The demand for advanced thermal management materials such as silicon carbide reinforced copper matrix (Cu-SiCp) composites is increasing due to their high thermal conductivity and low CTE properties. However, the weak ...

Silicon carbide reinforced copper matrix (Cu-SiCp) composites fabricated via the conventional powder metallurgy methods have inferior thermophysical properties due to the weak bonding between the copper matrix and the SiCp ...

The demand for advanced thermal management materials such as silicon carbide particles reinforced copper matrix (Cu-SiCp) composites is increasing due to the stringent design requirement in the electronic packaging industries. ...

The introduction of the metal matrix composites as the advanced electronic packaging materials is highly anticipated because their thermal properties can be engineered to match those of semiconductors, ceramics substrates ...

Catastrophic failure is often associated with a large temperature rise. This situation may lead to a drastic deterioration in material strength where a cooling system is important for a smooth system plant operation to ...

In this paper, the autocatalyst copper coating (ACC) of silicon carbide particle (SiCp) was performed after a sequence of surface treatment, sensitization and surface activation processes. The ACC process was operated ...

Mg alloys played a significant role in replacing the existing sacrificial anodes. To maintain the negative potential and its capability in preventing corrosion, Ca and Al was added as alloying elements. Polarization curves ...

The failure took place on a welded elbow pipe which exhibited a catastrophic transverse rupture. The failure was located on the welding HAZ region, parallel to the welding path. Branching cracks were detected at the ...

Catastrophic failure is often associated with a large temperature rise. This situation may lead to a drastic deterioration in material strength where a cooling system is important for a smooth system plant operation to ...

An atmosphere-controlled furnace was designed for the casting process of highly reactive Mg metal and its alloys. Instead of open crucible furnace, the melting process was done under controlled atmosphere which contained ...
