Thermal conductivity and interfacial conductance of AlN particle reinforced metal matrix composites

Andreas Mortensen, Christian Monachon, Ludger Weber, Masahiro Kida

Aluminum nitride (AlN) particle reinforced metal-matrix-composites produced by pressure infiltration are characterized in terms of their thermal conductivity. The composites are designed to cover a wide range of phase contrast between the dispersed particl ...

High-temperature wettability of aluminum nitride during liquid metal infiltration

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani, Masahiro Kida

The high-temperature wettability of AlN particle preforms with pure molten Cu, Al and Ph is quantified by means of drainage curves measured during pressure infiltration. By integrating the drainage curves obtained in this study, the work of immersion for e ...

Measuring and tailoring capillary forces during liquid metal infiltration

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani, Masahiro Kida

A new technique is proposed for the direct measurement of capillary forces in systems of relevance to the infiltration processing of metal matrix composites. Capable of handling melt temperatures up to 1500 K and infiltration pressures up to 20 MPa, the te ...
