Design of Mg Zn Si Ca casting magnesium alloy with high thermal conductivity

Magnesium alloys are commonly used to produce lightweight parts. While most magnesium alloys exhibit low thermal conductivities, high thermal conductivities are needed for electronic devices. In this study, we attempted to develop new magnesium casting alloys with high thermal conductivities. The MgZnSiCa alloy compositions were chosen using CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) calculations, and alloy samples were prepared. The fluidity and...
