Exploration of Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing for Automotive Heat Sink Component Fabrication

Research output: Other contributionTechnical Report

Abstract

ORNL (Contractor) and Magna Services of America Inc. (Participant) collaborated to determine the feasibility of binder jet additive manufacturing (BJAM) for the fabrication of copper components for automotive heat sink applications. This Phase 1 collaboration focused on printing copper heat sinks that rely on capillary effect to move fluids rather than mechanical pumps in electric vehicles to extend the battery range and life. Partial sintering of copper powders deposited via BJAM was hypothesized to aid capillary effect to improve the heat transfer. Further, BJAM offers the potential for scalability at a production level.
