 Abstract:
Molybdenum copper composites combine the refractory properties of Mo with the high conductivity of Cu. For specific applications, a thermal expansion match is desired along with a high thermal conductivity, and it can be tailored by adjusting the relative amount of these constituents. In this paper, the porous molybdenum skeleton was fabricated through depositing semi-molten molybdenum particles by flame spraying and molybdenum-copper composites were produced by infiltrating a porous molybdenum skeleton with liquid copper. Molybdenum content in the composite was controlled by preparing porous molybdenum with different porosities. The effects of molybdenum skeleton porosity on properties of molybdenum-copper composite materials were investigated. The results indicate that the copper was densely infiltrated into the porous Mo deposit and the subsequent molybdenum-copper composite material exhibits a high thermal conductivity.
