The thermal conductance of pressed contacts which have been augmented with indium foil or Apiezon-N TM grease has been measured over the temperature range 1.6-6.0 K, with applied forces from 22 to 670 N. The sample pairs were fabricated from OFHC copper, 6061-T6 aluminium, free-machining brass and 3

The thermal conductance of one aluminum and one stainless steel pressed metal contacts has been measured near 77 K, with applied forces from 8.9 N to 267 N. Both 5052 or 5083 aluminum were used as the upper contact. The lower contact was 304L stainless steel. The thermal conductance is linear in tem

Measurements carried out on bulk samples of apiezon N grease in nylon tubes indicate that the grease behaves as a thermal insulator between 4.2 and 1.4 K, and therefore applications utilizing thick grease coatings to provide thermal contact should be avoided. In addition it was observed that the the
