"Evolutions of microstructure and mechanical properties of copper/SS304" by Mengyuan Ren, Haibo Xie et al.
Manufacturing metallic micro channels is a critical issue in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), such as micro reactors, 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 proposed in this study, which is able to improve product functions and reduce operational costs. Copper/SS304L composite foils after annealing at 900 °C were used to form micro channels under different rolling reductions (29.1%, 43.8% and 50.0%), in which the thickness of copper and SS304L are 0.3 mm and 0.1 mm, resp...
