Thermal contact coefficient

Symbol BM
Unit N/(mm·s½·K)
Attribute-ID thermal contact coefficient
Numeric ID 3293
Value Type PMTechValue

The thermal contact coefficient BM is a measurement of the material's ability to conduct and store heat. This coefficient is needed to calculate the flash temperature according to Block.

The thermal contact coefficient for case-hardened wheels is used as the default value:

BM = 13.8 N/(mm∙s1/2∙K)
