Interdiffusion and Intermetallic Compounds at Al/Cu Interfaces in Al-50vol.%Cu Composite Prepared by Solid-State Sintering.

ABSTRACT: Al-Cu composites have attracted significant interest recently owing to their lightweight nature and remarkable thermal properties. Understanding the interdiffusion mechanism at the numerous Al/Cu interfaces is crucial to obtain Al-Cu composites with high thermal conductivities. The present study systematically investigates the interdiffusion mechanism at Al/Cu interfaces in relation to the process temperature. Al-50vol.%Cu composite powder, where Cu particles were encapsulated in a matrix of irregular Al particles, was prepared and then sintered at various temperatures from 340 to 500 °C. Intermetallic compounds (ICs) such as CuAl₂ and Cu₉Al₄ were formed at the Al/Cu interfaces during sintering. Microstructural analysis showed that the thickness of the interdiffusion layer, which comprised the CuAl₂ and Cu₉Al₄ ICs, drastically increased above 400 °C. The Vickers hardness of the Al-50vol.%Cu composite sintered at 380 °C was 79 HV, which was 1.5 times that of the value estimated by the rule of mixtures. A high thermal conductivity of 150 W∙m^-1∙K^-1 was simultaneously obtained. This result suggests that the Al-50vol.%Cu composite material with large number of Al/Cu interfaces, as well as good mechanical strength and heat conductance, can be prepared by solid-state sintering at a low temperature.

Growth kinetics of Cu6Sn5 intermetallic compound at liquid-solid interfaces in Cu/Sn/Cu interconnects under temperature gradient.

Project description:The growth behavior of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the liquid-solid interfaces in Cu/Sn/Cu interconnects during reflow at 250 °C and 280 °C on a hot plate was investigated. Being different from the symmetrical growth during isothermal aging, the interfacial IMCs showed clearly asymmetrical growth during reflow, i.e., the growth of Cu6Sn5 IMC at the cold end was significantly enhanced while that of Cu3Sn IMC was hindered especially at the hot end. It was found that the temperature gradient had caused the mass migration of Cu atoms from the hot end toward the cold end, resulting in sufficient Cu atomic flux for interfacial reaction at the cold end while inadequate Cu atomic flux at the hot end. The growth mechanism was considered as reaction/thermomigration-controlled at the cold end and grain boundary diffusion/thermomigration-controlled at the hot end. A growth model was established to explain the growth kinetics of the Cu6Sn5 IMC at both cold and hot ends. The molar heat of transport of Cu atoms in molten Sn was calculated as + 11.12 kJ/mol at 250 °C and + 14.65 kJ/mol at 280 °C. The corresponding driving force of thermomigration in molten Sn was estimated as 4.82 × 10(-19) N and 6.80 × 10(-19) N.

Solid-Liquid Interdiffusion (SLID) Bonding of p-Type Skutterudite Thermoelectric Material Using Al-Ni Interlayers.

Project description:Over the past few years, significant progress towards implementation of environmentally sustainable and cost-effective thermoelectric power generation has been made. However, the reliability and high-temperature stability challenges of incorporating thermoelectric materials into modules still represent a key bottleneck. Here, we demonstrate an implementation of the Solid-Liquid Interdiffusion technique used for bonding Mmy(Fe,Co)?Sb12 p-type thermoelectric material to metallic interconnect using a novel aluminium?nickel multi-layered system. It was found that the diffusion reaction-controlled process leads to the formation of two distinct intermetallic compounds (IMCs), Al?Ni and Al?Ni?, with a theoretical melting point higher than the initial bonding temperature. Different manufacturing parameters have also been investigated and their influence on electrical, mechanical and microstructural features of bonded components are reported here. The resulting electrical contact resistances and apparent shear strengths for components with residual aluminium were measured to be (2.8 ± 0.4) × 10-5 ??cm² and 5.1 ± 0.5 MPa and with aluminium completely transformed into Al?Ni and Al?Ni? IMCs were (4.8 ± 0.3) × 10-5 ??cm² and 4.5 ± 0.5 MPa respectively. The behaviour and microstructural changes in the joining material have been evaluated through isothermal annealing at hot-leg working temperature to investigate the stability and evolution of the contact.

High-Temperature Oxidation of Fe₃Al Intermetallic Alloy Prepared by Additive Manufacturing LENS.

Project description:The isothermal oxidation of Fe-28Al-5Cr (at%) intermetallic alloy microalloyed with Zr and B (<0.08 at%) in air atmosphere, in the temperature range of 1000 to 1200 °C, was studied. The investigation was carried out on the thin-walled (<1 mm) elements prepared by Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) from alloy powder of a given composition. Characterization of the specimens, after the oxidation, was conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM, with back-scatter detector (BSE) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) attachments). The investigation has shown, that the oxidized samples were covered with a thin, homogeneous α-Al₂O₃ oxide layers. The intensity of their growth indicates that the material lost its resistance to oxidation at 1200 °C. Structural analysis of the thin-walled components' has not shown intensification of the oxidation process at the joints of additive layers.

Li-Ion Conductive Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) Solid Electrolyte Prepared by Cold Sintering Process with Various Sintering Additives.

Project description:The density, microstructure, and ionic conductivity of solid electrolyte Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) ceramics prepared by cold sintering using liquid and solid sintering additives are studied. The effects of both liquid (water and water solutions of acetic acid and lithium hydroxide) and solid (lithium acetate) additives on densification are investigated. The properties of cold-sintered LATP are compared to those of conventionally sintered LATP. The materials cold-sintered at temperatures 140-280 °C and pressures 510-600 MPa show relative density in the range of 90-98% of LATP's theoretical value, comparable or higher than the density of conventionally sintered ceramics. With the relative density of 94%, a total ionic conductivity of 1.26 × 10-5 S/cm (room temperature) is achieved by cold sintering at the temperature of 200 °C and uniaxial pressure of 510 MPa using water as additive. The lower ionic conductivities of the cold-sintered ceramics compared to those prepared by conventional sintering are attributed to the formation of amorphous secondary phases in the intergranular regions depending on the type of additives used and on the processing conditions selected.

Formation and Growth of Intermetallic Compounds during Reactions between Liquid Gallium and Solid Nickel.

Project description:Liquid metals, such as Ga and eutectic Ga-In, have been extensively studied for various applications, including flexible and wearable devices. For applying liquid metal to electronic devices, interconnection with the various metal electrodes currently in use, and verifying their mechanical reliability are essential. Here, detailed investigations of the formation and growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) during the reactions between liquid Ga and solid nickel were conducted. Ga and Ni were reacted at 250, 300, and 350 °C for 10-240 min. The IMC double layer observed after the reactions contained a Ga7Ni3 bottom layer formed during the reactions, and a GaxNi top layer (with 89-95 at.% of Ga) precipitated during cooling. Numerous empty channels exist between the rod-type Ga7Ni3 IMCs. Ga7Ni3 growth occurred only in the vertical direction, without lateral coarsening and merging between the rods. The time exponents were measured at 1.1-1.5, implying that the reaction kinetics were near-interface reaction-controlled. The activation energy for Ga7Ni3 growth was determined as 49.1 kJ/mol. The experimental results of the Ga-Ni reaction study are expected to provide important information for incorporating liquid metals into electronic devices in the future.

Steering the methanol steam reforming reactivity of intermetallic Cu-In compounds by redox activation: stability vs. formation of an intermetallic compound-oxide interface.

Project description:To compare the inherent methanol steam reforming properties of intermetallic compounds and a corresponding intermetallic compound-oxide interface, we selected the Cu-In system as a model to correlate the stability limits, self-activation and redox activation properties with the catalytic performance. Three distinct intermetallic Cu-In compounds - Cu7In3, Cu2In and Cu11In9 - were studied both in an untreated and redox-activated state resulting from alternating oxidation-reduction cycles. The stability of all studied intermetallic compounds during methanol steam reforming (MSR) operation is essentially independent of the initial stoichiometry and all accordingly resist substantial structural changes. The inherent activity under batch MSR conditions is highest for Cu2In, corroborating the results of a Cu2In/In2O3 sample accessed through reactive metal-support interaction. Under flow MSR operation, Cu7In3 displays considerable deactivation, while Cu2In and Cu11In9 feature stable performance at simultaneously high CO2 selectivity. The missing significant self-activation is most evident in the operando thermogravimetric experiments, where no oxidation is detected for any of the intermetallic compounds. In situ X-ray diffraction allowed us to monitor the partial decomposition and redox activation of the Cu-In intermetallic compounds into Cu0.9In0.1/In2O3 (from Cu7In3), Cu7In3/In2O3 (from Cu2In) and Cu7In3/Cu0.9In0.1/In2O3 (from Cu11In9) interfaces with superior MSR performance compared to the untreated samples. Although the catalytic profiles appear surprisingly similar, the latter interface with the highest indium content exhibits the least deactivation, which we explain by formation of stabilizing In2O3 patches under MSR conditions.

Thermoelectric SnS and SnS-SnSe solid solutions prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering: Anisotropic thermoelectric properties.

Project description:P-type SnS compound and SnS1-xSex solid solutions were prepared by mechanical alloying followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and their thermoelectric properties were then studied in different compositions (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) along the directions parallel (//) and perpendicular (⊥) to the SPS-pressurizing direction in the temperature range 323-823 Κ. SnS compound and SnS1-xSex solid solutions exhibited anisotropic thermoelectric performance and showed higher power factor and thermal conductivity along the direction ⊥ than the // one. The thermal conductivity decreased with increasing contents of Se and fell to 0.36 W m-1 K-1 at 823 K for the composition SnS0.5Se0.5. With increasing selenium content (x) the formation of solid solutions substantially improved the electrical conductivity due to the increased carrier concentration. Hence, the optimized power factor and reduced thermal conductivity resulted in a maximum ZT value of 0.64 at 823 K for SnS0.2Se0.8 along the parallel direction.

Graphene-Based Composite Membrane Prepared from Solid Carbon Source Catalyzed by Ni Nanoparticles.

Project description:Emerging as a light, flexible and highly thermally conductive material, graphene-based membranes have attracted extensive attention in thermal management field. However, the preparation of high-quality graphene-based membranes usually involves complex processes and thermal annealing at ultra-high temperature, which limits their large-scale application in thermal management field. In our study, reduced graphene oxide-Ni-hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (RGO-Ni-HPMC) composite membrane was prepared from catalytic pyrolysis of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) with Ni nanoparticles to generate multilayer graphene and form phonon transport channels between adjacent graphene layers. Further, our study shows that the RGO-Ni-HPMC composite membrane has a good heat dissipation effect at the hot spots at high temperature. The average temperature of hot spots is reduced by 11.5 °C. It is expected to solve the heat dissipation problem of high-power electronic equipment.

Amino Acids Aided Sintering for the Formation of Highly Porous FeAl Intermetallic Alloys.

Project description:Fabrication of metallic foams by sintering metal powders mixed with thermally degradable compounds is of interest for numerous applications. Compounds releasing gaseous nitrogen, minimizing interactions between the formed gases and metallic foam by diluting other combustion products, were applied. Cysteine and phenylalanine, were used as gas releasing agents during the sintering of elemental Fe and Al powders in order to obtain metallic foams. Characterization was carried out by optical microscopy with image analysis, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and gas permeability tests. Porosity of the foams was up to 42 ± 3% and 46 ± 2% for sintering conducted with 5 wt % cysteine and phenylalanine, respectively. Chemical analyses of the formed foams revealed that the oxygen content was below 0.14 wt % and the carbon content was below 0.3 wt %. Therefore, no brittle phases could be formed that would spoil the mechanical stability of the FeAl intermetallic foams. The gas permeability tests revealed that only the foams formed in the presence of cysteine have enough interconnections between the pores, thanks to the improved air flow through the porous materials. The foams formed with cysteine can be applied as filters and industrial catalysts.

Nucleation and growth of TiAl3 intermetallic phase in diffusion bonded Ti/Al Metal Intermetallic Laminate.

Project description:A novel nucleation and growth phenomenon for TiAl3 intermetallic phase in Ti/Al diffusion couple is proposed based on diffusion kinetics. The interdiffusion and intrinsic diffusion co-efficients are calculated to make evident of dominant diffusion of Al towards Ti in Ti/Al diffusion couple obtained by solid state diffusion bonding. It was surprising to observe that the diffusion rate of Al was around 20 times higher than Ti with the formation of Kirkendall pores near the Al/TiAl3 interface. With such dominant diffusion of Al towards Ti, the nucleation and growth of TiAl3 intermetallic phase in Ti/Al couple happens mainly at the Ti/TiAl3 interface rather than Al/TiAl3 interface which is evident by the presence of very fine nearly nano-sized TiAl3 nuclei/grains near the Ti/TiAl3 interface. Even though the intermetallic phase is expected to nucleate at Al/TiAl3 interface, the relatively larger TiAl3 grains near that interface depicts grain growth with minimal nucleation. The theoretical calculations on diffusion parameters are in accordance with experimental observations of TiAl3 intermetallic growth phenomenon in Ti/Al system.
