Abstract

Abstract The W/Cu graded heat-sink materials with high density were fabricated by electroless plating and powder metallurgy. The microstructure, interface and fracture of the graded heat-sink materials were observed using the field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The mechanical properties of the materials such as bending strength and hardness were determined. The results show that the structure of each layer is uniform and dense. The components of the cross-section present a graded distribution. There is no obvious interface among layers. The relative density of three-layer W/Cu graded heat-sink materials reaches 99.2%. The average values of microhardness HV of the radiating layer, the transitional layer and the sealing layer are 2000, 2100, 2400 MPa, respectively. It is indicated through the experimental results of bending strength that the bending strengths of the sealing layer and the radiating layer as the load-bearing surfaces are 428.5 and 480.7 MPa, respectively.
