i am not sure what you mean by the statementhlock said:the Cu will shed it faster.

But does it?DaveC426913 said:I assume he means the Cu radiates/conducts it into the environment faster than the Al will.
Heat conductivity is the process by which heat energy is transferred from one material to another. This transfer occurs through the movement of atoms and molecules within the material, known as thermal conduction.
The heat conductivity of a material is influenced by several factors, including its composition, structure, and temperature. Materials with a higher density and tighter molecular structure tend to have higher heat conductivity, while materials with a lower density and looser molecular structure have lower heat conductivity. Additionally, higher temperatures typically result in increased heat conductivity.
Aluminum and copper are both good conductors of heat, but copper has a higher heat conductivity than aluminum. This is due to the difference in their atomic structures. Copper has a more compact and organized atomic structure, allowing for more efficient heat transfer compared to aluminum.
Yes, the heat conductivity of a material can be altered by changing its physical properties. For example, adding impurities or alloying elements to a material can affect its heat conductivity. Additionally, changes in temperature or pressure can also impact the heat conductivity of a material.
Heat conductivity is typically measured in units of watts per meter kelvin (W/mK) or BTUs per hour per square foot per degree Fahrenheit (BTU/hr·ft²·°F). This measurement is obtained through experiments such as the hot plate method or the guarded hot plate method, which involve measuring the rate of heat transfer through a material at a given temperature difference.
