Microstructure and Thermal Conductivity of Sintered Reaction-Bonded Silicon Nitride: The Particle Size Effects of MgO Additive by Shin-Il Go, Yinsheng Li, Jae-Woong Ko, Ha-Neul Kim, Se-Hun Kwon, Hai-Doo Kim, Young-Jo Park

“…It was revealed that the size of MgO is critical for thermal conductivity with regard to the microstructural evolution process. That is, the abnormal grain growth promoted by an inhomogeneous liquid-phase distribution led to higher thermal conductivity when coarser MgO was added, whereas a relatively homogeneous liquid-phase distribution induced moderate grain growth and lower thermal conductivity when finer MgO was added.…”

The Influence of temperature on the microstructure and properties of Cu/Al tube joints in magnetic pulse-assisted semi-solid brazing by Zhenglei Rui, Shangyu Huang, Huajun Wang, Zhenghua Meng

“…The research reveals that brazing temperature serves as the critical parameter governing the elemental diffusion and microstructural evolution in the joint. As the temperature increases from 390 °C to 440 °C, the viscosity coefficient of the filler metal decreases significantly from 41.6Pa·s to 1.798Pa·s, resulting in enhanced fluidity that promotes interfacial interactions between the tubes and filler metal and effectively removes surface oxide films, thus improving joint quality. …”
