Fe- or Mn-powders were mixed with the diamonds and the mixtures were heat treated under different gas atmospheres like hydrogen or argon gas and at varying temperatures in order to roughen the surface of the diamond particles. Subsequently the reaction lay ...
Aluminum matrix composites reinforced with mixtures of diamond and SiC particles of equal size were produced by gas pressure assisted liquid metal infiltration. Replacing SiC gradually by diamond particles results in a steady increase of thermal conductivi ...
A heat sink that is particularly suitable for semiconductor components is made from a diamond-containing composite material. In addition to a diamond fraction amounting to 40-90% by volume, the composite material also contains 7 to 59% by volume copper or ...
Thermal management materials frequently have multi-phase composite character with complex architecture of the constituents. As a result, design rules are needed which can be used in selection of the phases and optimizing their volume fractions. The study s ...
An overview is presented of current research at EPFL on structural metallic materials produced by infiltration processing. The paper comprises a brief introduction to the infiltration process, then presents results on particle reinforced metals and open-ce ...
The conical diamond is retained in material of specific thermal expansion coefficient to ensure that it is not loosened when the temperature rises. The tool comprises a head which includes a small diamond (2) fixed to a support body (3). The diamond has a ...
This article presents experimental results of heat transfer from two different studies [1, 2] for horizontal flow boiling inside smooth copper tubes with different refrigerants. The main goal of this study was to verify the influence of the saturation temp ...
Aluminum nitride (AlN) has been applied to various applications, including electronic substrates and packaging, semiconductor production components, wide band gap semiconductor, light-emitting diodes (LED) and acoustic wave devices; at the same time, it is ...
