Description
Summary:Selective laser melting (SLM) is a promising technology for fabricating complex components with W/Cu dual metal. To enhance the interfacial bonding of W/Cu dual metal, we propose a novel approach using laser texturing to fabricate micro/nanostructures on the W surface. The micro/nanostructures promoted the spreading of Cu in the liquid, inhibited defects, and considerably increased the contact area between W and Cu by mechanical interlocking. To the best of our knowledge, a W/Cu dual metal was successfully prepared by SLM without a transition layer the first time. The bonding strength of the two materials reached 123 MPa, close to that of a W/Cu dual metal joint prepared by diffusion bonding.
