Conductances vary with temperature according to simple power law. Report presents data on thermal conductances of pure aluminum and stainless-steel 304 contact pairs. Data cover contacts with surface finishes of 0.1- to 1.6-micrometer root-mean-square roughness at temperatures from 1.6 to 6.0 K, under applied contact forces up to 670 N. Such data needed for optimal design of bolted joints in cryogenic instruments, particularly infrared instruments and focal-plane sensors.
