Abstract

Aluminium alloys is widely applied in heat sink but its application of heat absorption is still unsatisfied. While, Aluminum Nitride (AIN) was discovered as another option for heat sink application because of its great thermal conductivity and it also has high electrical conductivity at high temperature. Thus, the mechanical and chemical properties of a sintered mixed powder of Alumina and AIN are investigated experimentally. There are five different compositions of mixed powder of Alumina-AIN and sintered at three different sintering temperatures which are 1400°C, 1500°C and 1600°C. As applying a high sintering temperature on samples inducted great flexural strength and increase it modulus of rupture. High sintering temperature (1600°C) also affected the materials microstructure as the particle was arranged closely between each other and reduces the amount of porosity. The application of high temperature in the mixture of AIN with Alumina reduces the occurrence of flaws like cracking and accordingly improves the strength. These combination of Alumina-AIN brought acceptable result in thermal conductivity value analysis and as well enhancing the thermal conductivity.
