The thermal conductivities of Al–x wt% Cu (x = 1, 3, 5, 15 and 30) and Al–y wt% Si (y = 2, 12.5 and 20) alloys were determined.
The reported thermal conductivities of Al–Cu–Mg–Si system were critically reviewed.
The CALPHAD approach was applied for the modeling of thermal conductivity.
The applicability of CALPHAD technique in the modeling of thermal conductivity was discussed.
