Method for inflating micro-channels

A method for inflating a micro-channel, comprising steps of:

• Step (1) determining a quantitative relationship among titanium hydride content-temperature-hydrogen pressure and a relationship between a target pore size of the micro-channel and an amount of hydrogen released from decomposition of titanium hydride and a heating temperature;
• Step (2) engraving micro/nano grooves on a surface of an ultra-thin metal strip by a micro/nano scratcher, and performing surface cleaning treatment;
• Step (3) determining an amount of titanium hydride according to the quantitative relationship among titanium hydride content-temperature-hydrogen pressure and the relationship between the target pore size of the micro-channel and the amount of hydrogen released from decomposition of titanium hydride and the heating temperature determined in step (1), and the titanium hydride is placed in the micro/nano groove of the metal strip after the surface cleaning treatment in step (2);
• Step (4) covering another ultra-thin metal strip with identical size and identical surface cleaning treatment in step (2) on the ultra-thin metal strip in step (3), welding the edges of the two ultra-thin metal strips together by spot welding technology, and performing bond rolling;
• Step (5) heating the metal composite ultra-thin strip after bond rolling in step (4) under vacuum conditions, and keeping temperature to decompose the titanium hydride to release hydrogen, and by hydrogen pressure, plastic deformation occurs at the composite interface of the bond-rolled metal composite ultra-thin strip, and a tubular micro-channel structure is formed along the micro/nano groove engraved in step (2);
• Step (6) cutting the tubular micro-channel structure generated in step (5) at an appropriate position to obtain a tubular micro-channel product;
