Thermal Conductivity Enhancement with Metallic and Ceramic Coatings for Heat Management Systems

This research examines how thermal conductivity of heat management systems can be improved through the use of metallic and ceramic coating using Additive Manufacturing through Hybrid Composite Coatings, and Materialize Magics are used to 3D print. The paper research is on a hybrid composite coating made by combining metallic and ceramic materials to enhance performance of heat transfer. The findings show that the thermal conductivity increased by 30 percent than the traditional coating. The hybrid method employs the wide control of coating thickness and material distribution and makes customized coating to be applied to a variety of heat management applications. Also, the additive manufacturing process does not cause much material waste, and the overall manufacturing cost is lower, which makes it more scalable and efficient. The results emphasize the possibility of using the new 3D printing methods, together with composite finishes in the achievement of high heat management characteristics as a promising option in achieving industrial application. Issues surrounding cost and scaling are still present but can be resolved through streamlining in the future.
