Apparent thermal conductivity independent of mold temperature and thermal conductivity as a function of mold temperature were determined from experimental data obtained by immersing a cylindrical ceramic mold into molten metal at constant temperature. The apparent thermal conductivity increased with amount of stucco and with the decrease in porosity. The apparent thermal conductivity increased in the order of fused silica particles, zircon sand, chamotte particles and fused alumina particles used as stucco. The apparent thermal conductivity obtained by immersing the sample into cast iron was a little larger than that obtained by immersing into aluminum. The thermal conductivity decreased with temperature when using zircon sand, chamotte particles and fused alumina particles as stucco. When using fused silica particles, the thermal conductivity did not change with temperature very much. With this method the apparent thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity as a function of temperature could be measured more rapidly than the pouring method, because the size of the sample was smaller and the temperature was measured only at the mold center and the metal-mold interface.
