Thereby, the process temperature of Ag sintering for the die bonding should be low to prevent damage to fragile dies. Herein, an organic-free strategy using Ag nanostructures derived from the thermal decomposition of metal–organic decomposition (MOD) was proposed to achieve low-temperature bonding. Significant effects on bonding performance were determined by the thermal decomposition temperature, which in turn determined the organic content and sintering degree of Ag nanostructures. At a low thermal decomposition temperature of 160 °C, incomplete decomposition resulted in high organic content in the Ag nanostructures, causing large pores inside the Ag joints owing to the generation of gaseous products. Owing to the Ag particles with naked surfaces and wide size distribution, the Ag nanostructure obtained at 180 °C showed an excellent bonding performance, resulting in a high shear strength of 31.1 MPa at a low bonding temperature of 160 °C. As the thermal decomposition temperature was 200 °C, sintering among Ag particles increased the particle size, resulting in a reduction of surface energy and driving force for sintering. We think that uncovering this underlying mechanism responsible for the bonding performance will promote the application of Ag MOD in the die bonding of WBG power devices.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"59 40","pages":"19038 - 19056"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10853-024-10250-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142518543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated Inconel 686 component across different sections, such as bottom, middle, and top, were explored, and the influence of cryogenic treatments, such as shallow and deep, on the properties of the fabricated specimens was examined. The optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed differences in microstructure across various regions of the deposited metal. The bottom region showed a columnar structure, the intermediate region displayed a combination of cellular structures, and the top layer featured an equiaxed structure. These variations contribute to heterogeneity and anisotropy in the mechanical characteristics. Moreover, the microstructure of the deep cryogenic treatment (DCT)-treated samples exhibited a finer grain structure in contrast to both the as-built and shallow cryogenic treatment (SCT)-treated WA-DED samples attributed to grain refinement. X-ray diffraction analysis observed that applying DCT decreased grain size, with the average grain size of the DCT-treated sample measuring 22.81 nm, while concurrently increasing the dislocation density to 19.22 × 10^–4 nm^–2. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy point analysis, elemental mapping, and line mapping were conducted to study the microsegregation and spatial distribution of alloying elements in the grain boundaries and interdendritic regions. Results indicated intensified segregation tendencies of alloying elements molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) with increasing deposited height, peaking in the lowermost region. However, DCT samples exhibit reduced elemental segregation compared to as-built and SCT samples. The tensile strength and microhardness showed substantial differences across various areas. Cryogenic treatments considerably improved the mechanical properties of WA-DED specimens compared to their as-built state. As a result, the tensile strength improved by 7.23%, and the hardness strength increased by 8.98%.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science","volume":"59 40","pages":"19273 - 19302"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142518544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

O-BC with a high aspect ratio can interweave with each other to form continuous layers, while MXene can induce a regular and flat structure and provide good conductivity. The silanization modification ensures high hydrophobicity and high elasticity, which can prevent the aerogel from structural collapse by avoiding adhesion among lamellae. The resulting aerogel can withstand compressive strain high up to 90% and long-term compression for 10,000 cycles at 50% strain due to the elastic and hydrophobic lamellar structure. It also offers a precise electrical response to stress signals in a broad detection range of 0–40 kPa and can accurately detect biological signals from humans.

It was found that both the polysiloxane structures formed by APTES and LAP interacted with CMC. Their dual protection of CMC makes the dense network structure still exist in aqueous solution after aging at 150°C. It is very important to maintain the normal rheological properties of drilling fluid. CMC-LAP has great effect as rheological modifier of drilling fluid.
