The variations of electrical conductivity (?) of solid phases with temperature for the studied alloys were determined from the Wiedemann-Franz and Smith-Palmer equations by using the measured values of K from the plots of K. The thermal temperature coefficient (? TTC ) and the electrical temperature coefficient (? ETC ) were obtained. Dependency of the ? TTC and ? ETC on the composition of Zn in the Al-Zn alloys was also investigated. According to the present experimental results, K of Al–Zn alloys linearly decrease with increasing temperatures up to the melting temperature for each composition and exponentially decrease with the increasing Zn content. On the other hand, the ? of Al based Al-Zn alloys exponentially decrease with increasing temperature and Zn content. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAl-Zn Alloyselectrical conductivitytemperature coefficientsThermal conductivityArticle3229510510.1080/13640461.2018.15491902-s2.0-85057586485Q2WOS:000459911300005Q3
