Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating the hydrolysis resistance of diamond / aluminum composites. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, electronic devices are gradually miniaturized and highly integrated to achieve faster information processing and computing speeds. However, the power density of electronic devices is also increasing continuously, and a large amount of heat accumulates in the core areas such as chips. Failure caused by heat accumulation has become one of the main reasons for the failure of electronic devices.
[0003] Diamond / aluminum composites have low density, high thermal conductivity, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, and have become candidate materials for the next-generation electronic packaging heat dissipation materials. During the preparation of diamond / aluminum composites, an in-situ reaction occurs between diamond and aluminum to generate Al4C3 at the interface. Although Al4C3 can improve the interfacial bonding force between diamond and aluminum and further improve the thermophysical properties of the composites, the hydrolysis characteristics of Al4C3 will cause the failure of the diamond / aluminum interface, thereby reducing the performance and service life of the composites.
[0004] Currently, the generation of Al4C3 is mainly restricted by adding alloy elements such as Si to the aluminum matrix or coating the diamond particles with a metal coating. However, different contents of Al4C3 still exist at the interface of the diamond / aluminum composites prepared by the above methods (P. Zhu, et al., Nanomaterials , 13(2023): 307; C. Y. Guo, et al., Journal of Alloys and Compounds , 664(2016): 777). Therefore, an efficient method is needed to evaluate the Al4C3 content of diamond / aluminum composites, and further evaluate their hydrolysis resistance and service performance in practical applications.
[0005] Currently, related research evaluates the Al4C3 content by electrolytic extraction of diamond / aluminum composites and observing the surface of the diamond after extraction. However, during the electrolytic extraction process, some Al4C3 will be lost, so the Al4C3 content cannot be accurately measured (I. E. Monje, et al., Scripta Materialia, 66(2012): 789). There are also studies using focused ion beam-assisted scanning transmission electron microscopy to observe the Al4C3 content at the diamond / aluminum interface, but this method can only obtain information within a narrow area of 100 square micrometers (P. Zhu, et al., Composites Part A, 162(2022): 10716). Another study places the diamond / aluminum composite in a humid environment (W. Yang et al., Diamond & Related Materials, 46(2014): 35) to evaluate the changes in properties such as the thermal conductivity of the diamond / aluminum composite. However, this method can only qualitatively analyze the service performance of the diamond / aluminum composite, and cannot quantitatively and efficiently evaluate the Al4C3 content and its anti-hydrolysis performance in the composite material. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a method for evaluating the anti-hydrolysis performance of diamond / aluminum composites. By utilizing the characteristic that Al4C3 hydrolyzes to produce methane, the diamond / aluminum composite is placed in a sealed bottle with different humidity, different temperatures, and different hydrolysis corrosion liquids to simulate the usage environment of the composite material. A pump suction type gas detector is used to detect the methane concentration to obtain the Al4C3 content, and combined with a laser thermal conductivity meter to measure the change in thermal conductivity, the anti-hydrolysis performance of the diamond / aluminum composite is quantitatively and efficiently evaluated.
[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0018] Preferably, there is a certain amount of interfacial product Al4C3 at the interface of the diamond / aluminum composite material in step 1). The presence of Al4C3 can improve the thermal conductivity of the composite material on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is prone to hydrolysis reaction with water, reducing the service life of the composite material. The specific reaction equation is: Al4C3(s) + H2O(l) → Al(OH)3(s) + CH4↑, and the production amount of methane is positively correlated with the degree of hydrolysis reaction.

[0021] Preferably, the operating temperature range of the temperature control box in step 4) is -50 - 300°C.
[0022] Preferably, the hydrolysis time in step 5) is 1 - 1000 hours, preferably 100 - 700 hours.

[0028] The computer is electrically connected to the gas detector and the temperature control box respectively, and is used to record the detected methane concentration and the temperature in the temperature control box in real time.
[0029] Compared with other technologies, the prominent advantages of the present invention are:

[0092] Summarize the test results of the above examples as follows:
[0093] Examples 1, 2, and 3 are unplated diamond / aluminum composite materials, diamond / aluminum composite materials with a 20 μm nickel-phosphorus alloy coating on the surface, and diamond / aluminum composite materials with a 30 μm nickel-phosphorus alloy coating on the surface, respectively. For these three types of composite materials, the thermal conductivity decreased to varying degrees after 1 week (168 h) of hydrolysis corrosion in a 25 °C deionized water environment, and methane gas was generated during the reaction.

According to the percentage decreases in thermal conductivity and the amount of methane gas generated, the anti-hydrolysis properties of the samples of Examples 1, 2, and 3 were quantitatively evaluated. It shows that after electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy plating on the surface of the diamond / aluminum composite material, the anti-hydrolysis property of the sample is improved.
[0095] Examples 4, 5, and 6 were respectively an unplated diamond / aluminum composite material, a diamond / aluminum composite material with a 20-μm thick electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy coating on its surface, and a diamond / aluminum composite material with a 30-μm thick electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy coating on its surface. After 4 weeks (672 h) of hydrolysis corrosion in a deionized water environment at 25°C, the thermal conductivities of these three types of composite materials decreased to varying degrees, and methane gas was generated during the reaction. The composite material sample of Example 4 was different from that of Example 1 in terms of thermal conductivity and hydrolysis corrosion time.
[0096] After hydrolysis corrosion of the samples of Examples 4, 5, and 6, the percentage decreases in their thermal conductivities were 19.15%, 9.81%, and 9.42% respectively; the volumes of methane gas generated were 0.6 mL, 0.105 mL, and 0.075 mL respectively.

Example 6, that is, the sample of the diamond / aluminum composite material with a 30-μm thick electroless nickel-phosphorus alloy coating on its surface, had the best anti-hydrolysis property.
[0097] Compared with Examples 1-3, the hydrolysis corrosion time in Examples 4-6 was extended from 1 week to 4 weeks.

However, when the hydrolysis corrosion time was extended to 4 weeks, appropriately increasing the thickness of the nickel-phosphorus alloy coating could further reduce the hydrolysis reaction of the diamond / aluminum composite material.
