The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum-
silicon-based
metal materials, and particularly relates to a high-thermal-
conductivity composite
metal material and a preparation method and application thereof, and the high-thermal-
conductivity composite
metal material is suitable for heat dissipation requirements of 5G communication equipment,
electric vehicle power batteries,
spacecraft thermal control systems and the like. A nanocrystalline aluminum
alloy matrix is formed by aluminum,
magnesium,
silicon,
scandium and other metal elements, and the problems of
anisotropy, obvious thermal response
lag, obvious poor
cycling stability, boiling critical phenomenon and the like do not exist; meanwhile, the nanocrystalline aluminum
alloy matrix comprises a high-density
dislocation grid, so that the overall
heat transfer efficiency is further improved; in addition, a micro-channel is formed in the nanocrystalline aluminum
alloy matrix,
liquid metal is poured into the micro-channel to serve as a
phase change working medium, and therefore the synergistic effect of active heat transportation and passive heat conduction is achieved. The catalyst layer is used for promoting
evaporation-condensation circulation of
liquid metal and strengthening
phase change heat transfer of a
liquid metal working medium; the
interface bonding and wettability are enhanced, and the attachment of liquid metal and the channel wall is improved; and
phase change working medium oxidation and
side reaction are inhibited.
