    An Investigation on the Spark Plasma Sintering Diffusion Bonding of Diamond/Cu Composites with a Cr Interlayer

    by Ying Zhou, Daochun Hu, Minghe Chen, Taowen Wu, Jindong Ouyang, Degan Xiong

    Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is an effective technique for studying the diffusion bonding of diamond/Cu composites, and has the potential to advance the application of copper matrix composites. This study investigates the SPS diffusion bonding of diamond/Cu composites using a chromium (Cr) interlayer. The effects of process parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the bonding interface were evaluated through shear strength testing and SEM analysis. The results show that shear strength increases with interlayer thickness up to a certain point, after which it decreases. As the bonding temperature, holding time, and bonding pressure increase, defects such as cracks and voids at the diffusion-bonded interface are reduced, resulting in improved shear strength. Under suitable conditions (10 μm interlayer, 810 °C, 60 min, and 10 MPa), the bonding interface is defect-free, achieving a maximum shear strength of 139.89 MPa and a thermal conductivity (TC) of 700.97 W/(m·K), indicating high-quality diffusion bonding.

    Effect of Pre-Strain on Microstructure and Tensile Properties of Ti-6Al-4V at Elevated Temperature

    by Taowen Wu, Ning Wang, Minghe Chen, Dunwen Zuo, Lansheng Xie, Wenxiang Shi

    Research on pre-deformation influences on material properties in multistep hot forming is of important scientific interest. In this paper, hot tensile tests at 850 °C and a strain rate of 0.001 s−1 were performed to study the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V with pre-strains at 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15. The tensile test results showed that the specimen with 0.05 pre-strain exhibited higher flow stress and larger elongation. Additionally, increasing the pre-strain resulted in a decrease in ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation (EL). The EBSD results showed that the main deformation mechanism of Ti-6Al-4V was high-angle grain boundary sliding. Pre-strain promoted dynamic recrystallization (DRX) by increasing the deformation substructure. The refinement of grains and the eradication of dislocations enhanced the deformability, resulting in an increase in flow stress.
