Aluminum have better thermal conductivity than iron
Aluminum: 205W/(m K)
Iron: 80 W/(m K)

∙ 13y agoAluminium is way better than iron!
Aluminium is a brilliant conductor of heat. It is almost as good as Copper, and thus has replaced the more expencive Copper cooling elements in most computers these days.
Iron is a good conductor of heat, but not by far as good as Aluminium, Copper and Silver.

∙ 10y agoNo, based on thermal conductivity, k (W/m.K) aluminum has higher conductivity than iron (205 > 79.5) link :

Why is copper used as a conductor in transmission lines?
They are the most cost effective while maintaining good conductivity for electricity. Gold is the best conductor, but is too costly to make into wires.
Witch metal conducts heat best?
Silver is the best metallic conductor of heat but when it comes to elements, diamond (carbon) is the best heat conductor.
Properties of silver?
It is very ductile and malleable. It is also the best metal conductor of heat and electricity.
Is sodium the best conductor of electricity?
yes, sodium is the best conductor of electricity
What substances would be good electrical conductor?
Examples: silver, gold, copper, aluminium.
Which metal is the best conductor of electricity and why?
The most common one that is very effective is METAL. Well, metal is not an element Of elements, silver is the best conductor of heat followed by copper. The best conductor of heat overall at room temperature is diamond, not an element of course.
What type of metal is a great conductor of electricity?
Silver is the best conductor of electricity, with copper a close second. Gold is third on the list followed by aluminium. Power distribution systems commonly use copper for underground power lines and aluminium for overhead lines.
What is the best conductor brass or steel?
Brasss
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
What type of metal is best conductor?
Silver is the best conductor
Why is metal use for electricity?
Metal is used because metals conduct electric current. The best conductor among the metals is silver, followed by copper, then aluminium. Copper is used for electrical wiring in the house and for underground supplies, while the lightness of aluminium makes it the metal of choice for overhead power lines.
Is aluminum a best conductor of heat?
With a thermal conductivity of 237 W/m.K aluminium is a good conductor of heat.
What is very good conductor of heat?
The element carbon is a nonmetal, and in its allotropic form of diamond, it's the best natural conductor of heat we know of. It's far and away better than any metal as well.
What metal is the best conductor of heat energy?
Metal
What is a better conductor brass or copper?
Yes. On a scale of 0 to 100, where annealed copper is 100, aluminum rates a 59, and brass averages 28. I say averages because there are actually quite a few different alloys of brass, but all of them are poorer conductors than aluminum.
Which would be the best insulator carbon or silicon or aluminum or oxygen?
Oxygen. Carbon as diamond is a good electrical insulator, (graphite is an electrical conductor), silicon is a semiconductor so has limited electrical conductivity and aluminium is a metal and a good electrical conductor.
Which metal is the best conductor of electricity silver or iron?
Silver is the best conductor out of the two.
