Abstract: Thermoelectricity is referred to conversion waste heat into electricity or electricity into heat at temperature gradients. The efficiency of a thermoelectric generator is controlled via both the thermoelectric properties and the temperature decrease. Al 7xxx used in the aircraft, automoble industry have electrical and thermal conductivity, high strength, hardenable properties, and the Al 7xxx materials selected in this study have been produced by P/M method; the thermoelectric properties of materials were measured. Max. Electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity were obtained 0.161Ωm and 24.96W/Km respectively at 285-295K temperature ranges. Seebeck coefficient is varied from negative sign to positive sign due to the carriers. Also max. figure of merit is determined 31.182×10-9 at 93.610 K temperature.
