Influence of Silicon on Thermal Conductivity at Room Temperature of Al–Si–Fe Alloys
The analysis of densities and thermal conductivities has been performed for cast experimentally made aluminum alloys containing different content of silicon starting from 0% to 12% (mass%). All alloys have been additionally supplemented by iron up to 1% mass for better casting properties. Results have shown a strong tendency of decrease in the thermal conductivity with increasing silicon content. The same character is found for densities behavior.
