Abstract Scope |
Electric vehicles (xEVs) have attracted a great deal of attention as a new mode of transportation because of their energy-efficient and environment-friendly features. These vehicles possess a number of electronic components or Li-ion batteries, which require special shielding materials to mechanically protect and thermally manage them.
This study proposes Al-Si-Mg based alloys with high thermal conductivities as well as excellent mechanical properties. First, the effect of major alloying elements on phase formation in high strength cast/wrought aluminum alloys was investigated by comparing microstructural analysis and prediction by thermodynamics-based software. The relation between main precipitates and second phases and thermal conductivity/deformation behavior of the aluminum alloys will be discussed. |
