The Microstructure and Thermal Conductivity of Pressureless Infiltrated SiCp/Al Composites Containing Electroless Nickel Platings

A nickel (Ni) coating was deposited on the surface of silicon carbide particles (SiCp) through electroless plating and we characterized the morphology and phase structure of the coating and the pressureless infiltrated SiCp/Al composites. The effect of Ni coatings on the thermal conductivity of the...
