Al-AlN composite material, related manufacturing method and heat exchanger using such composite material

摘要

An Al-AlN composite material, a heat exchanger and a related manufacturing method are disclosed. The Al-AlN composite material aluminum is manufactured by melting aluminum to allow a layer of melted aluminum to flow in an area over one surface of an AlN plate under an inactive gas atmosphere after which the layer of melted aluminum is solidified to form an Al plate bonded to the AlN plate. The heat exchanger includes the Al-AlN composite material forming at least part of a cooling medium flow passage with the AlN plate held in thermal contact with a heating body. The manufacturing method comprises melting aluminum to allow a layer of melted aluminum to flow in an area over one surface of an AlN plate under inactive gas atmosphere, and solidifying the layer of melted aluminum to form the Al plate bonded to the AlN plate.
