Abstract
A process for building a high-performance liquid flow-through plate is provided and includes providing a substrate formed of metal matrix composite (MMC) material, metallizing a surface of the substrate to reform the surface into a metallized surface, placing a braze foil on the metallized surface and executing a high-temperature and high-pressure bake whereby material of the braze foil diffuses into the metallized surface.
Claims6
A high-performance liquid flow-through plate, comprising:
- a first substrate having a trench formed therein and being formed of metal matrix composite (MMC) material, the first substrate comprising a first metallized surface;
- a conductor disposed in the trench, a fin disposed on the conductor and a braze foil disposed on a portion of the first metallized surface and the fin;
- a second substrate formed of MMC material and comprising a second metallized surface;
- a transient liquid-phase bond formed between the braze foil and the portion of the first metallized surface and between the braze foil and a corresponding portion of the second metallized surface;
- and
- braze bonds formed at the trench by the fin using the braze foil and the conductor.
