The dependence of the microhardness (HV), ultimate tensile strength (?ut), ultimate compressive strength (?uc), and compressive yield strength (?cy) on the solidification rate was determined. The temperature dependency of the electrical resistivity (?) of the sample was investigated, and the temperature coefficient of the resistivity (?) was calculated from ?-? curve. The specific heat (CP) and the enthalpy (?H) were determined by DSC analysis. The thermal conductivity was calculated using the Wiedemann-Franz equation. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCompressive strengthDirectional solidificationMicrohardnessResistivityTensile strengthThermal conductivityArticle545485410.1016/j.physb.2018.06.0032-s2.0-85048595661Q2WOS:000449621100008Q3
