Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels sowie anhand von zwei Vergleichsbeispielen.Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment and based on two comparative examples.
Die erfindungsgemässe Legierung A und zwei Vergleichslegierungen B und C mit den in Tabelle 1 angegebenen Zusammensetzungen wurden ausgehend von einer Schmelzetemperatur von 6600C im Druckgiessverfahren bei einer Formtemperatur von 15O0C zu Kühlkörpern für elektronische Bauteile mit einem Gewicht von 2,2 kg vergossen. Nach der Entnahme aus der Druckgiessform wurden die Proben in ruhiger Luft abgekühlt.The novel alloy A and two comparative alloys B and C with the compositions shown in Table 1 were cast starting from a melt temperature of 660 0 C in die casting at a mold temperature of 15O 0 C to heat sinks for electronic components with a weight of 2.2 kg. After removal from the die, the samples were cooled in still air.
An den Druckgussbauteilen wurde an zwei verschiedenen Messstellen M1 und M2 die elektrische Leitfähigkeit gemessen. Die in Tabelle 2 zusammengestell- ten Ergebnisse zeigen die Überlegenheit der erfindungsgemässen Legierung A gegenüber den Vergleichslegierungen B und der registrierten Standardlegierung C (LM6 nach BS 1490, AC 47000, AISiI 2(Cu)).
