Electrical and thermal conductivity of A319 and A356 aluminum alloys
A rotational contactless inductive measurement technique has been used to measure the electrical resistivity of A319 and A356 aluminum alloys at both solid and liquid states. The method is based on the phenomena that when a conducting material rotates in a magnetic field, circulating eddy currents are induced and generate an opposing torque, which is proportional to the electrical conductivity of the material. The technique was checked and calibrated with pure aluminum where considerable electrical resistivity data exist in the literature. Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenz law was used to estimate the thermal conductivity of A319 and A356 aluminum alloys in liquid state.
