Abstract
Poor wetting and bonding serve as significant challenges in the joining of carbon materials at low temperatures. In this work, the ultrasonically assisted hot dipping of pyrolytic graphite was investigated in a SnAgCu–2Al liquid metal at a low temperature of 250 °C in air. During the ultrasonic-assisted hot-dipping process, the filler metal filled into the surface grooves of pyrolytic graphite. A closely contacting interface formed between the pyrolytic graphite and the filler metal. Interlayer penetration induced by the cavitation effect, and the amount and depth of penetration increased with ultrasonication time. A transition layer of Al2O3 was formed at the interface between pyrolytic graphite and the filler metal. Large amounts of O atoms were induced at the interface during the ultrasonically assisted hot-dipping process, and the reaction of Al and O preferentially occurred between the liquid metal and solid C. This was consistent with the thermodynamic calculation results. The joining of metallizing-pyrolytic graphite was achieved by soldering at same temperature of 250 °C in air, where the highest joint strength could reach 17.52 MPa, achieving a joining module with a high thermal conductivity of 392 W/(m·K) and reaching 90 % of the base material.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
