Abstract
AlN/Cu composite powder was prepared by ball milling method. Laser particle size analyzer, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis were performed to study AlN/Cu composite powders. The effects of rotation speed, mixing time, and ball to powder weight ratio (BPR) on the particle size distribution, composition, and morphology were investigated. Results showed that the best ball milling parameters were the rotation speed of 200r/min, mixing time of 6 hours and BPR 10:1. In this best condition, AlN/Cu composite powders would be obtained with optimum particle size distribution and morphology. Then composite powders were pressed at 500MPa and sintered at 1000°C in N2 atmosphere. Finally, the composite with an AlN content of 33wt% showed the bending strength of 370MPa, Vikers hardness HV154, thermal conductivity of 182.7W/m°C and electrical conductivity of 3.08MS/m. However, the composite with an AlN content of 25wt% showed the bending strength of 329MPa, Vikers hardness HV122, thermal conductivity of 195W/m°C and electrical conductivity of 6.54MS/m.
