In this work, better mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the high-pressure die-cast AlMg6Si2MnZr alloy were reported by replacing the conventional H13 steel shot sleeve with a new ceramic type shot sleeve (named LX shot sleeve). The work mainly concentrated on the effect of microstructure on the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of two die-cast samples of AlMg6Si2MnZr alloy by different shot sleeves. The results showed that the LX shot sleeve produced smaller and fewer externally solidified crystals of alpha-Al (ESCs-alpha) as it dissipated heat more slowly than the H13 shot sleeve. Meanwhile, ESCs-alpha in the die-cast sample by the LX shot sleeve had lower dendritic branching extent. Due to the decrease in ESCs-alpha, the eutectic content and the number of the porosities, particularly shrinkage porosities, of the die-cast sample by the LX shot sleeve decreased. The mechanical properties of the die-cast sample by the LX shot sleeve were increased greatly, particularly the elongation, which was increased from 6.64% to 9.06% due to the decrease in the shrinkage porosities. The thermal conductivity of the die-cast sample by the LX shot sleeve was also increased from 112.2 W m(-1) K-1 to 120.6 W m(-1) K-1. In the die-cast sample by the LX shot sleeve, the decrease in the Mg solute concentration in alpha-Al solidified in the cavity (alpha) was the main factor to distinctly increase the electrical thermal conductivity while the reduction of the eutectic phase resulted in a slight decrease in the phonon thermal conductivity.
