Effect of inhomogeneous composition on the thermal conductivity of an Al alloy during the precipitation-hardening process
Precipitation hardening of Al alloys is an essential aging process for industrial applications demanding lightweight and high-mechanical strength materials. However, this process drastically reduces the thermal conductivity of the Al alloy owing to the formation of intermetallic precipitates. Becaus...
