摘要

Disclosed is an aluminum-magnesium-silicon composite material that contains an alloy comprising Al, Mg, and Si and can be used favorably as a material for a thermoelectric conversion module, and that has excellent thermoelectric conversion properties. The aluminum-magnesium-silicon composite material contains an alloy comprising Al, Mg and Si, and has an electrical conductivity (Ã) of 1000-3000 S/cm at 300 K. This aluminum-magnesium-silicon composite material is favorable in the production of a thermoelectric exchange element as a result of having excellent thermoelectric conversion properties.
