Novel Cubic Boron Nitride-Reinforced Cu/Ni Alloy Elemental Metal Matrix Composites for Electromagnetic Radiation Shielding Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper investigates a new type of metal matrix composite, namely elemental metal matrix composites (EMMC), where a matrix contains elemental metal powders joined at selective interfaces with other property-enhancing powders to strategically preserve properties of individual constituents. These composites have the potential advantage of reduced demands on high-temperature processing while boasting unique multifunctional properties. cBN-reinforced nickel alloy 20/Cu80 composites (with cBN content ranging from 0 to 5 wt.%) were fabricated using a powder metallurgy processing sequence. The saturation magnetization, the coercivity, electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and hardness of the EMMCs were investigated. An increase in cBN content from 1 to 5 wt.% resulted in a slight decline in the relative green and sintered density by about 5% and thermal conductivity from 155.95 to 59.16 W/(m.K) while increasing the electrical resistivity from 4.59 to 12.10 µΩ cm, saturation magnetization from 9.51 to 11.94 emu/g, and hardness from 164 to 206 HV. However, the coercivity decreased from 4 to 2.7 Oe. In accordance with the rule of mixtures and the Maxwell model, an increase in thermal conductivity with an increase in cBN content is predicted. However, using Wiedemann–Franz law (using experimental electrical resistivity measurements) shows a decline in thermal conductivity with increase in cBN content, due to multiple factors related to the sintered EMMCS including porosity, cBN agglomeration, and reduced interfacial bonding between powder constituents.
