Abstract

Abstract Pyrolytic Graphite (PG) was metallized successfully using Cr-Ni films by arc ion plating (AIP) route. Adhesion strength of films was characterized by Scratch testing (ST), and it was shown that critical load exceeded 40N, implying a good adhesion strength has been achieved in our study. Wettability was evaluated with Ag72Cu28 brazing alloy on the surface, and a contact angle about 12 was obtained, which is very favorable to the subsequent brazing step. Present experimental results will provide a drive for practical applications of PG materials.
