The thermo-physical properties of the nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal K3B6O10Br (KBB) were experimentally investigated, including specific heat, thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion and refractive index. The specific heat of KBB is lower than that of LiB3O5 and higher than that of other borate NLO crystals, such as β-BaB2O4, CsLiB6O10 and CsB3O5, and KBB manifests a high damage threshold because of its lower temperature gradient during laser pulse irradiation. The thermal expansion coefficients were obtained as α x = 5.09 × 10−6 K−1 and α z = 2.39 × 10−5 K−1, showing weaker anisotropy than those of commonly used NLO crystals. The temperature-dependent Sellmeier dispersion equations of the refractive indices were also obtained, and the phase-matching angles for second harmonic generation (SHG) at temperatures of 313, 343, 373, 403 and 433 K which were calculated from these equations are in good agreement with the experimental values. All results are indicative of the KBB crystal as a novel promising NLO crystal for high power SHG.

NaSr3Be3B3O9F4(NSBBF) as a new UV nonlinear optical crystal has aroused great interest in recent years. This study investigates the thermo-physical properties of NSBBF, including thermal expansion, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and specific heat, which are important parameters for applications. The specific heat of NSBBF is comparable to that of CsLiB6O10(CLBO) and larger than that of β-BaB2O4(β-BBO), indicating that NSBBF has a very high laser damage threshold. The thermal expansion coefficients of NSBBF are determined as αa= 1.05 × 10−5 K−1and αc= 1.34 × 10−5 K−1, exhibiting much smaller anisotropy than those of CLBO and β-BBO. The thermal diffusivity and conductivity of NSBBF are also obtained in the temperature region from 323 to 573 K, showing comparable anisotropies to β-BBO. All these results show that NSBBF is suitable for high-power UV laser generation.

Parts of thermal physical properties of Al-Si8-Cu2-Mg alloy were studied. The curves were plotted showing the relationship between density, specific heat capacity, coefficient of thermal expansion and the variation of temperature for the first time with this alloy. The results show that the density was decreased when the temperature was raised, but the specific heat capacity and the coefficient of thermal expansion were first increased and then decreased. The solidus-liquidus temperatures, latent heat of fusion were studied, and the results show that the melting temperature range of this alloy was 507-596°C.

2wt.%TiB2/Si-30Al composite was prepared by in-situ reaction and spray forming first and then by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The microstructure and thermo-physical properties of the composite were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, and thermal expansion analyzer respectively. The results show that the microstructure of the TiB2/Si-30Al composite consists of a continuous network of primary Si (~35μm), interpenetrating secondary Al phase, and fine TiB2particles (1~2μm). The TiB2particles were uniformly distributed in the Si-30Al alloy matrix. After HIP, the pores in the TiB2/Si-30Al composite were almost eliminated, and the relative density of the composite was up to 98.9%. The 2wt.%TiB2/Si-30Al composite after the HIP exhibits good thermo-physical properties, including lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) (6.6´10-6×K-1) and higher thermal conductivity (84 W×m-1×K-1).

In this study, wettability behavior of B4C substrate as well as B4C/crystalline rice husk ash and B4C/amorphous rice husk ash substrates with two aluminum alloys were studied. The electrical resistivity, thermal expansion coefficients, and thermal diffusivity of bilayer Al/B4C/rice husk ash composite fabricated by one-step pressureless infiltration were measured and the obtained data were systemically analyzed using the Taguchi method and analysis of variance. Boron carbide substrates after addition of amorphous or crystalline rice husk ash display good wettability with molten aluminum alloys. The results show that, electrical resistivity of Al/B4C/rice husk ash composites is mainly influenced by initial preform porosity, while the coefficient of thermal expansion of composites is determined by the chemical composition of infiltrated alloys. The measured values for coefficient of thermal expansion (10.5 × 10−6/℃) and electrical resistivity (0.60 × 10−5 Ω.m) of Al/B4C/rice husk ash composites, fabricated according to analysis of variance's optimal conditions are in good agreement with those of the projected values (11.02 × 10−6/℃ and 0.65 × 10−5 Ω.m, respectively). The difference between the corresponding values obtained from verification tests and projected values, for electrical resistivity and coefficient of thermal expansion are less than 5%. Finally, as a material selection approach, the strengths and weaknesses of the composites have been graphed in the form of radar diagrams.
