The integration of 2D (nano)materials with a metallic matrix enhances thermal and electrical conductivity while improving mechanical strength and stability on larger scales. This combination of properties has drawn increasing attention to 2DMMCs. Graphene and boron nitride are commonly incorporated into copper matrices to enhance thermal and electrical conductivity.
In this study, Cold Spray is proposed as a technique for depositing Gr-Cu 2D metal matrix composites (2DMMCs), focusing on preserving component integrity while achieving desirable properties. The study examines how process parameters influence deposit characteristics, with depositions performed using optimized mid- and high-pressure settings. Structural and mechanical properties like porosity, hardness, adhesion, and tensile strength were evaluated.
The findings provide insights into how 2D material content affects cold spray efficiency in 2DMMCs compared to pure metallic feedstocks. They also highlight the influence of process parameters on deposit properties, aiding in identifying the optimal 2DMMC composition for achieving balanced thermo-mechanical properties.
