Abstract:
There is provided cryogenic milled nanophase copper alloys and methods of making the alloys. The alloys are fine grained having grains in the size range from about 2 to about 100 nanometers, and greater. The nanophase alloys possess desirable physical properties stemming from the fine grain size, such as potentially high strength. Some embodiments of the cryogenic milled copper alloys may also be tailored for ductility, toughness, fracture resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and other physical properties by balancing the alloy composition. In addition, embodiments of the alloys generally do not require extensive or expensive post-cryogenic milling processing.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a refrigerant distributor for air conditioning and a refrigerant distributor manufactured thereby. The manufacturing method includes mixing copper powder with 30-60 vol % of a binder based on the volume of the copper powder, thus preparing a mixture for injection molding, subjecting the mixture to injection molding using a mold, thus producing an injection molded body having the shape of a distributor, removing the binder from the injection molded body, and sintering the binder-free molded body in a sintering furnace at 800-1150° C. in a reducible or inert atmosphere, the method being thereby favorable for mass production owing to omission of additional mechanical processing and enabling the manufacture of a distributor having a smaller size, as for adaptation for the miniaturization of an apparatus, reducing loss of material, and leading to low manufacturing costs.
