The sintering process for sintered wick is important for its quality. The sintering process was optimally designed based on the equation of the heat transfer limit of sintered heat pipe. Four-step sintering process was proposed to fabricate sintered wick. The sintering parameters including sintering temperature, sintering time, sintering atmosphere and sintering position were discussed. The experimental results showed that the proper sintering temperature was 950 ℃ for Cu powder of 159μm and 900 ℃ for Cu powders of 81 and 38 μm, respectively, while the wick thickness was 0.45 mm and sintering time was 3 h. The optimized sintering time was 3 h for 0.45 and 0.6 mm wick thickness and 1 h for 0.75 mm wick thickness, respectively, when copper powder diameter was 159μm and sintering temperature was 950 ℃. Redox reduction reaction between H2 and CuO during sintering could produce segmentation cracks in Cu powders as a second structure. Sintering at vertical position can effectively avoid the generation of gap between wick and the inner wall of pipe.展开更多

The results showed that under the standard curing temperature (20℃), most crystalline ettringite grows in pores, which makes less contribution to the expansion of paste than gelatinous ettringite blended with C-S-H gel. An elevated curing temperature (40℃) promotes the hydration rate of expansive agent and cement. However, quickly developing strength of paste limits its expansion. The pore structure of hardened paste under moderate curing condition is the densest one among all the pastes cured at different temperatures due to the filling effect of crystalline and gelatinous ettringite. Under a high curing temperature (60℃), the formation of massive stick-like ettringite leads to excessive expansion at early hydration age. Some ettringite decomposes at sustainable high temperature, which decreases the restricted expansion rate of paste at a late age. Appropriate volume expansion is benefit to the improvement of pore structure of hardened paste by reducing large pores.展开更多
