Abstract The 6xxx series Al-Mg-Si alloys have properties such as relatively high carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity, and higher mechanical pro-perties. It have broad development prospects and can be applied in electric equipment, heat sink, conductive materials, etc. In order to ensure the rapid and efficient operation of the equipment, improving the heat-conducting performance of the material is an urgent problem to be solved for industry. In this work, the 6201 aluminum alloy was investigated. The Al-B-C master alloy was added into the 6201 alloy to introduce Al3BC and AlB2 particles, and the combination of boron-treatment and secondary-phase strengthening promoted the simultaneous improvement of thermal conductivity and strength of the material. The microstructure, grain size and fracture morphology of the materials were characterized and analyzed. Through this method, the thermal conductivity of 6201 alloy was increased to 210.02 W/(m·K), which was by 22.5% higher than the pristine material. The yield strength and tensile strength were increased to 245 MPa and 250 MPa respectively at 200 ℃.
