Manufacturing of Aluminum Metal Matrix Cast Composites with Carbon Based Additives for Thermal Management Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work focuses on the production of new high conductive carbon based MMC (Metal Matrix Composites) or co-cast components obtained by casting processes. These novel thermally conductive structures are designed to face modern heat management challenges in critical fields such as power micro-electronics, automotive and aerospace industries, renewable energy generation as well as highest performance combustion engines. The sought parts will be assembled by different heat conductive aluminum-carbon composites and for this reason different heat conductive MMCs have been studied. Their combination into once cast aluminum part may allow the part to meet applicative needs for heat management challenges. The cast production routes as well as thermal behavior of the obtained materials has been studied by means of numerical (Finite Element Methods) approaches in order to determine the effective thermal conductivity in the different directions of heat dissipation. Some kinds of casting methods have been FEM simulated and then performed practically. TPG/aluminum interface microstructure has been studied.
