(embodiment)
Then, with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 5 ~ Fig. 8 in order to confirm that the mensuration of heat dispersion that effect of the present invention is carried out and the mensuration of mechanical strength are described.Wherein, unless otherwise specified, " thickness " or " thickness of slab " refers to mean value.
The casing 2 of the above-mentioned execution mode shown in Fig. 3 is used in the present embodiment.Specifically, as embodiment 1 ~ 4, prepare clad material, this clad material possesses the Cu layer 21 be made up of Cu, the Al layer be made up of the A5052 in Al-Mg alloy 22 and 23, and Al layer 22, Cu layer 21 and Al layer 23 lamination successively.Now, in embodiment 1 ~ 4, the thickness t1 (=t2+t3+t4, total thickness of slab) of flat clad material (casing 2) is 0.2mm, and the thickness t3 of Al layer 22 is identical with the thickness t4 of Al layer 23.And, flat clad material is formed as the length direction (X-direction) shown in Fig. 5 and there is the length L1 of 100mm and Width (Y-direction) has the roughly rectangular shape of the length L2 of 50mm, thus, the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4 is made.
At this, as shown in Figure 6, in embodiment 1 ~ 4, the ratio (t3:t2:t4) of the thickness of the Al layer 22 of formation casing 2, Cu layer 21 and Al layer 23 is made to be respectively 1:2:1,1:1:1,2:1:2 and 4.5:1:4.5.That is, the thickness t2 of Cu layer 21 is made to be respectively 50%, 33%, 20% and 10% relative to the ratio (Cu ratio) of the thickness t1 of casing 2.In addition, the aggregate thickness of Al layer 22 and Al layer 23 (=t3+t4) is made to be respectively 50%, 67%, 80% and 90% relative to the ratio (Al ratio) of the thickness t1 of casing 2.
In addition, as comparative example 1, use the flat sheet material be made up of Cu monomer with 0.2mm thickness.In addition, as comparative example 2, use the flat sheet material be made up of A5052 monomer with 0.2mm thickness.Wherein, comparative example 1 is the same with the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4 with the sheet material of 2, is formed as the roughly rectangular shape that length direction has the length L1 of 100mm, Width has the length L2 of 50mm.
In addition, use proportion and the coefficient of heat conduction of comparative example 1 and 2 (Cu and A5052), obtain proportion and the coefficient of heat conduction of the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4 according to the thickness ratio of Cu layer 21, Al layer 22 and Al layer 23 respectively.
(heat dispersion)
In the evaluation of heat dispersion, for the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4 and the sheet material of comparative example 1 and 2, observe Temperature Distribution when being configured with heat releasing source in its surface.Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the radiator 31a corresponding with CPU31 (with reference to Fig. 2) of the heat releasing source as present embodiment is attached on the lower surface of Z2 side of casing 2 and sheet material.This radiator 31a has the length L3 of 10mm in the x-direction and the z-direction.
Then, radiator 31a heats by the electric power by supplying 1W to radiator 31a.Then, infra-red thermal imaging device is used to observe the Temperature Distribution of the casing 2 after 5 points and sheet material from top (Z1 side).Then, the temperature at the position that temperature is the highest in casing 2 and sheet material is measured, using this measured value as maximum temperature.
As the result of the heat dispersion shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, in the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4, along with Cu ratio increases (reduction of Al ratio), maximum temperature reduces.Can this is presumably because that the ratio increase of the Cu (390W/ (m × K)) that the coefficient of heat conduction is high makes the heat dispersion of casing 2 improve, result, maximum temperature reduces.
Particularly be greater than in the embodiment 1 (50%) of 40% at Cu ratio, maximum temperature is 43.8 DEG C, also lower than 44 DEG C.Thus, can confirm that the casing 2 of embodiment 1 can improve heat dispersion effectively.In addition, the curve chart according to Fig. 7 can confirm, when Cu ratio is greater than 40%, maximum temperature can be made to be less than 44.5 DEG C, fully can improve heat dispersion.
In addition, in the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4, along with Cu ratio increases (reduction of Al ratio), the coefficient of heat conduction increases, and also can confirm thus, by increasing Cu ratio, fully can improve heat dispersion.
(proportion)
Proportion according to Fig. 6 and Fig. 8, in the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4, reduces along with Cu ratio reduces (increase of Al ratio) proportion.Particularly also little than 5 at embodiment 2 (33%), 3 (20%) and 4 (10%) the middle confirmation proportion of Cu ratio below 40%.Can confirm that the casing 2 of embodiment 2 ~ 4 can realize lightweight effectively thus.In addition, the curve chart according to Fig. 8 can confirm, proportion can be made to be less than 5, can realize lightweight fully (Al ratio is more than 60%) at Cu ratio below 40%.
(mechanical strength)
In addition, in order to evaluate mechanical strength, stress deformation curve chart being measured to the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4 and the sheet material of comparative example 1 and 2, obtains the stress (0.2% yield strength) during the permanent deformation of generation 0.2%.
As the result shown in Fig. 6, in the casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4, along with Cu ratio reduces (increase of Al ratio), 0.2% yield strength increases.The cause that the Cu of the 0.2% yield strength ratio formation Cu layer 21 of the A5052 forming Al layer 22 and 23 is large can be thised is presumably because.In addition, when the thickness of thinning casing 2 makes it reach more than 0.1mm below 0.3mm, 0.2% yield strength of casing 2 is more than 200MPa, can guarantee the sufficient mechanical strength as casing, thus preferably.Even if can think that the thickness of casing 2 of embodiment 1 ~ 4 is thinning thus to reach more than 0.1mm below 0.3mm, also sufficient mechanical strength can be guaranteed.
Evaluation according to above-mentioned heat dispersion, proportion and mechanical strength can judge, along with Cu ratio increases, heat dispersion improves, and proportion increases on the other hand.In addition, by using the Cu layer be made up of Cu and a pair Al layer be made up of the Al-Mg alloy (A5052) of more than 200MPa, mechanical strength can be made to reach more than 200MPa.Wherein, when paying attention to high heat dispersion, by making Cu ratio be greater than 40%, the heat dispersion of casing can fully be improved; In the light-weighted situation of attention, by making Al ratio be more than 60%, fully can realize the lightweight of casing.And then can think: Cu ratio is any one performance that the casing of 40% (Al ratio is 60%) or the ratio near it fully can meet high heat dispersion, low-gravity and high mechanical properties.
