Improvement of thermal conductivity of diamond/Al composites by optimization of liquid-solid separation process

Diamond/Al composites have been considered as the new generation of thermal management material. The critical challenge is that Al4C3 with deteriorating properties is easily generated at the interface of composites by conventional powder metallurgy and infiltration processes. This paper presents an independently developed liquid-solid separation (LSS) technology for fabricating diamond/Al composites with Cr-coated diamond particles. The key …
