you would be well advised to start believing in the body of knowledge called 'material science'

when your test results are in conflict with known material characteristics, your results are "wrong"
- due to test design, equipment, and/or procedures

as part of a test series (still unfinished) I have looked at aluminum and copper bps of different thicknesses mounted on 'The King of Testing Waterblocks', an old style MCW462

out of curiosity, where are you getting slugs of pure aluminum ?
- all alloys have much lower thermal conductivity
