Quantification of Thermal Resistance of Transient-Liquid-Phase Bonded Cu/Al/Cu Interfaces for Assembly of Cu-Based Microchannel Heat Exchangers

TLDR
In this article, transient flash measurements were performed across bonding interface regions formed under various conditions, in combination with detailed structural examination and measurements of bulk mass density and specific heat, to evaluate the thermal resistance of TLP bonded Cu/Al/Cu interface regions.
Abstract
Transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of Cu structures with a thin elemental Al intermediate bonding layer is being used to assemble Cu-based, enclosed, microchannel heat exchangers (MHEs). The heterogeneous Cu/Al/Cu TLP bonding interface region, formed during the TLP bonding process, impacts heat transfer of the assembled MHE device. To evaluate the thermal resistance of TLP bonded Cu/Al/Cu interface regions, transient flash measurements were performed across bonding interface regions formed under various conditions, in combination with detailed structural examination and measurements of bulk mass density and specific heat. The flash method is shown to yield quantitative measurements of interfacial thermal resistance values. Our results provide guidance to developing bonding protocols for Cu-based MHEs with optimized heat transfer performance.

Experimental investigation of Cu-based, double-layered, microchannel heat exchangers

TL;DR: In this paper, a double-layered, liquid-liquid counter-flow MHE was constructed and compared with a single-layer MHE and showed similar heat transfer performance while suffering a much lower pressure drop penalty compared to a single layer.

Deformation behaviour of Cu and Cu–Al in the dislocation starved regime: A molecular dynamics study

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show anomalous softening in Cu-Al alloys deformed at 300 K. They show that there are two components to this softening; in addition to the heterogeneous nucleation at solute sites, the reduction in stacking fault energy with alloying addition promotes the (homogeneous) nucleation of partial dislocation loops.
