(57) A magnesium (Mg) alloy having lightweight and excellent thermal conductivity, and
a heat sink including the magnesium (Mg) alloy are provided. The magnesium (Mg) alloy
may include one or more alloy additive elements selected from the group consisting
of silicon (Si), calcium (Ca), tin (Sn), yttrium (Y), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper
(Cu), cerium (Ce), cesium (Cs), antimony (Sb), cobalt (Co), thorium (Th), and silver
(Ag). Some of the alloy additive elements may be dissolved in the magnesium alloy
to form a solid solution. The alloy additive elements that form the solid solution
at room temperature may account for 2 wt% or less, based on the total weight (100
wt%) of the magnesium alloy, and the alloy additive elements that do not form the
solid solution may be in crystalline phases.
