In this study, multiphase Mn3Zn1-xSnxN (MnZnSnN) materials were used to inhibit the positive thermal expansion of AlSi, resulting in the development of a composite material mMnZnSnN/AlSi with near-zero thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity. The composite material exhibited near-zero thermal expansion in a wide temperature range, along with high thermal conductivity and high mechanical properties.
Lightweight materials with near-zero thermal expansion (NZTE) and high thermal conductivity have potential applications in precision instruments, aerospace industry and electronic packaging due to their high thermal stability. In this study, multiphase Mn3Zn1-xSnxN (MnZnSnN) with abnormal negative thermal expansion (NTE) were used to inhibit the positive thermal expansion of AlSi. The resulting composites multiphase-MnZnSnN/AlSi (mMnZnSnN/AlSi) achieved NZTE (0.40 x 10-6 degrees C-1) in a wide temperature range (-5-60 degrees C, Delta T = 65 degrees C). Compared with other NZTE materials, mMnZnSnN/AlSi exhibits high thermal conductivity of 60 W & sdot;m-1 & sdot;K-1 and high bending strength of 211 MPa. The density of the composite is only 4.46 g/cm3, 45% lower than invar alloy. This work provides guidance for designing and fabrication of aluminum matrix materials with combined advantages of wide temperature range zero thermal expansion behavior, high thermal conductivity and high mechanical properties.
