A356 Casting Conductivity
A356 Casting Conductivity
(OP)
I am trying to find a source for the %ICAS value for the conductivity of A356 Cast Al. I am doing an on-wing inspection to check if an overheat condition changed the temper of a casting. It is A356-T6, but I can't find this value in any of the traditional documents. I can find hardness from the heat treat specs but not the conductivity.
I am sure I am overlooking it. Can someone point me in the right direction or provide a value?

RE: A356 Casting Conductivity
I can only find information on wrought alloys, not cast. Try the primer discoloration assessment or find an unaffected A356-part and see if the IACS values differ.
