Abstract
The temperature dependence of specific resistivity and thermal conductivity for some Sn-Zn alloys was measured to use their values in electrical and thermal calculations on the basis of Ohm’s and Fourier’s laws, in order to obtain the temperature-distribution in lead-free fuse elements of electric power line. The interaction between microstructures and their properties was also investigated in Sn-Zn alloys. Specific resistivity and thermal conductivity could be estimated as a function of temperature and alloy composition in the compositional ranges classified from the standpoint of continuity or non-continuity of constituent phases such as primary Zn, Sn-solid solution and eutectic in microstructures of Sn-1 to 100Zn alloys. In the proposed estimations, not only volume fraction of Zn and Sn-solid solution phases but morphologies of both phases were considered in Sn-Zn alloys. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.48.1105]
