Influences of SiC Particle Size and Electroless Plating on the Properties of SiCp/Cu Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electroless plating technology was applied in order to improve the poor wettability between the copper and SiC. SiCp/Cu composites were frbricated by hot-press sintering technique. The influences of SiC particles (Cu-coated and Cu-uncoated) and SiCp/Cu-5vol%n-SiC on microstructures, relative density, bending strength and coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) were researched in detail. The results show that SiC particles distributed in Cu matrix uniformly. And a certain amount of SiC, the relative density and bending strength of SiCp/Cu(Cu-coated) composite were greater than SiCp/Cu(Cu-uncoated) composite, and the coefficient of thermal expansion was opposite, Between SiCp/Cu(Cu-coated) and SiCp/Cu-5vol% nanoscale SiC(n-SiC), the relative density and bending strength of SiCp/Cu(Cu-coated) were more than SiCp/Cu-5vol%n-SiC, and CTE was different.
