Properties of Aluminum Matrix Composite (AMCs) for Electronic Packaging

Abstract:

In this study, the microstructure of prepared AMCs with the homogenous distribution of fly ash analyzed using optical microscope. The microstructure having refinement of structure with the decreasing of Si-needle structure and increasing the area of eutectic α-Al matrix as shown in Figure 3. Besides, as the increasing amount of fly ash incorporated, there are more petal-like dark structure existed in the microstructure. The density of the AMCs decreased as the incorporation of fly ash increased. While the hardness strength of the AMCs increased with the incorporation of fly ash. The addition of fly ash particles improved the physical and mechanical properties of the AMCs.
