Al/Gf composite foams with SiC-engineered interfaces for the next generation of active heat dissipation materials
2023, Composites Part A: Applied Science and ManufacturingCitation Excerpt :In [11], Al/graphite foams were inspired by oriented Al/graphite flake composites developed for use as passive heat sinks [12–17]. A few advantages of graphite flakes (Gf) as thermal inclusions are low density, high in-plane thermal conductivity (1000–2000 Wm−1K−1 in the basal plane and ≈38 Wm−1K−1 in the perpendicular plane [12,13,18]), low thermal expansion coefficient (−1 × 10−6 K−1 in-plane, 28 × 10−6 K−1 out-of-plane), good mechanical properties and ease of machining [12,15,17,19,20]. However, the low interfacial bonding between graphite and aluminium, mainly caused by the poor wettability of the Al/graphite system, prevents the excellent properties of graphite flakes from being transferred to final composites [21].
Thermal properties and thermal cycling stability of graphite/copper composite fabricated by microwave sintering
2022, Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyCitation Excerpt :It was revealed that an increase in the volume fraction of graphite provided a more pronounced anisotropy in the thermal conductivity of the composite. It is attributed to the fact that the thermal conductivity of graphite likewise has the same characteristics and is more prominent [36]. The CTE values of Gr/Cu composites with different graphite volume fractions at 200°C are shown in Fig. 8.
Tailoring the microstructure of an oriented graphite flake/Al composite produced by powder metallurgy for achieving high thermal conductivity
2021, Diamond and Related MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Thus, the material shows a high anisotropy in thermal expansion. It has recently been demonstrated that the architecture design by extending 1D to 2D arrangement can effectively tailoring CTE and maintaining the high TC [48]. The measured bending strength of the Al sample is 179 MPa at 5% strain as shown in Fig. 11, while the bending strength of the composite decreased to 74 MPa.
Interface formation and bonding control in high-volume-fraction (TiC+TiB<inf>2</inf>)/Al composites and their roles in enhancing properties
2021, Composites Part B: EngineeringCitation Excerpt :This is particularly important for the high-volume-fraction ceramic/metal composites since they contain more hetero-phase interfaces, whose thermo-mechanical properties and chemical integrity determine the functionality and reliability of the composites and their parts [4,5]. As well known, the high-volume-fraction ceramic/metal composites have higher strength and stiffness, and lower thermal expansion coefficient compared with the conventional metal matrix composites (ceramic content < 50 vol%) [6,7], which are considered as the promising structural and functional materials in a variety of industries [8–10]. Unfortunately, the high-volume-fraction ceramic/metal composites often exhibit significantly low plasticity [11].
