Significant Interest

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.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to validate an assumption of what to use as an effective (steady state) heat transfer coefficient of thermal conductivity for the honeycomb core sandwiched by Fiberglass face sheets composite. A one-dimensional model based on Fourier law is developed. The results are validated experimentally. Design/methodology/approach The results were obtained from the one-dimensional mathematical model of an overall or effective heat conductivity of the Honeycomb composite panel. These results were validated experimentally by applying heat flux on the specimen under controlled environment. The surface temperatures at different voltages were recorded and analysed. The skin of the sandwich composite material used in the investigation was Fiberglass sheet with a thickness of 0.5 mm at the bottom and 1.0 mm at the top surface. Both skins have a stacking sequence of zero degrees. Due to the presence of air cells in the core (Honeycomb), the model considers the conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer, across the thickness of the panel, combined as an effective conduction mode, whose value may be predicted by using the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the air based on the average temperature difference between the two skins. The experimental results for the heat transfer through the thickness of the panel provide validation of this assumption/prediction. Both infrared thermography and conventional temperature measurement techniques (thermocouples) were used to collect the data. Findings The heat transfer experiment and mathematical modeling were conducted. The data obtained were analyzed, and it was found that the effective thermal conductivity was temperature-dependent as expected. The effective thermal conductivity of the honeycomb panel was close to that of air, and its value could be predicted if the panel surface temperatures were known. It was also found that as temperature raised the variation between experimental and predicted effective air conduction raised up. This is because there was an increase in molecular diffusion and vibration. Therefore, the convection heat transfer increased at high temperatures and the air became an insulator. Originality/value Honeycomb composite panels have excellent physical and thermal properties that influence their performance. This study provides an appropriate method in determining thermal conductivity, which is one of the critical thermal properties of porous composite material. This paper also gives useful and practical data to industries that use or manufacture honeycomb composite panels.

Thermal barrier coating systems (TBCs) prepared by an air-plasma spray (APS) have been used to protect metallic components of gas turbines because of its economic advantage. To enhance the energy efficiency of gas turbine systems, the operating temperature is increased to over 1300 °C, which requires a new material with low thermal conductivity and an increase of TBC thickness. In this study we have focused the microstructure related to the thickness of TBC and their thermal properties, with specific attention to defect species as well as to its morphology with the thermal exposure time. Resintering of TBC happens during thermal exposure in a high temperature, resulting in the less strain tolerance and the higher thermal conductivity. In order to investigate the thermal properties of TBC related to the microstructural evolution, TBCs with different thicknesses of 200 µm, 400 µm, 600 µm, and 2000 µm were deposited on a flat graphite by the APS. The thermal exposure tests were conducted in different dwell time till 800h at 1100 °C. The thermal diffusivity is significantly increased after thermal exposures, depending on the thermal exposure time. Microstructural analysis clearly shows that the variation of thermal diffusivity is ascribed to the coalescence of small cracks and the resintering effect. The hardness values of TBCs are also increased as well. The relationship between mechanical properties and TBC thickness is discussed, including the effect of thickness on thermal properties.

Mechanical and thermal properties of composites, consisted of unsaturated polyester resin, reinforced by different kinds of natural materials (Orange peels and Date seeds) and industrial materials (carbon and silica) with particle size 98 µm were studied. Various weight ratios, 5, 10, and 15 wt. % of natural and industrial materials have been infused into polyester. Tensile, three-point bending and thermal conductivity tests were conducted for the unfilled polyester, natural and industrial composite to identify the weight ratio effect on the properties of materials. The results indicated that when the weight ratio for polyester with date seeds increased from 10% to 15%, the maximum Young’s modulus decreased by 54%. When the weight ratio was 5%, the maximum Young’s modulus, yield stress and ultimate tensile stress occurred in the polyester with date seeds. The results of tensile and flexural tests showed that the natural composite material has a higher strength than the industrial material. While the results of flexural tests manifested that the maximum improvement in the flexural strength is obtained for orange peels at 5 wt. %, where the maximum increasing percentage is 153.4% than pure polyester. The thermal conductivity of orange peels decreased to the half value when the weight ratio increased from 10% to 15%. The thermal conductivity for polyester with orange peels was greater than the thermal conductivity of polyester with date seeds with maximum percentage occurred at weight ratio 10% is 14.4%, but the thermal conductivity of the industrial composite material was higher than the natural composite material. Finally, the date seeds composite was a good insulator and it had a reduced heat transfer rate in comparison to the rest of the samples, also the maximum variation of temperature with time occurred in date seeds composite.

In this paper, in order to improve the electrical and thermal properties of SiC/EP composites, the methods of compounding different crystalline SiC and micro-nano SiC particles are used to optimize them. Under different compound ratios, the thermal conductivity and breakdown voltage parameters of the composite material were investigated. It was found that for the SiC/EP composite materials of different crystal types of SiC, when the ratio of α and β silicon carbide is 1:1, the electrical performance of the composite material is the best, and the breakdown strength can be increased by more than 10% compared with the composite material filled with single crystal particles. For micro-nano compound SiC/EP composites, different total filling amounts of SiC correspond to different optimal ratios of micro/nano particles. At the optimal ratio, the introduction of nanoparticles can increase the breakdown strength of the composite material by more than 10%. Compared with the compound of different crystalline SiC, the advantage is that the introduction of a small amount of nanoparticles can play a strong role in enhancing the break-down field strength. For the filled composite materials, the thermal conductivity mainly depends on whether an effective heat conduction channel can be constructed. Through experiments and finite element simulation calculations, it is found that the filler shape and particle size have a greater impact on the thermal conductivity of the composite material, when the filler shape is rounder, the composite material can more effectively construct the heat conduction channel.

Abstract Composite materials are an emerging topic for research as a new competitive material in engineering. New classes of composite material manufactured from particles, nanoparticles and resins, and have experienced efficient and economical for the development and also replacement of new as well as deteriorating structures. In this study epoxy-nanoclay composite materials with varying compositions of nanoclay compared with pure epoxy and epoxy with 10, 20, and 30 by weight fraction of nanoclay are prepared for better insulating materials. The various thermal properties of the material were analyzed to demonstrate that the the prepared composite is a good insulator. An increase in specific heat maximum by 11.26%, thermal stability by 58.82% results in decrease in thermal conductivity maximum by 25.65%, diffusivity to 46.8% and also co-efficient of thermal expansion with an increase in nanoclay proportion is observed. DSC, TGA and TMA are used for determining the thermal properties. SEM and EDS analysis were used to show homogeneous mixture of epoxy and nanoclay.

The structure of a series of AlSb alloys prepared by melt spinning have been studied in the as melt–spun ribbons  as a function of antimony content .The stability  of these structures has  been  related to that of the transport and mechanical properties of the alloy ribbons. Microstructural analysis was performed and it was found that only Al and AlSb phases formed for different composition.  The electrical, thermal and the stability of the mechanical properties are related indirectly through the influence of the antimony content. The results are interpreted in terms of the phase change occurring to alloy system. Electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, elastic moduli and the values of microhardness are found to be more sensitive than the internal friction to the phase changes.

Thermal properties of materials such as specific heat, thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity are very important in the engineering design process and analysis of aerospace vehicles as well as space systems. These properties are also important in power generation, transportation, and energy storage devices including fuel cells and solar cells. Thermal conductivity plays a critical role in the performance of materials in high temperature applications. Thermal conductivity is the property that determines the working temperature levels of the material, and it is an important parameter in problems involving heat transfer and thermal structures. The objective of this research is to develop thermal properties data base for carbon-carbon and graphitized carbon-carbon composite materials. The carbon-carbon composites tested were produced by the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process using T300 2-D carbon fabric and Primaset PT-30 cyanate ester. The graphitized carbon-carbon composite was heat treated to 2500°C. The flash method was used to measure the thermal diffusivity of the materials; this method is based on America Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM E1461 standard. In addition, the differential scanning calorimeter was used in accordance with the ASTM E1269 standard to determine the specific heat. The thermal conductivity was determined using the measured values of their thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and the density of the materials.
