Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum-silicon based metal materials technology, specifically relating to a high thermal conductivity composite metal material and its preparation method and application. This material is particularly suitable for heat dissipation requirements under extreme conditions such as 5G communication equipment, electric vehicle power batteries, and spacecraft thermal control systems. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technologies such as 5G communication, artificial intelligence chips, and high-power LEDs, traditional heat dissipation materials are struggling to meet the ever-increasing heat dissipation demands. Currently, mainstream heat dissipation materials on the market face the following technical bottlenecks:

[0003] 1) Traditional metal heat sinks (such as pure aluminum and copper): thermal conductivity is close to the theoretical limit (pure aluminum 237W / m·K, pure copper 401W / m·K).

[0004] 2) Graphene-reinforced composite materials: exhibit significant anisotropy, with the Z-axis thermal conductivity being only 30% of that in the XY direction;

[0005] 3) Phase change materials: They suffer from significant thermal response hysteresis and poor cycling stability;

[0006] 4) Microchannel liquid cooling system: Boiling critical phenomenon is prone to occur under high heat flux density (>100W / cm²).

[0007] There is an urgent need for a next-generation thermal management material based on metal materials that, while maintaining excellent mechanical strength (structural function), integrates an active heat dissipation mechanism through a revolutionary internal structural design, thereby breaking through the limits of traditional passive heat conduction theory of metals to meet the challenges of extreme high heat flux density.

[0008] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This disclosure provides at least one high thermal conductivity composite metal material, its preparation method, and its application.

[0010] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a high thermal conductivity composite metal material, comprising: a nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix with an Al-Mg-Si-Sc composition, the surface of which contains a dislocation mesh; microchannels formed within the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix and three-dimensionally interconnected to form a microchannel network; a catalyst layer with a TiO2 composition, attached to the inner wall of the microchannels; a liquid metal working fluid with a Ga-In-Sn-Al alloy composition, filling the microchannels; and an Ag nanocone array located on the surface of the dislocation mesh; wherein the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix comprises, by mass percentage: 5-7% Mg, 0.5-1.5% Si, 0.3-0.7% Sc, with the remainder being Al; and the dislocation mesh is formed by a pulsed electromagnetic field with a density of 10. 12 / m 2 The microchannel is loaded with SiC nanowires and / or diamond nanoparticles, the volume of which is 0.5-5% of the volume of the microchannel; the diameter of the SiC nanowires is 20-50 nm and the aspect ratio is greater than 100.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the microchannel diameter is 50-300 μm; the thickness of the catalyst layer is 1-5 nm; and the Ag nanocone array has a cone height of 200-800 nm, a spacing of 100-300 nm, and a surface roughness Ra of 50-200 nm.

[0012] In one alternative embodiment, the Ga-In-Sn-Al alloy is prepared by the following method:

[0013] Step 1: Take spherical aluminum powder with a particle size of 50-100nm and a purity higher than 99.99%, immerse it in an ethanol solution of 0.5mol / L citric acid, sonicate for 8-12 minutes and then separate the solid and liquid. Wash the solid material several times with ethanol.

[0014] Step 2: Transfer the solid material after ethanol washing to a 0.1% stearic acid acetone solution, stir at 35-45℃ for 20-40 min, separate the solid and liquid and dry to obtain pretreated aluminum powder;

[0015] Step 3: Heat the Ga-In-Sn alloy to 140-160℃ in an argon atmosphere, and introduce argon gas mixed with 5% hydrogen into the Ga-In-Sn alloy. Bubble for 20-40 minutes, let it stand, remove the surface oxide slag, transfer it to a vacuum furnace for vacuum degassing, and obtain the pretreated Ga-In-Sn alloy.

[0016] Step 4: The pretreated aluminum powder obtained in Step 2 and the pretreated Ga-In-Sn alloy obtained in Step 3 are transferred to a ball mill at a mass ratio of 1:(49-99) and mechanically alloyed in an argon atmosphere to obtain a pre-composite alloy.

[0017] Step 5: The pre-composite alloy is subjected to ultrasonic cavitation treatment in an argon atmosphere for 20-40 minutes. After treatment, it is transferred to a vacuum furnace and degassed under vacuum with magnetic stirring. It is then cooled to room temperature to obtain the Ga-In-Sn-Al alloy.

[0018] In one optional embodiment, when the SiC nanowires and / or the diamond nanoparticles are loaded, a 1 vol% SiC nanowire ethanol suspension and / or 0.5 wt% diamond nanoparticles are prepared, and the suspension is infiltrated into the microchannels by vacuum suction. After drying at 80°C for 2 hours, the suspension is cured, thereby achieving the loading of SiC nanowires and / or diamond nanoparticles.

[0019] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a method for preparing a high thermal conductivity composite metal material, comprising the following steps:

[0020] S1: Nanocrystalline powder was prepared by gas atomization with a cooling rate of 10. 6 K / s, and then using pulsed electromagnetic field treatment, the nanocrystalline powder contains a dislocation network, and the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix is ​​formed by SLM technology and microchannels are formed therein.

[0021] S2: Femtosecond laser processing of the inner surface of microchannels;

[0022] S3: A TiO2 catalytic layer is grown on the inner wall of the microchannel using atomic layer deposition.

[0023] S4: Vacuum-filled liquid metal working fluid;

[0024] S5: Ag nanocone array fabricated by magnetron sputtering.

[0025] In one optional implementation, the method includes: S1, where the SLM employs a checkerboard scanning strategy with a scanning speed of 700-900 mm / s, a laser power of 350-400 W, and a layer thickness of 20-50 μm; S2, where the laser wavelength is 800 nm and the pulse width is 100 fs; S3, where the atomic layer deposition method uses a deposition temperature of 150-250 °C, with TiCl4 and H2O as precursors, a laser power of 380 W, and a layer thickness of 35 μm; S4, where the vacuum infusion pressure is 0.2-0.5 MPa; and S4, where the magnetron sputtering working gas pressure is 0.8 Pa and the power is 200 W.

[0026] Thirdly, this disclosure also provides an application of the high thermal conductivity composite metal material described above in 5G communication equipment, electric vehicle power batteries, and spacecraft thermal control systems.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the high thermal conductivity composite metal material, its preparation method, and its application utilize aluminum, magnesium, silicon, and scandium elements to form a nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix. Since this matrix primarily uses metallic elements, it avoids problems such as anisotropy, significant thermal response hysteresis, poor cycle stability, and boiling criticality. Simultaneously, the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix contains a high-density dislocation network, further enhancing the overall heat transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix contains hollow microchannels filled with liquid metal as a phase change working fluid, thereby achieving a synergistic effect of active heat transport and passive heat conduction. The catalyst layer promotes the evaporation-condensation cycle of the liquid metal, strengthens the phase change heat transfer of the liquid metal working fluid, enhances interfacial bonding and wettability, improves the adhesion of the liquid metal to the channel walls, and inhibits oxidation and side reactions of the phase change working fluid. The core advantage of this invention lies in its leapfrog improvement in heat dissipation capacity achieved through the synergistic effect of multiple components: the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix serves as a high-strength framework, achieving efficient passive heat conduction through its internal dislocation network, while the microchannel network constructed within it and the liquid metal working fluid form a "heat highway" for active heat transport; the combination of these two components forms a dual heat dissipation mechanism of passive diffusion and active pumping. Based on this, the TiO2 catalyst layer optimizes interface wettability and inhibits oxidation reactions, ensuring the long-term stability of the liquid metal circuit, while the Ag nanocone array on the surface significantly reduces contact thermal resistance, ensuring that heat can be instantly captured. Ultimately, these components together constitute a complete, efficient, and stable thermal management system from the heat source interface to final heat dissipation.

[0044] Research has found that existing technologies and traditional heat dissipation materials (such as traditional metal radiators, graphene-reinforced composite materials, phase change materials, and microchannel liquid cooling systems) are no longer sufficient to meet the growing heat dissipation demands.

[0045] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a high thermal conductivity composite metal material, its preparation method, and its application. A nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix is ​​constructed using aluminum, magnesium, silicon, and scandium elements. Since this matrix primarily uses metallic elements, it avoids problems such as anisotropy, significant thermal response hysteresis, poor cycle stability, and boiling criticality.

Furthermore, the nanocrystalline aluminum alloy matrix contains hollow microchannels filled with liquid metal as a phase change working fluid, thereby achieving a synergistic effect of active heat transport and passive heat conduction. It is particularly suitable for heat dissipation requirements under extreme conditions such as 5G communication equipment, electric vehicle power batteries, and spacecraft thermal control systems.

[0046] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0047] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0048] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0049] Process Description:

[0050] 1. Gas atomization preparation process:

[0051] During gas atomization, the cooling rate is controlled to approximately 10. 6 K / s is crucial for obtaining nanocrystalline structures. To achieve this cooling rate, the following specific process parameters are used:

[0052] Atomizing gas: High-purity nitrogen (purity ≥ 99.999%);

[0053] Gas pressure: 6–8 MPa;

[0054] Melt superheat: 200–250℃, above the liquidus temperature;

[0055] Nozzle diameter: 2–3 mm;

[0056] Atomizing tower height: 3–4m;

[0057] Melt flow rate: 2–4 kg / min;

[0058] Under these conditions, the alloy droplets rapidly solidify during flight, forming a nanocrystalline structure with an average grain size of 50–150 nm.

[0059] 2. Pulse electromagnetic field treatment process

[0060] Pulsed electromagnetic field treatment is used to introduce a high-density dislocation network (≥10) in an existing nanocrystalline matrix. 12 / m 2 The specific processing parameters are as follows:

[0061] Pulsed magnetic field strength: 2–4 T;

[0062] Pulse frequency: 10–50 Hz;

[0063] Pulse width: 100–500 μs;

[0064] Processing temperature: 200–300℃ (below the alloy recrystallization temperature);

[0065] Processing time: 30–120 seconds;

[0066] Magnetic field direction: perpendicular to the main heat dissipation direction of the sample, in order to optimize the enhancement effect of dislocation mesh on heat conduction.

[0067] Under the above parameters, the strong Lorentz force induced by the pulsed electromagnetic field, combined with thermal stress, promotes the proliferation and entanglement of dislocations at the grain boundaries, forming a continuous and uniform three-dimensional dislocation network.

Conversely, when an element is referred to as “directly on another element or layer,” “directly joined to,” “directly connected to,” “directly attached to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there may be no intermediate elements or layers present. Other terms used to describe relationships between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0189] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific exemplary configurations only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular articles “a,” “an,” and “the” may also be intended to include plural forms unless otherwise clearly stated herein. The terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” are inclusive and thus specify the presence of features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein should not be construed as requiring them to be performed in the specific order discussed or shown, unless specifically identified as such. Additional or alternative steps may be employed.

[0190] As used herein, the phrases “in one embodiment,” “according to one embodiment,” “in some embodiments,” etc., generally refer to the fact that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic following the phrase can be included in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. Therefore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of this disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. As used herein, the terms “example,” “exemplary,” etc., are used to “serve as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation, aspect, or design described herein as “example” or “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or superior to other implementations, aspects, or designs. Rather, the use of the terms “example,” “exemplary,” etc., is intended to present concepts in a specific manner.

[0191] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as a second element, component, region, layer, or segment.

[0193] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0194] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.

[0195] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
