First, we want to thank <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/zwebenconsulting\/\">Dr. Carl Zweben <\/a>for his time and knowledge in sharing on this important topic.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are a few new, cutting edge, facts you should know on advanced materials?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many engineers only know two materials: copper and aluminum but there are many other choices that should also be part of your solution set<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>There are three basic types of Advanced Thermal Management Materials:\n<ul>\n<li>Monolithic carbonaceous materials<\/li>\n<li>Composite materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Metal\/metal alloys-composites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Some Advanced Thermal Management materials are cheaper than copper: Al\/SiC has a type that is more efficient than copper and less expensive; Some Al\/SiC are 1\/3 the weight and 10x the thermal conductivity of &#8220;Kovar&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Curtiss-Wright CoolWall Technology utilizes a mixture of CoolWall utilizes a mixture of metallic composites to deliver enhanced thermal performance. It has the thermal conductivity ~ 3x aluminum at ~10% less weight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Advance reinforcement thermal interface material (TIM) have the greatest potential to improving the thermal resistance of TIM. Some types include TIM based on: Carbon nan0fiber, Carbon nanotubes, and Natural graphite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Natural graphite heat spreaders can be made super thin for notebook computer, tablets and other devices of similar geometries.The Sony VAIO PCG-X505\/S-P Extreme utilizes the Natural Graphite Spreadershield for such an application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Advanced Materials can be cost effective if your only other alternative is costly already, though more &#8220;mainstream&#8221;. A good example is the Apple Power Mac G5. The liquid cooling costs $100 plus labor alone.Could an advanced material have done the job as reliably at cost par while removing the risk of using liquid?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s much more in the presentation and we&#8217;ll have it loaded onto our <a href=\"http:\/\/qats.com\/Training\/Webinar-Archive\/56.aspx\">ATS thermal management webinar archives<\/a> for you this week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a great group for our thermal webinar, &#8220;Heat Sink Materials: Choices and Tradeoffs&#8221; we just held on Thursday3\/24.
