Electrical Conductivity Related to Chemical Composition for Al-Si Casting Alloy
Influence of some alloying elements on the electrical conductivity of Al Si alloys was investigated. Silicon phase reduce the effective area of electrical conduction of aluminum matrix. Ti refines the grain and raise the boundary area of the grain so as to raise the electron wave dispersion. Mg
Cu
Mn etc. elements dissolved in aluminum matrix
making the crystal lattice distortion and leading to the increase of the probability of electron dispersion. All these elements reduce the electrical conductivity while Mg
Cu
Mn
Fe
Ti etc. elements to be formed in individual second phase have relatively slight effect on the electric conductivity of Al alloy. The electrical conductivity can increase by 5%~8% through proper composition adjustment of Al Si alloys.
