium-nickel alloy were measured over the temperature range from 90 K to 400 K. Smoothed values for the thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity were used to calculate the electronic thermal conductivity, the lattice conductivity, and the Lorenz function by means of a binary alloy separation technique. The lattice conductivity and Lorenz function exhibited little change due to the addition of chromium; however, the addition of small amounts of nickel resulted in significant property changes. The lattice conductivity at high temperatures was calculated from theory and compared to experimental results. Good agreement between theory and experimental data was obtained.
