Numerical investigation of the microstructure of a clad layer produced via laser cladding with coaxial metal powder injection

The microstructure of a clad layer produced via selective laser cladding with coaxial metal powder injection is studied numerically. The Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov equation for condensed systems with inhomogeneous rates of nucleation is used to model the phase change kinetics. The impact of the substrate boundary along with interconnected heat transfer and phase change processes on the final microstructure of a built-up layer is demonstrated. The qualitative difference between the behavior of the temperature on the built-up layer’s surface and at the depth of the substrate is established, revealing the inhomogeneous microstructure of the final layer.     

Study of the thermal properties of Ba1−x SrxTiO3 thin films by the ac hot-probe method

The heat capacity and heat conductivity of Ba_1−x Sr_xTiO₃ (x=0.2, 0.5, 0.8) polycrystalline films 1.5–2.0 μm thick on a massive substrate have been studied by the ac hot-probe method for three-layer systems (conducting probe-dielectric film-substrate) at temperatures ranging from 100 to 400 K. It is found that the thermal properties exhibit anomalies in the phase transition range. __________ Translated from Fizika Tverdogo Tela, Vol. 42, No. 10, 2000, pp. 1839–1841.

Cooling performance of a nanofluid flow in a heat sink microchannel with axial conduction effect

In this work, the forced convection of a nanofluid flow in a microscale duct has been investigated numerically. The governing equations have been solved utilizing the finite volume method. Two different conjugated domains for both flow field and substrate have been considered in order to solve the hydrodynamic and thermal fields. The results of the present study are compared to those of analytical and experimental ones, and a good agreement has been observed. The effects of Reynolds number, thermal conductivity and thickness of substrate on the thermal and hydrodynamic indexes have been studied. In general, considering the wall affected the thermal parameter while it had no impact on the hydrodynamics behavior. The results show that the effect of nanoparticle volume fraction on the increasing of normalized local heat transfer coefficient is more efficient in thick walls. For higher Reynolds number, the effect of nanoparticle inclusion on axial distribution of heat flux at solid–fluid interface declines. Also, less end losses and further uniformity of axial heat flux lead to an increase in the local normalized heat transfer coefficient.     

Accurate prediction of the critical heat flux for pool boiling on the heater substrate

While the influence of liquid qualities, surface morphology, and operating circumstances on critical heat flux (CHF) in pool boiling has been extensively studied, the effect of the heater substrate has not. Based on the force balance analysis, a theoretical model has been developed to accurately predict the CHF in pool boiling on a heater substrate. An analytical expression for the CHF of a heater substrate is obtained in terms of the surface thermophysical property. It is indicated that the ratio of thermal conductivity (k) to the product of density (ρ) and specific heat (c_p) is an essential substrate property that influences the CHF. By modifying the well-known force-balance-based CHF model (Kandlikar model), the thermal characteristics of the substrate are taken into consideration. The bias of predicted CHF values are within 5% compared with the experimental results.     

Generation of acoustic waves by power microwave pulses with the use of thin metal films

We study the features of excitation of acoustic waves by high-power microwave pulses in thin metal films bordering on liquid. Aluminum films with thicknesses 1–10 nm deposited onto a quartz substrate were used in experiments. It is shown theoretically that the absorption coefficient of microwaves is maximum for film thickness from 2 to 3 nm and the value of this maximum is determined by the dielectric permittivity of the bordering liquid. Theoretical calculations and experiments are performed for water and ethyl alcohol. The sound generation in a layered system quartz-aluminum film-liquid is analyzed with the help of the step-by-step approach. At the first step, microwave energy is absorbed in the film and heat is released. Then heat almost instantly diffuses into a liquid whose thermal expansion creates an acoustic signal. Profiles of acoustic signals excited in aluminum films by microwave pulses with a 5-ns duration and an energy of up to 1 mJ are experimentally detected. The most efficient transduction was observed for an aluminum film 3.5 nm thick.     

Heat transfer in locally heated liquid films moving under the action of gravity and gas flow

Heat transfer in a viscous liquid film moving under the action of gravity and a gas flow on a substrate with a locally heated rectangular area is investigated. The heat exchange coefficient is given on the liquid-gas surface; the heat flux to the liquid is given on the heated area; the substrate surface outside the heated area is heat-insulated. An analytical solution in a form of a convergent series is obtained for the liquid temperature distribution in the film. The influence of the dimensionless criteria on the obtained solution is analyzed. The effect of heat flux inhomogeneity on the temperature distribution is considered.     

Modelling of the plasma-substrate interaction and prediction of substrate temperature during the plasma heating

Temperature of the substrate during plasma heating and spraying plays an important role on quality of the substrate and coating. In this study a three dimensional numerical model is developed to simulate the Ar-N₂ plasma jet and conjugate heat transfer between plasma and substrate. The influencing of operating parameters on thermal flux from the plasma to the substrate and substrate temperature are discussed. Transient simulations are carried out to predict the substrate temperature with heating time. The arc current, gas flow rate, stand-off distance, substrate material and environment around the substrate significantly affect the thermal flux to the substrate. Heat flux to the substrate cannot be neglected in the coating built-up models. Present model is validated by comparing the results of present model with previous predictions and measurements.     

Effects of corotron size and parameters on the dielectric substrate surface charge

Effects of variation of parameters of a corona device (corotron) used in electro-photographic machines on the amount of surface charge build-up on the surface of dielectric substrate were studied. Particular attention was given to the effect of corotron dimension including wire–shields and wire–plate distances, substrate thickness, shields insulation and the substrate speed on the amount of substrate surface charge. The computational analyses were performed for a two-dimensional cross-section of the corotron under steady-state condition. The Maxwell equations were solved and the electrical quantities in a rectangular positive single wire corotron were evaluated. The simulation results showed that for a fixed wire voltage, the corotron size, the substrate thickness, insulation of shields and the substrate speed will affect the distributions of electrical quantities in the corotron. The wire–substrate distance and the substrate speed, however, were found to be the main parameters that control the amount of surface charge build-up on the substrate.     

Boron carbide coating deposition on tungsten and testing of tungsten layers and coating under intense plasma load

A device intended for boron carbide coating deposition and material testing under high heat loads is presented. A boron carbide coating 5 μm thick was deposited on the tungsten substrate. These samples were subjected to thermocycling loads in the temperature range of 400–1500°C. Tungsten layers deposited on tungsten substrates were tested in similar conditions. Results of the surface analysis are presented.     

Heat flux density in the region of droplet contact line on a horizontal surface of a thin heated foil

The evaporating water droplets on a horizontal heated substrate were experimentally studied. The constantan foil 25 μm thick with a size of 42×35 mm² was used as a substrate. The experiments were carried out with a single droplet or with an ensemble of two or three droplets on the foil. The temperature of the lower surface of foil was measured by an IR scanner. To determine the heat flux density at evaporation of liquid near the contact line, the Cauchy problem for the heat conduction equation was solved using the thermographic data. The results of calculations showed that the maximal heat flux density takes place in the region of the contact line and exceeds the average heat flux density from the entire surface of foil. This is explained by the heat inflow from the foil periphery to the droplet due to relatively high value of the coefficient of heat conductivity of the foil material and high evaporation intensity in the contact line region.     

An analytical model for thermal diffusivity measurements of film substrate composite using the mirage technique

The thermal diffusivity h of a thin film on a substrate is measured by using the mirage technique. The photothermal deflection of the probe beam is caused by the heat field and the substrate, heated by the pump beam. From the experimental data a two-dimensional algorithm is proposed to obtain the measurements of the diffusivity of film and substrate in one set of mirage detection.     

Heat transfer and diffusion-controlled kinetics of liquid–solid phase in titanium matrix composite during selective laser melting

This study describes a self-consistent theoretical model of simulating diffusion-controlled kinetics on the liquid–solid phase boundary during high-speed solidification in the melt pool after the selective laser melting (SLM) process for titanium matrix composite based on Ti–TiC system. The model includes the heat transfer equation to estimate the temperature distribution in the melt pool and during crystallization process for some deposited layers. The temperature field is used in a micro region next to solid–liquid boundary, where solute micro segregation and dendrite growth are calculated by special approach based on transient liquid phase bonding. The effect of the SLM process parameters (laser power, scanning velocity, layer thickness and substrate size) on the microstructure solidification is being discussed.     

Cooling dynamics of self‐assembled monolayer coating for integrated gold nanocrystals on a glass substrate

Picosecond time‐resolved X‐ray diffraction has been used to study the nanoscale thermal transportation dynamics of bare gold nanocrystals and thiol‐based self‐assembled monolayer (SAM)‐coated integrated gold nanocrystals on a SiO₂ glass substrate. A temporal lattice expansion of 0.30–0.33% was observed in the bare and SAM‐coated nanocrystals on the glass substrate; the thermal energy inside the gold nanocrystals was transported to the contacted substrate through the gold–SiO₂ interface. The interfacial thermal conductivity between the single‐layered gold nanocrystal film and the SiO₂ substrate is estimated to be 45 MW m^?2 K^?1 from the decay of the Au 111 peak shift, which was linearly dependent on the transient temperature. For the SAM‐coated gold nanocrystals, the thermal dissipation was faster than that of the bare gold nanocrystal film. The thermal flow from the nanocrystals to the SAM‐coated molecules promotes heat dissipation from the laser‐heated SAM‐coated gold nanocrystals. The thermal transportation of the laser‐heated SAM‐coated gold nanocrystal film was analyzed using the bidirectional thermal dissipation model.     

Loss of adhesion strength of PVD Cu films on carbon substrates after heat treatment and correlated effects on the thermal interface properties

The study of coating-substrate systems consisting of a thin copper film on a flat carbon substrate is of great interest in order to get information on the interfacial behaviour of such systems. This work is focused on the mechanical adhesion strength and the correlated interfacial thermal contact resistance which are influenced by heat treatment. Using plasma-assisted pre-treatment of the carbon substrate prior to the deposition of copper coatings via physical vapor deposition (PVD), the adhesion strength between copper coatings and substrate has increased significantly, while the thermal contact resistance decreased in the as deposited state. After heat treatment at 800 °C for 1 h, considerably decreased adhesion strengths have been observed, accompanied by increased values of the thermal contact resistance.

内嵌微流道低温共烧陶瓷基板传热性能（英）

随着系统级封装（SIP）所容纳的电子元器件和集成密度迅速增加,传统的散热方法（热通孔、风冷散热等）越来越难以满足系统级封装的热管理需求。低温共烧陶瓷（LTCC）作为常见的封装基板材料之一,设计并研制了三种内嵌于LTCC基板的微流道,其中包括直排型、蛇型和螺旋型微流道（高度为0.3 mm,宽度分别为0.4, 0.5和0.8 mm）。通过数值仿真和红外热像仪测试相结合的方式分析了微流道网络结构、流体质量流量、雷诺数、材料热导率对内嵌微流道LTCC基板换热性能的影响,实验结果表明:当去离子水的流量为10 mL/min,热源等效功率为2 W/cm2时,直排型微流道的LTCC基板最高温度在3.1 kPa输入泵压差下能降低75.4 ℃,蛇型微流道的LTCC基板最高温度在85.8 kPa输入泵压差下能降低80.2 ℃,螺旋型微流道的LTCC基板最高温度在103.1 kPa输入泵压差下能降低86.7 ℃。在三种微流道中,直排型微流道具有最小的雷诺数,在相同的输入泵压差下有最好的散热性能。窄的直排型微流道（0.4 mm）在相同的流道排布密度和流体流量时比宽的微流道（0.8 mm）能多降低基板温度10 ℃。此外,提高封装材料的热导率有助于提高微流道的换热性能。     

Control of nanoparticle size and amount by using the mesh grid and applying DC-bias to the substrate in silane ICP-CVD process

The effect of applying a bias to the substrate on the size and amount of charged crystalline silicon nanoparticles deposited on the substrate was investigated in the inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition process. By inserting the grounded grid with meshes above the substrate, the region just above the substrate was separated from the plasma. Thereby, crystalline Si nanoparticles formed by the gas-phase reaction in the plasma could be deposited directly on the substrate, successfully avoiding the formation of a film. Moreover, the size and the amount of deposited nanoparticles could be changed by applying direct current bias to the substrate. When the grid of 1 × 1-mm-sized mesh was used, the nanoparticle flux was increased as the negative substrate bias increased from 0 to – 50 V. On the other hand, when a positive bias was applied to the substrate, Si nanoparticles were not deposited at all. Regardless of substrate bias voltages, the most frequently observed nanoparticles synthesized with the grid of 1 × 1-mm-sized mesh had the size range of 10–12 nm in common. When the square mesh grid of 2-mm size was used, as the substrate bias was increased from – 50 to 50 V, the size of the nanoparticles observed most frequently increased from the range of 8–10 to 40–45 nm but the amount that was deposited on the substrate decreased.     

Thermal effects on laser-ablated particle velocities from thin film targets

The thermal history of the target surface on the plume dynamics was studied by high-speed streak photography. A thin aluminum layer was deposited on a thick substrate material. By choosing substrate materials with different thermal conductivity, it is possible to control the heat flux inside the target material, which in turn controls the particle ejection process. In all the experimental conditions tested, the plume was found to have two different velocity clouds. By a series of experiments with different substrate materials, their velocities were shown to depend on the substrate material. The heat conduction equation was solved to simulate the temperature history of the target materials. The result was discussed with those from streak photography and burn patterns, showing an appreciable dependence on the heat conductivity of the material.     

Diamond-to-graphite conversion in nanodiamond and the electronic properties of nanodiamond-derived carbon system

Heat-treatment-induced conversion of nanodiamond to nanographite is investigated. Graphitization starts at the surface region around a heat-treatment temperature of 900°C, then it proceeds inward in the particle, and finally it is completed around 1600°C, where nanographite particles form a polyhedron with a hollow inside. The change in the electronic feature is subjected to the structural change induced by the heat treatment. In the intermediate stage of graphitization, where graphene sheets are small and defective, charge transfer takes place from graphitic π-band to nonbonding edge states. Electrophoretic deposition of nanodiamond particles provides a technique for fabricating isolated single nanodiamond particles on a substrate. Successive heat treatment at 1600°C converts a nanodiamond particle to a single nanographene sheet laying flat on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate. Weak interaction between the nanographene sheet and the substrate is expected to give a model system of nanographene, for which theory predicts the presence of nonbonding \gv-electron states of the edge origin and its related unconventional nanomagnetism.
