The Mg⁻Si alloys have low CTEs (coefficients of thermal expansion) and other merits, which contribute to their application potential in the electronic industry. However, the details of their thermal properties are still unclarified, and need more research. In this study, the thermal conductivities (TC) of Mg⁻xSi (x = 1 wt.%, 1.38 wt.%, 2 wt.%, 3 wt.%, and 4 wt.%) binary alloys and Mg⁻4Si⁻yCa (y = 0.2 wt.%, 0.4 wt.%, 0.6 wt.%, 0.8 wt.%, and 1.0 wt.%) alloys over the temperature range of 25⁻300 °C were systematically studied. The results show that the TC of Mg⁻xSi binary alloys decreases with the increase of Si content, while it increases slightly near the eutectic composition. The addition of a Ca element to Mg⁻4Si alloys has an obvious modification effect on the Mg2Si phase. When the Ca content increases constantly, the TC of the alloys decreases at first; then, there is a significant increase at the content of 0.8 wt.% Ca, and after that, it continues to decline. The mechanism is mainly related to the precipitation of the CaMgSi phase at 0.8 wt.% Ca content. |
