Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of brazing connection of dissimilar materials, in particular to a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint and a brazing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Diamond, with its excellent properties, including low thermal expansion coefficient, high thermal conductivity, isotropic thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and strong radiation resistance, is considered one of the most promising thermal management materials. To meet its structural and functional requirements, diamond is often bonded to metals or to itself. However, most metals cannot wet diamond or chemically react with it, hindering the metallurgical bonding between diamond and metal.
[0003] Currently, there are several main methods for achieving interfacial bonding between diamond and metal. First, direct bonding under high pressure and high temperature is used. However, traditional processing techniques make it difficult to achieve a good interface and suffer from poor mechanical properties. Second, an interfacial bonding layer is introduced by metallizing the diamond surface. However, current modification processes (such as electroless plating, chemical vapor deposition, and magnetron sputtering) all have the disadvantages of interface defects and weak interface strength, making it impossible to guarantee interface reliability and effective heat conduction. Next, there is the active brazing method. Adding carbide-forming elements such as Ti, Cr, Zr, and W to the brazing metal can achieve interfacial bonding of diamond. Various types of active brazing alloys, such as Ni-based, Cu-based, and Ag-Cu-based alloys, are used for diamond / metal bonding. However, due to the high processing temperature of most active brazing metals, severe thermal damage and microcracks will form inside the diamond, resulting in poor mechanical properties. Therefore, in some processing processes, melting point inhibitors such as Sn and In are added to the brazing metal system to effectively reduce the brazing temperature and form a low thermal conductivity interface phase. However, the formation of a low thermal conductivity interface phase will inevitably reduce the heat transfer performance of the diamond / metal joint. In summary, traditional connection technologies are difficult to simultaneously meet the mechanical and heat transfer performance requirements of the diamond / metal interface. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The problem solved by the present invention is how to solve the problem that traditional connection technology is difficult to simultaneously meet the mechanical property and heat transfer performance requirements of the diamond / metal interface.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint and a brazing method thereof.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for brazing a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Laser processing of diamond surface to draw periodic micro-nano structures on the diamond surface;
[0008] Brazing filler metal is coated on the surface of diamond with periodic micro-nano structures, fixed in a diamond / brazing filler metal sandwich structure, and vacuum brazing is performed to obtain a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint.
[0009] Optionally, before the step of laser processing the diamond surface, the method further includes the following steps: cleaning the base material, the base material including diamond and metal, soaking the base material in alcohol and ultrasonically cleaning it for 5-10 minutes, and then drying it after taking it out.
[0010] Optionally, the step of laser processing the diamond surface specifically includes: using a picosecond laser to laser process the diamond surface, wherein the laser spot diameter is 10-40 microns, the processing speed is 10-40 mm / s, the laser power is 0.5-12.5 W, and the repetition frequency is 100-400 KHz.
[0011] Optionally, the periodic micro-nano structure is a micrometer-scale periodic structure or a nanometer-scale periodic structure, and the periodic micro-nano structure includes a periodic micro-groove or hole array or a honeycomb array.
[0012] Optionally, when the solder is in powder form, the solder is mixed with cellulose and dissolved in terpineol to form a paste, which is then applied to the diamond surface with a periodic micro-nano structure, wherein the ratio of the solder, terpineol and cellulose is 2:1:1-3:1:1.
[0013] Optionally, the solder is an active solder, and the solder is silver-copper-indium-titanium or silver-copper-titanium or silver-copper-tin-titanium.
[0014] Optionally, the metal is aluminum or copper.
[0015] Optionally, the step of fixing the diamond / solder / metal sandwich structure specifically includes: placing the sandwich structure in a mold and applying a pressure of 0.5-4 MPa for fixing.
[0016] Optionally, vacuum brazing specifically includes placing the fixed sandwich structure into a vacuum brazing furnace for heating, and the vacuum brazing furnace maintains a vacuum degree of less than 10 -5 , maintain a heating rate of 10-20℃ / min, heat to 400℃ and keep warm for 5-20min, continue to maintain a heating rate of 10-20℃ / min, heat to 640℃-860℃, keep warm for 20-40min, and maintain a cooling rate of 5-10℃ / min to room temperature.
[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint, which is manufactured using the brazing method for a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint as described in any one of the above items.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the high-thermal-conductivity diamond / metal joint and brazing method of the present invention are as follows: a diamond / metal interface structure is prepared on the diamond surface through laser processing, thereby increasing the effective contact area of the diamond / metal interface, similar to introducing a heat sink structure at the interface, and achieving more efficient heat transfer at the interface. In addition, due to the introduction of periodic micro-nanostructures into the diamond ablation area during the scanning process, when phonons are reflected at the interface of dissimilar materials, the sidewalls of the micro-nanostructures provide an interface for the secondary transmission of phonons. The introduction of the periodic micro-nanostructures at the interface transforms the original two-dimensional heat transfer from the diamond to the metal interface into a three-dimensional heat transfer mode, improving the interface heat transfer capacity and thermal conductivity by approximately 20%. Furthermore, the brazing material is completely filled in the periodic micro-nanostructure, and the joint structure is uniform and defect-free. Regarding the improvement of the mechanical properties of the joint, the diamond / metal interface structure is prepared through laser processing. On the one hand, it improves the stress distribution of the joint and relieves the stress concentration of the joint. On the other hand, the periodic micro-nanostructure of the interface, through the crack deflection effect, prolongs the fracture path when the joint breaks in the face of external force, consumes the energy required for fracture, and improves the mechanical properties of the joint by about 30%. In addition, it does not require excessively high processing temperatures to avoid severe thermal damage and cracks in the diamond. Therefore, diamond / metal joints with uniform structure and no defects such as cracks can simultaneously possess better mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.

[0028] In related technologies, fabricating micro-nanostructure arrays at interfaces facilitates interfacial heat conduction. Researchers have found that interfacial micro-nanostructures can be an effective way to enhance interfacial heat conduction between solids. Furthermore, in the field of materials manufacturing, it is generally believed that such rough interfaces can also significantly improve the interfacial bonding strength of materials. Therefore, by introducing interfacial micro-nanostructures, it is expected that both the mechanical properties and thermal transfer performance of diamond / metal joints will be improved.
[0029] In response to the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, this embodiment provides a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint and a brazing method thereof.
[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides a brazing method for a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint, comprising the following steps:
[0031] Laser processing of diamond surface to draw periodic micro-nano structures on the diamond surface;
[0032] Brazing filler metal is coated on the surface of diamond with periodic micro-nano structures, fixed in a diamond / brazing filler metal sandwich structure, and vacuum brazing is performed to obtain a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint.
[0033] In this embodiment, laser processing is used to create a diamond / metal interface structure on the diamond surface, increasing the effective contact area of the diamond / metal interface. This is similar to introducing a heat sink structure at the interface, enabling more efficient heat transfer at the interface. Furthermore, during the laser processing process, periodic micro-nanostructures are introduced into the diamond ablation region. When phonons are reflected at the interface of dissimilar materials, the sidewalls of the micro-nanostructures provide an interface for secondary transmission of phonons. The introduction of the periodic micro-nanostructures transforms the original two-dimensional heat transfer from the diamond to the metal interface into a three-dimensional heat transfer mode, improving the interface's heat transfer capacity and boosting thermal conductivity by approximately 20%, with a thermal conductivity greater than 500 W / (m·K). Furthermore, the brazing material is completely filled within the periodic micro-nanostructure, resulting in a uniform, defect-free joint structure.
[0034] Regarding the improvement of the mechanical properties of the joint, laser processing is used to create a diamond / metal interface structure. This not only improves the stress distribution in the joint and alleviates stress concentration, but also the periodic micro-nanostructure of the interface, through a crack deflection effect, prolongs the fracture path when the joint breaks in response to external forces, dissipating the energy required for fracture and improving the mechanical properties of the joint by approximately 30%, with a connection strength of ≥200 MPa. Furthermore, excessively high processing temperatures are not required, preventing severe thermal damage and cracks within the diamond.
[0035] Overall, diamond / metal joints with uniform structure and no defects such as cracks can have better mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.
[0036] Optionally, before the step of laser processing the diamond surface, the method further includes the following steps: cleaning the base material, the base material including diamond and metal, soaking the base material in alcohol and ultrasonically cleaning it for 5-10 minutes, and then drying it after taking it out.
[0037] In this optional embodiment, ultrasonic cleaning removes dirt, grease, corrosion products or other contaminants on the surface of the parent material.
[0038] Specifically, the base material is soaked in alcohol and placed in an ultrasonic cleaning machine for ultrasonic cleaning.
[0039] Optionally, the step of laser processing the diamond surface specifically includes: using a picosecond laser to laser process the diamond surface, wherein the laser spot diameter is 10-40 microns, the processing speed is 10-40 mm / s, the laser power is 0.5-12.5 W, and the repetition frequency is 100-400 KHz.
[0040] In this optional embodiment, the selection of various parameters in the laser processing step can obtain periodic micro-nano structures at the micron or nanometer level. From the perspective of thermal conductivity, the precision of the periodic micro-nano structures, processing defects and graphic parameters (such as specific surface area, aspect ratio, etc.) will all affect the interface thermal conductivity. The provided processing parameters can achieve the optimal thermal conductivity of the laser processing grooves.
[0041] Specifically, before laser processing, the eyepiece is focused to a laser spot diameter of 10-40 microns. The laser processing path is drawn using AutoCAD, with periodic micro-nanostructures such as periodic microgrooves, hole arrays, and honeycomb arrays individually drawn for different structures. After laser ablation, the surface is ultrasonically cleaned with alcohol for 5-10 minutes and then dried.
[0042] Optionally, the periodic micro-nano structure is a micrometer-scale periodic structure or a nanometer-scale periodic structure, and the periodic micro-nano structure includes a periodic micro-groove or hole array or a honeycomb array.
[0043] In this optional embodiment, periodic micro-nanostructures, such as periodic microgrooves, hole arrays, and honeycomb arrays, allow phonons to reflect at the interface of dissimilar materials through the sidewalls of the micro-nanostructures, providing a secondary transmission interface for the phonons. The introduction of these periodic micro-nanostructures transforms the original two-dimensional heat transfer from diamond to metal into a three-dimensional heat transfer mode, improving the interfacial heat transfer capacity. Through the crack deflection effect, these periodic micro-nanostructures extend the fracture path when the joint breaks in response to external forces, dissipating the energy required for fracture and improving the mechanical properties of the joint.
[0044] Optionally, when the solder is in powder form, the solder is mixed with cellulose and dissolved in terpineol to form a paste, which is then applied to the diamond surface with a periodic micro-nano structure, wherein the ratio of the solder, terpineol and cellulose is 2:1:1-3:1:1.
[0045] In this optional embodiment, laser processing prepares a diamond / metal interface structure on the diamond surface, and solder paste can be applied to the interface structure, increasing the contact area between the diamond / metal interface and the solder paste, and achieving more efficient heat transfer at the interface.
[0046] Specifically, the brazing material can be in the form of powder, foil, or adhesive tape. The foil or adhesive tape can be cut to the same size as the diamond and then applied to the diamond surface. The powdered brazing material is mixed with terpineol and cellulose to form a paste. The ratio of brazing material, terpineol, and cellulose is 2:1:1 to 3:1:1. The paste is evenly applied to the ablation side of the diamond surface using screen printing.
[0047] Optionally, the solder is an active solder, and the solder is silver-copper-indium-titanium or silver-copper-titanium or silver-copper-tin-titanium.
[0048] In this optional embodiment, active brazing material is used to achieve diamond / metal interface bonding.
[0049] Optionally, the metal is aluminum or copper.
[0050] In this optional embodiment, aluminum and copper are both metals with high thermal conductivity.
[0051] Optionally, the step of fixing the diamond / solder / metal sandwich structure specifically includes: placing the sandwich structure in a mold and applying a pressure of 0.5-4 MPa for fixing.
[0052] In this optional embodiment, after the pressure is applied, the diamond / solder paste / metal sandwich structure does not move relative to each other. The mold can be a graphite mold.
[0053] Optionally, vacuum brazing specifically includes placing the fixed sandwich structure into a vacuum brazing furnace for heating, and the vacuum brazing furnace maintains a vacuum degree of less than 10 -5 , maintain a heating rate of 10-20℃ / min, heat to 400℃ and keep warm for 5-20min, continue to maintain a heating rate of 10-20℃ / min, heat to 640℃-860℃, keep warm for 20-40min, and maintain a cooling rate of 5-10℃ / min to room temperature.
[0054] Specifically, the second heating temperature is 640-860°C, which is the melting point of the solder. The melting point of the silver-copper-indium-titanium solder is 640-720°C, the melting point of the silver-copper-tin-titanium solder is 720-800°C, and the melting point of the silver-copper-titanium solder is 720-860°C.
[0055] In this optional embodiment, the vacuum brazing temperature is relatively low, thereby preventing serious thermal damage and cracks inside the diamond due to high temperature.
[0056] An embodiment of the present invention provides a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint, which is manufactured using the brazing method for a high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint as described in any one of the above items.
[0057] In this embodiment, the connection strength between diamond and metal of the obtained high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint is ≥200 MPa, the joint thermal conductivity is >500 W / (m·K), and the high thermal conductivity diamond / metal joint has uniform structure and no obvious defects.
