Nano- and micro-/meso-scale engineered magnesium/diamond composites: Novel materials for emerging challenges in thermal management
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Magnesium/diamond composites, often overlooked or discarded for thermal management applications because of their low thermal conductivity values, can be considered serious candidates for these applications when their metal–diamond interfaces and phase compositions are properly engineered. In this study, magnesium/diamond composites with thermally enhanced interfaces and monomodal and bimodal distributions of particles are designed, manufactured and characterized to reach thermal conductivity values of up to 716 W/m K. This target value is competitive with the most recently developed aluminium- and copper-matrix composites and is achieved through a double-scale process of engineering that encompasses the following: (i) the application of a nano-dimensioned TiC coating on the diamond particles; and (ii) the use of bimodal mixtures of particles with an average size and proportions that are conveniently selected by micro-/meso-scale engineering based on blending different predictive schemes.
