Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy materials, and particularly to a high thermal conductivity aluminum profile for a 5G base station radiator and its preparation process. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of the rapid development of 5G communication technology, the power consumption of base station equipment has increased significantly, resulting in the heat dissipation problem becoming a key factor restricting its performance and stability. 5G base stations usually adopt high-density integrated circuits and high-power radio frequency devices. These core components will generate a large amount of heat during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated effectively, it will lead to an increase in the operating temperature of the equipment, affecting the signal transmission stability, reducing the service life of the components, and even causing system failures. Therefore, as the core component of the base station thermal management system, the radiator must have high thermal conductivity to quickly transfer heat from the heat source to the heat dissipation medium, and at the same time ensure good mechanical strength to support the structural stability and adapt to complex environments. Specifically, an ideal radiator material for a 5G base station should have high thermal conductivity to reduce the thermal resistance and improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and at the same time have high strength and low thermal expansion coefficient to avoid deformation or cracking caused by thermal cycling. In addition, the material should have good corrosion resistance and processing performance to meet the long-term use requirements of the outdoor environment. Therefore, developing radiator materials with both high thermal conductivity and excellent mechanical properties is of great significance for improving the stability of 5G base station equipment, extending its service life, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] At present, due to its excellent thermal conductivity, light weight and good processability, aluminum matrix composites have become one of the main candidate materials for 5G base station radiators. However, existing aluminum matrix composites still have the problem of being difficult to balance thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. For example, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN110117731B discloses a preparation method of an ultra-high thermal conductivity diamond particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite, but its interfacial bonding force is weak, resulting in a decline in the mechanical properties of the composite material, which limits its practical application. In addition, the reinforcement phase of traditional aluminum matrix composites is unevenly distributed, and the interfacial thermal resistance is large, so that the overall thermal conductivity does not reach the ideal level. Some studies have tried to improve the thermal conductivity of materials by adding thermal conductivity enhancers (such as SiC, AlN, etc.), but due to the poor interfacial matching between the reinforcement phase and the aluminum matrix, it often leads to an increase in the brittleness of the material and a decrease in mechanical properties. On the other hand, some studies use powder metallurgy or melting casting processes to prepare high thermal conductivity aluminum matrix materials, but due to the difficulty in controlling the reaction between the reinforcement and the matrix, brittle phases are easily formed at the interface, resulting in a decline in the toughness of the material. Therefore, how to improve the thermal conductivity of aluminum matrix composites while optimizing the interfacial bonding force, uniformly distributing the reinforcement phase and improving the overall mechanical properties is still the key challenge in current research. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the technical problems in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a high thermal conductivity aluminum profile for a 5G base station radiator and its preparation process.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A high thermal conductivity aluminum profile for a 5G base station radiator, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 45 - 60 parts of magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement, 35 - 55 parts of aluminum alloy powder; The magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement is composed of a diamond dual-scale reinforcement and a magnesium boride coating layer on the surface of the diamond dual-scale reinforcement; The diamond dual-scale reinforcement is composed of micron-scale diamond particles and nano-scale diamond particles; The mass ratio of the micron-scale diamond particles to the nano-scale diamond particles is (5.0 - 8.0):1; The high thermal conductivity aluminum profile for a 5G base station radiator includes a diamond dual-scale reinforcement, an aluminum alloy matrix, and an intermediate layer therebetween; the thickness of the intermediate layer is 30 - 42 nm.

[0006] The intermediate layer contains Al 3 BC phase, and the Al 3 BC phase is in-situ formed by the magnesium boride coating layer, the diamond dual-scale reinforcement, and the aluminum alloy powder at high temperature.

[0007] Furthermore, the average particle size of the micron-scale diamond particles is 5.0 - 10.0 μm; the average particle size of the nano-scale diamond particles is 450.0 - 950.0 nm; Furthermore, the thickness of the magnesium boride coating layer is 15 - 30 nm; Furthermore, the aluminum alloy powder is an Al-Si-Mg alloy powder, the Si content is 5.0 - 8.0 wt.%, the Mg content is 0.5 - 1.2 wt.%, and the balance is Al; The present invention adopts the design of compounding magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcements with an aluminum alloy matrix, mainly used to enhance the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the material to meet the requirements of high-efficiency thermal management and structural stability for 5G base station radiators. Diamond becomes an ideal reinforcement due to its excellent thermal conductivity. However, the interfacial bonding force between it and the aluminum matrix is weak, which easily leads to an increase in interfacial thermal resistance and affects the overall performance of the composite material. The present invention optimizes the filling effect of the reinforcement by introducing a dual-scale combination of micron-scale and nano-scale diamond particles, enabling it to form a uniformly distributed high-thermal-conductivity network in the aluminum matrix. Among them, the micron-scale diamond particles provide the dominant heat conduction path, and the nano-scale diamond particles fill the micro-gaps, improving the compactness and uniformity of interfacial bonding, thereby effectively reducing the interfacial thermal resistance of the composite material. To further enhance the interfacial compatibility between diamond and the aluminum matrix, the present invention uses a magnesium boride coating layer with a thickness controlled within 15 - 30 nm to form an Al 3 BC transition layer through high-temperature in-situ reaction. The thickness of this transition layer is 30 - 42 nm, which can effectively improve the bonding strength between diamond and the aluminum matrix, reduce interfacial defects, avoid interfacial heat loss caused by direct contact, and at the same time improve the mechanical properties of the material. The aluminum alloy matrix uses Al-Si-Mg alloy powder. The addition of Si helps to improve the fluidity and creep resistance of the aluminum matrix, while the addition of Mg can promote the precipitation of strengthening phases, further enhancing the mechanical strength and heat resistance stability of the material. Each component shows a high degree of synergy during the compounding process. The diamond dual-scale reinforcements provide an efficient heat conduction path, the magnesium boride coating layer and the Al 3 BC transition layer optimize the interfacial bonding, and the aluminum alloy matrix ensures good processability and structural strength, making the final material possess both excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, meeting the application requirements of 5G base station radiators in a high heat flux environment.

[0008] Furthermore, the preparation method of the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement is as follows: Immerse the diamond dual-scale reinforcement in the electroless plating solution, and the mass ratio of the diamond dual-scale reinforcement to the electroless plating solution is (25-45):(80-120); The plating solution contains, by weight: 12-15 parts of nano magnesium boride, 20-22 parts of sodium hypophosphite, 4.5-5.5 parts of sodium succinate, 23-25 parts of sodium acetate, and 7-9 parts of dimethyl sulfoxide; Adjust the pH of the plating solution to 5.5-6.5 with 0.1-0.5 mol / L sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid solution, and disperse for 10-30 min at a mechanical stirring rate of 300-500 rpm to form a uniform suspension; Transfer the suspension to a reaction kettle, heat it to 90-100 °C at a heating rate of 3-5 °C / min, and keep it at a constant temperature for deposition for 50-70 min; After the deposition is completed, cool it to room temperature at 2-4 °C / min, filter and separate the solid product, and wash the solid product with deionized water 3-5 times, with the water consumption per time being 5-10 times the mass of the solid product; Place the washed solid product in a vacuum drying oven, dry it at 60-80 °C for 2-4 h, and then heat it to 280-320 °C at a heating rate of 10-15 °C / min in a tubular furnace under an argon atmosphere, keep it warm for 50-70 min to complete the annealing treatment, and obtain the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement after cooling to room temperature.

[0009] Furthermore, the preparation method of the surface-activated diamond dual-scale reinforcement is as follows: Place the diamond dual-scale reinforcement raw material in a plasma etching reaction chamber, evacuate to a base pressure ≤ 1×10 -3 Pa, introduce a mixed gas of argon and hydrogen, with an argon flow rate of 50-100 sccm and a hydrogen flow rate of 5-15 sccm, and maintain the chamber pressure at 10-50 Pa; Excite the plasma with a radio frequency power source, with a power density of 0.5-2.0 W / cm², control the substrate temperature at 300-500 °C, and the treatment time is 20-40 min; During the treatment process, rotate the substrate support at 5-15 rpm to ensure uniform irradiation of the plasma; After the reaction is completed, stop supplying gas, and cool it to room temperature at a cooling rate of 5-10 °C / min under argon protection to obtain the surface-activated diamond dual-scale reinforcement.

[0010] The present invention adopts the design of surface-activated diamond dual-scale reinforcements and magnesium boride coating, mainly used to enhance the thermal conductivity and interfacial bonding properties of the composite material. An amorphous carbon layer is obtained on the surface of the surface-activated diamond dual-scale reinforcements, which is beneficial to the formation of a transition layer from a thermodynamic perspective. In order to optimize the interfacial compatibility between the reinforcements and the aluminum matrix, the present invention conducts surface activation treatment on the diamond dual-scale reinforcements through a plasma etching process. In a mixed atmosphere of argon and hydrogen, the high-energy effect of radio-frequency plasma is used to remove surface impurities and induce the formation of an amorphous carbon layer. This amorphous carbon layer can reduce the interfacial energy, improve the interfacial reaction activity, and provide a uniform and stable deposition basis for the subsequent magnesium boride coating. Subsequently, a magnesium boride layer is deposited on the surface of the diamond dual-scale reinforcements through an electroless plating process. The synergistic effect of nanoscale magnesium boride, sodium hypophosphite, sodium succinate, sodium acetate, and dimethyl sulfoxide in the electroless plating solution enables the magnesium boride coating layer to adhere uniformly to the diamond surface, and the deposition quality is optimized by controlling the pH value and temperature. The deposited reinforcements are annealed in a tubular furnace under an argon atmosphere to further densify the magnesium boride layer, improve its structural stability, and promote chemical reactions with the aluminum matrix during the subsequent high-temperature composite process, in-situ generating a transition layer containing Al 3 BC phase. The formation of this transition layer not only enhances the bonding strength between the diamond and the aluminum matrix, effectively reduces the interfacial thermal resistance, but also avoids problems such as interfacial debonding or thermal expansion mismatch that may be caused by direct contact, thus ensuring the overall structural stability and long-term service performance of the composite material. Each component shows a high degree of synergy during the entire preparation process. Plasma etching provides an activated surface, the amorphous carbon layer optimizes the interfacial reaction thermodynamics, the magnesium boride coating layer improves the interfacial bonding ability, and finally heat treatment promotes the generation of the Al 3 BC transition layer, realizing the firm bonding between the reinforcements and the matrix, enabling the composite material to have excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical properties, and meeting the requirements of high-efficiency thermal management and structural stability for 5G base station radiators.

[0011] Furthermore, the interface between the Al 3 BC phase and the aluminum alloy matrix is a semi-coherent interface.

[0012] The semi-coherent interface can effectively relieve interfacial stress, reduce interfacial defects, enhance the interfacial bonding strength, reduce the interfacial thermal resistance, and thus optimize the heat conduction efficiency. At the same time, it helps to reduce phonon scattering losses, improve the overall thermal conductivity of the material, enhance the structural stability and durability of the composite material, and ensure its long-term service in a high heat flux environment.

[0013] The present invention also discloses a preparation method for an aluminum profile of a high-thermal-conductivity 5G base station radiator, including the following steps: S1. Dry the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement and aluminum alloy powder separately. The drying temperature is 80 - 100 °C, and the drying time is 2 - 4 h. Place the dried magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement and aluminum alloy powder in a high-energy planetary ball mill, add zinc stearate as a process control agent, and the addition amount is 0.1 - 0.5 wt.% of the system. Fill the ball mill tank with argon for protection; the ball-to-powder ratio is (10 - 15):1, the ball milling speed is 100 - 150 rpm, and the ball milling time is 60 - 90 min; S2. Load the mixed powder into the cavity of a cold pressing mold, and perform three-stage pressing at room temperature to obtain a green billet preform; S3. Place the green billet preform in a biaxial hot isostatic pressing equipment for hot isostatic pressing sintering to obtain a strengthened billet; S4. After preheating the strengthened billet to 420 - 430 °C, perform two-stage extrusion on a four-column hydraulic press: the first pass is completed with a rate of 1 - 2 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of (10 - 12):1 for the formation of the basic cavity; the second pass is adjusted to a rate of 3 - 5 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of (8 - 12):1, and finally obtain a high thermal conductivity aluminum profile for 5G base station radiators.

[0014] Furthermore, the three-stage pressing is as follows: in the pre-pressing stage, keep the pressure at 50 - 80 MPa for 5 - 10 min to eliminate particle gaps; in the main pressing stage, pressurize at a rate of 10 - 15 MPa / s to 300 - 350 MPa and keep the pressure for 10 - 15 min; in the final pressing stage, apply a pressure of 350 - 400 MPa to break through the friction locking between particles to obtain a green billet preform; Furthermore, the isostatic pressing sintering process includes implementing staged loading: after an axial preload of 100 - 120 MPa, heat up to 540 - 560 °C at a rate of 5 - 8 °C / min, and simultaneously apply a radial pressure of 150 - 180 MPa and keep it warm for 60 - 90 min.

[0015] The present invention adopts the design of compounding magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement with an aluminum alloy matrix, which is mainly used to enhance the thermal conductivity and structural stability of aluminum profiles for high thermal conductivity 5G base station radiators. By optimizing the interfacial bonding of the reinforcement and the preparation process of the composite material, efficient heat conduction and excellent mechanical properties are achieved. First, the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement and aluminum alloy powder are dried to ensure their stable dispersion during the subsequent ball milling process. And by adding zinc stearate as a process control agent, agglomeration of powder particles during high-energy ball milling is prevented, and the mixing uniformity is improved. The ball milling process is carried out under argon protection, controlling the ball-to-powder ratio, ball milling speed and time to uniformly disperse the magnesium boride-coated diamond in the aluminum alloy matrix and form a good contact interface between the particles. Subsequently, a three-stage pressing process is used to prepare a green preform. The particle gaps are eliminated in the pre-pressing stage, a high pressure is applied in the main pressing stage to ensure dense packing of the particles, and the friction locking between the particles is broken through in the final pressing stage, so that the green preform has a uniform internal structure, providing a basis for subsequent densification treatment. The green preform is sintered by biaxial hot isostatic pressing. Through staged loading, it is slowly heated after axial preloading, and radial pressure is applied synchronously to uniformly densify the material, reduce the porosity, improve the interfacial bonding strength, and ensure the effective bonding between the reinforcement and the aluminum alloy matrix. In the final extrusion forming process, a two-stage extrusion process is adopted. First, the basic cavity is formed at a lower rate and a larger extrusion ratio, and then the extrusion rate and extrusion ratio are adjusted to further optimize the internal organizational structure while the material undergoes controlled plastic deformation, reduce defects, and improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the final aluminum profile. Each process link cooperates with each other. The drying treatment ensures the stability of the powder, the ball milling process realizes uniform dispersion, the three-stage pressing improves the density of the green body, the hot isostatic pressing sintering optimizes the interfacial bonding, and the two-stage extrusion improves the organizational structure, thus ensuring the high heat dissipation capacity, excellent mechanical properties and long-term stability of the material in the application of 5G base station radiators.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this solution are as follows: 1. By compounding the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement with the aluminum alloy matrix, optimizing the interfacial bonding, reducing the thermal resistance, improving the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, and meeting the heat dissipation requirements of 5G base stations. The dual-scale diamond constructs an efficient heat conduction network, the magnesium boride coating and the Al 3 BC transition layer enhance the interfacial bonding, and the aluminum alloy matrix improves the structural stability. The synergistic effect of each component ensures that the material has both high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties and long-term service stability.

[0017] 2. By surface-activating the diamond dual-scale reinforcement and optimizing the interfacial bonding with magnesium boride coating, reducing the thermal resistance, improving the thermal conductivity and structural stability. Plasma etching, amorphous carbon layer, magnesium boride coating and Al 3The BC transition layer has a synergistic effect, enhancing the interfacial compatibility, reducing defects, and improving the long-term service performance of the composite material in the 5G base station radiator.

[0018] 3. In the present invention, the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement is combined with the aluminum alloy matrix to optimize the interfacial bonding, reduce the thermal resistance, improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, and enhance the thermal management efficiency of the 5G base station radiator. The processes of drying, ball milling, three-stage pressing, hot isostatic pressing, and two-stage extrusion work together to ensure the material is uniform, dense, and has a stable interface, with both high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and long-term service stability.

A continuous and uniform amorphous carbon layer is observed on the surface of the reinforcement, indicating that the plasma activation process has successfully improved the wettability of the diamond surface, which is conducive to the full occurrence of subsequent interfacial reactions. Figures 3 and 4 respectively show the macroscopic and microscopic morphologies of the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement, both indicating that the magnesium boride coating layer is uniform and complete, proving that the optimized electroless plating process can stably form a high-quality coating layer and enhance the interfacial bonding force between the reinforcement and the aluminum matrix. Figure 5 further reveals the cross-sectional morphology of the reinforcement, matrix, and the transition layer between the two in the aluminum profile. It is observed that the interfacial bonding is tight and the transition layer is uniform, confirming the formation of the Al 3 BC transition layer and verifying its semi-coherent interfacial structure with the aluminum alloy matrix, indicating that this interface has good stability and thermal conductivity. Figure 6 shows the interfacial morphology between the Al 3 BC phase and the aluminum alloy matrix, further confirming the existence of this phase and its role in interfacial bonding. In summary, these experimental results fully demonstrate the significant advantages of the key process optimization of the present invention in terms of reinforcement dispersion, interfacial bonding strength, transition layer uniformity, and interfacial stability, providing a theoretical and experimental basis for the preparation of high thermal conductivity 5G base station radiator aluminum profiles.

[0046] The preparation method of a high thermal conductivity 5G base station radiator aluminum profile in this embodiment includes the following steps: S1. Dry the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement and aluminum alloy powder respectively, with a drying temperature of 92 °C and a drying time of 3 h. Place the dried magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement and aluminum alloy powder in a high-energy planetary ball mill, add zinc stearate as a process control agent, with an addition amount of 0.3 wt.% of the system, and fill the ball mill with argon for protection; The ball-to-material ratio is 13:1, the ball milling speed is 130 rpm, and the ball milling time is 78 min; S2. Load the mixed powder into the cavity of a cold pressing mold, and perform three-stage pressing at room temperature to obtain a green body preform; The three-stage pressing is that in the pre-pressing stage, keep the pressure at 68 MPa for 8 min to eliminate particle gaps, in the main pressing stage, pressurize at a rate of 13 MPa / s to 330 MPa and keep the pressure for 13 min, and in the final pressing stage, apply a pressure of 380 MPa to break through the friction locking between particles to obtain the green body preform; S3.

The isostatic pressing sintering process includes implementing staged loading: after an axial preload of 112 MPa, heat up to 552 °C at a rate of 7 °C / min, simultaneously apply a radial pressure of 168 MPa and hold for 78 min.

[0047] S4. After preheating the strengthened blank to 426 °C, perform two-stage extrusion on a four-column hydraulic press: in the first pass, complete the forming of the basic cavity at a rate of 1.6 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of 11:1; in the second pass, adjust to a rate of 4.2 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of 10:1, and finally obtain the aluminum profile for high thermal conductivity 5G base station radiators.

[0048] Comparative Example 1 The difference from Example 1 is that the weight fraction of the magnesium boride-coated diamond dual-scale reinforcement is adjusted to 30 parts, and the weight fraction of the aluminum alloy powder is adjusted to 60 parts. Due to the decrease in the content of the reinforcement, the thermal conductivity of the material decreases, the mechanical strength decreases, and the interfacial bonding performance is poor.

[0049] Comparative Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that the mass ratio of the micron-scale diamond particles to the nano-scale diamond particles is adjusted to 3:1. This change leads to an imbalance in the size grading of the reinforcement, an unstable interfacial transition layer, ultimately resulting in a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the material and a reduction in the uniform distribution of the reinforcement in the matrix.

[0050] Comparative Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that the thickness of the magnesium boride coating layer is adjusted to 3 nm. The thin coating leads to a decrease in the chemical stability of the reinforcement interface, and it is prone to interfacial peeling during the sintering process, resulting in insufficient formation of the Al 3 BC transition layer, a decrease in the interfacial bonding force, and ultimately a reduction in the overall stability and thermal conductivity of the material. Figure 7 shows the microstructural characteristics of the aluminum profile prepared in Comparative Example 3. The interfacial debonding phenomenon is clearly observed, indicating that when the thickness of the magnesium boride layer is too thin, the interfacial bonding force between the reinforcement and the matrix decreases significantly, resulting in a serious impact on the overall stability and thermal conductivity of the material.

[0051] Comparative Example 4 The difference from Example 1 is that the pH value of the electroless plating solution is adjusted to 4.0. The too low pH reduces the stability of the plating solution, resulting in uneven deposition of the coating, ultimately affecting the interfacial bonding quality of the reinforcement and reducing the formation efficiency of the transition layer Al 3 BC phase.

[0052] Comparative Example 5 The difference from Example 1 is that the content of sodium hypophosphite in the electroless plating solution is adjusted to 10 parts. Insufficient sodium hypophosphite leads to insufficient reduction reaction, uneven coating, and incomplete formation of the magnesium boride coating on the surface of some reinforcements, affecting subsequent sintering and interfacial bonding properties.

[0053] Comparative Example 6 The difference from Example 1 is that the pressure in the final pressing stage of cold pressing is adjusted to 200 MPa. Insufficient final pressing pressure results in a lower initial density of the green compact, affecting the densification degree of subsequent sintering, ultimately leading to a decrease in the mechanical strength of the material and an increase in internal porosity.

[0054] Comparative Example 7 The difference from Example 1 is that the temperature of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment is adjusted to 400°C. Too low HIP treatment temperature leads to insufficient sintering densification and insufficient interfacial bonding between the reinforcement and the matrix, ultimately affecting the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of the material.

[0055] Comparative Example 8 The difference from Example 1 is that the pressure of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment is adjusted to 50 MPa. Insufficient HIP pressure results in insufficient elimination of pores in the material and loose interfacial bonding, ultimately affecting the thermal conductivity and fatigue resistance of the material.

[0056] Comparative Example 9 The difference from Example 1 is that the diamond dual-scale reinforcement is not treated with magnesium boride coating.

[0057] Comparative Example 10 The difference from Example 1 is that the diamond dual-scale reinforcement is replaced with an equal mass of single micron-scale diamond.

[0058] Comparative Example 11 The difference from Example 1 is that the diamond dual-scale reinforcement is replaced with an equal mass of single micron-scale diamond.

[0059] Comparative Example 12 The difference from Example 1 is that the diamond dual-scale reinforcement is not treated with surface activation, resulting in no amorphous carbon layer formed on the surface, thereby affecting the formation of the transition layer.

[0060] Performance Test: Thermal conductivity test: The laser flash analysis (LFA) method was used to measure the thermal diffusivity (α) of the aluminum profiles, and the thermal conductivity (κ) of the materials was calculated by combining the density (ρ) and specific heat capacity (Cp). During the experiment, the samples were processed into circular wafers with a diameter of 1012 mm and a thickness of 23 mm. One side of the sample was heated by a laser pulse, and the temperature response curve on the other side was recorded by an infrared detector. The test temperature range was set from room temperature to 300 °C to monitor the change trend of the thermal conductivity to evaluate the thermal conduction performance of the materials in the heat dissipation application of 5G base stations. This test method conforms to the ASTM E1461-13 standard.

[0061] Mechanical property test: An electronic universal testing machine was used to measure the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), and elongation (ε) of the aluminum profiles to evaluate the influence of the reinforcement on the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy matrix. According to the ASTM E8 / E8M-16a standard, the samples were prepared into dumbbell-shaped tensile specimens (25 mm gauge length), with a thickness of 2 - 3 mm and a width of 5 - 10 mm. During the test, the loading rate was set at 1 mm / min, the test temperature was room temperature (25 °C), the stress-strain curve was recorded, and the deformation behavior of the materials was analyzed. In addition, a Vickers hardness tester (HV0.5) was used to conduct hardness tests in the matrix region, reinforcement region, and interface region. The loading pressure was set at 500 g, the loading time was 10 s, and 10 different regions were tested and the average value was statistically analyzed.

[0062] The properties of the aluminum profiles in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 12 are summarized in Table 1.

[0063] Table 1 Properties of the aluminum profiles in Examples 1 - 4 and Comparative Examples 1 - 12 As can be seen from Table 1, the key factors affecting the properties of the high thermal conductivity 5G base station radiator aluminum profiles include the reinforcement content, size distribution of the reinforcement, coating thickness, pH value of the electroless plating solution, sodium hypophosphite content, cold pressing pressure, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment temperature and pressure, surface coating treatment of the diamond reinforcement, activation treatment of the reinforcement, and the uniformity of the microstructure. The reduction of the reinforcement content will decrease the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the materials, while the imbalance of the size distribution of the reinforcement will affect the interfacial bonding force and heat conduction efficiency; too thin a coating thickness will lead to a decrease in the interfacial bonding force, affecting Al 3Formation of the BC transition layer, thereby reducing the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength; if the pH of the electroless plating solution is too low, it will affect the stability of the coating, resulting in uneven deposition of the coating on the surface of the reinforcement, leading to a decrease in the interfacial bonding quality; insufficient content of sodium hypophosphite will cause the electroless plating reaction to be incomplete, affecting the integrity of the coating, and further affecting the subsequent sintering and interfacial bonding properties; insufficient cold pressing pressure will result in a relatively low initial density of the material, affecting the densification degree of the subsequent sintering, increasing the porosity, and reducing the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity; too low HIP treatment temperature will lead to insufficient sintering densification, insufficient interfacial bonding between the reinforcement and the matrix, affecting the thermal conductivity efficiency and mechanical strength, while insufficient HIP pressure will lead to insufficient elimination of pores, reducing the interfacial bonding force and affecting the fatigue resistance of the material; if the diamond reinforcement is not treated with magnesium boride coating, the interfacial reaction is insufficient, and Al 3 The BC transition layer cannot be effectively formed, resulting in a decrease in thermal conductivity and mechanical properties; if the surface activation treatment is not carried out and the amorphous carbon layer is not formed on the surface of the reinforcement, it will affect the formation of the transition layer, reduce the interfacial bonding quality, and further affect the overall material properties; in addition, using a single micron-scale diamond to replace the dual-scale reinforcement will lead to uneven distribution of the reinforcement, weakening the interfacial bonding force, reducing the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of the material, and ultimately affecting the overall performance of the radiator. Generally speaking, these factors have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness of the material. Optimizing these process parameters and the reinforcement structure is the key to improving the comprehensive performance of the material.
