Electrical instruments based thermal conductivity optimization on sintering of nanocomposites of Al and TiB with and without fly ash

In the pursuit of enhancing thermal characteristics tailored for electrical instrument parts operating in high-temperature environments, a meticulous process of composite preparation unfolds. These composites undergo varying volume percentages of formulation via sintering, adjusting critical parameters including compaction pressure (ranging from 200 MPa to 400 MPa), sintering temperature (varying from 500°C to 600°C), and sintering duration (ranging between 60 min and 180 min). Subsequent measurement of thermal conductivity elucidates the material’s heat transfer capabilities, guiding the optimization of operational parameters. Notably, composites containing fly ash exhibit diminished thermal conductivity compared to their counterparts sans fly ash. However, a distinctive superiority emerges within the composite incorporating fly ash when subjected to a compaction pressure of 400 MPa, sintering temperature of 600 °C, and a sintering duration of 60 min, showcasing a notable enhancement in thermal conductivity, thereby underscoring the intricate interplay between formulation parameters and material properties in the quest for optimal performance in high-temperature environments.
