Abstract: The present invention pertains to a composite structure comprised of a matrix material, such as metal, and a plurality of cubic boron nitride particles dispersed within and surrounded by the matrix material. In a first embodiment, the composite structure is used as an electronic package to house an electrical device such as an integrated chip. The cubic boron nitride particles are dispersed within the matrix material in proportion such that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the package essentially matches that of the electronic devices. In another embodiment, the composite structure can be used as a thermal conductor, such as a heat sink. Since cubic boron nitride particles have the highest thermal conductivity of any ceramic, they act in combination with the matrix metal to transfer heat efficiently. In another embodiment, the composite structure can be used as a component subject to attrition. The cubic boron nitrides offer unexcelled wear resistance and transfer the heat efficiently.

Abstract: The present invention is a system comprising an element having a specific coefficient of thermal expansion and a metal matrix composite having a coefficient of thermal expansion which essentially matches that of the element. The composite is in contact with the element such that heat can be transferred therebetween. The composite comprises reinforcement material infiltrated with a matrix material having magnesium or a magnesium alloy. If desired, inserts may be loaded into the mold to create specific features in the resulting composite. Other inserts such as other metals, tubes or leachable cores may be used to create features inside of the magnesium composite such as metal seal rings made out of kovar or stainless steel cooling channels or substrates. Preferably, magnesium is infiltrated, assisted by pressure, into reinforcement material to form a metal matrix composite comprised of a reinforcement material infiltrated with matrix material surrounded by a pure metal skin of magnesium. These magnesium composites with hermetic skins are ideal for many applications including electronic packages for housing an electronic component because they offer lighter weight and high conductivity. The present invention is also a method which comprises the steps of forming a metal matrix composite comprised of reinforcement material filled with a matrix material having magnesium such that the composite has a specific coefficient of thermal expansion. Then, there is the step of connecting an element, such as an electronic device, having a coefficient of thermal expansion which essentially matches that of the composite to the composite.

Abstract: The present invention describes a plated component and plating method in which the plating adheres to the reinforcement particles on the surface of a composite component. This allows the component to be processed above 400.degree. C. without blistering. The plating method allows brazing, such as gold/tin and gold/germanium brazing, maintains hermeticity, and prevents corrosion over a sustained period of time. By utilizing an activator such as palladium, which can produce catalytic sites on which electroless nickel can be deposited, a component with a surface of exposed reinforcement particles can be plated to form a uniform surface without voids. It has been found that by using a combination of nickel-boron and a palladium activator, that Al/SiC composites can be plated with good adhesion when exposed to temperatures above 400.degree. C. In addition, the present invention envisions that an activator can be used with other metal/reinforcement composites to allow the surface of exposed reinforcement material to be plated along with the metal.

Abstract: A porous preform is placed within a permanent, nonporous, thin walled mold chamber. The mold chamber is disposed within a pressure vessel. A material is placed in a crucible of the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel is evacuated through a snorkel fluidically connected to the mold chamber. There is means for cooling the snorkel in thermal communication with the snorkel. The material is melted within the crucible. The crucible is placed in fluidic communication with the mold chamber such that the melted material seals the inside of the mold chamber from the pressure vessel to isolate a vacuum within the mold chamber. Finally, the vessel is pressurized at a controlled rate such that the pressure in the mold chamber is able to have time to be driven towards equilibrium with the vessel and therefore allowing differential pressure control while the mold chamber is continually evacuated such that the melted material is drawn into the mold chamber and seals the snorkel by forming a solidification plug and the melted material is forced into the porous preform.
