  • Cooling rate limitations in the diffusion bonding of large microchannel arrays

    Creator:
    Lingam, Gopi K.
    Abstract:
    A significant barrier to the diffusion bonding of large (i.e. 600 mm) microchannel devices is the large capital investment required to setup production. This large capital investment extends from long heating and cooling cycles leading to poor production capacities. Empirical studies in industry have shown that cooling rate is limited...

  • Development of a radial microlamination architecture for cylindrical microchannel arrays

    Creator:
    Vlieg, James H.
    Abstract:
    Microchannel arrays are being developed across a wide spectrum of microfluidic applications including blood processing, fuel cells and thermal management among many others. Typical arrays are based on a flat laminated architecture produced in a vacuum hot press (VHP) through solid-state diffusion bonding. Due to the cylindrical nature of certain...

  • Nickel nanoparticles-assisted diffusion brazing of stainless steel 316 for microfluidic applications

    Creator:
    Tiwari, Santosh K.
    Abstract:
    Transient liquid-phase diffusion brazing is used in precision, hermetic joining applications as a replacement for diffusion bonding to reduce cycle times, reduce bonding pressure and improve yields. Studies showed that the interlayer used in diffusion brazing can be detrimental due to the use of melting point depressants (MPDs). The goal...
