"Micro rolling fabrication of copper/SS304L micro composite channels" by Mengyuan Ren, Fei Lin et al.
Fabrication of micro channels is an important aspect in the development of microfluidic devices, such as microreactors, micro heat exchangers, micro heat sinks and fuel cell bipolar plates. An ultra-thin metal foil rolling for the fabrication of micro composite channels was first proposed in this study, which is able to improve product function and reduce operational cost. Copper/SS304L composite foils with the thickness of 0.3 mm for copper and 0.1 mm for SS304L after annealing at 900 °C were used to form micro channels under different rolling reductions (0.10–0.25 mm) and velocities (7.07...
