Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle ...

A study, led by Tingting Zuo, was based on the idea of in-situ growth, and a series of Cu/Gr composites with improved interfaces were prepared by vacuum hot press sintering. Combined with cold-drawing ...

Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.

Tolerating heat and helping to reduce it are both attributes that sintering offers as an alternative to soldering in power electronics applications. Doing more with less and, of course, packing more ...

It is well known that users of power electronics devices are facing an uphill battle in managing increasing heat loads from these components. Air-cooling is still the preferred method from a cost and ...
