Temperature dependence analysis of thermal conductivity was carried out for series of aluminum alloys with 1% Fe (mass%) and different content of silicon starting from 0% to 6% (mass%). It is shown that the best alloy for heat exchange applications is alloy with 4% of silicon (mass%). Temperature dependence of thermal conductivity shows the strong decreasing character for silicon-alloyed samples in comparison to pure aluminum.
