Thermal Conductivity of Ternary and Multi-Component Aluminum Alloys up to and above the Melting Temperature

摘要

The determination of thermophysical properties in a broader temperature range is an essential prerequisite for proper process optimization by numerical modeling techniques, which are now commonly used in the industry. Here, results of a measurement campaign on various ternary Al-SiMg and multi-component AlSiCu+ alloys using a new electric resistivity measurement unit are presented. The evaluated temperature dependent data are discussed regarding alloying element and equipment related influences.
