Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for treating a Cu thin sheet is provided. The method comprises the steps of: supplying a slurry in which a diffusion bonding aid (DBA), such as Ni powder, and a reinforcing material (RM), such as a carbide base metal compound, are dispersed in a solvent to a predetermined portion on a Cu or Cu base alloy thin sheet, drying the supplied slurry, and applying a laser to induce melting, solidification, and fixation, so as to form a buildup layer. In the method, the weight ratio of DBA to RM is specified to be 80:20 to 50:50, and the median diameters D 50 of both DBA and RM employed fall within 0.1 to 100 μm, the median diameter D 50 of DBA is larger than the median diameter D 50 of RM, and both the distribution ratio D 90 /D 10 of DBA and the distribution ratio D 90 /D 10 of RM are 4.0 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a Cu thin sheet, comprising the steps of: supplying a slurry in which a diffusion bonding aid and a reinforcing material are dispersed in a solvent to a predetermined portion on a Cu or Cu base alloy thin sheet, drying the supplied slurry, and applying a laser to induce melting, solidification, and fixation, so as to form a buildup layer, wherein (a) a Ni or Ni—Cr alloy powder is used as the diffusion bonding aid, (b) a carbide base metal compound, a nitride base metal compound, or a boride base metal compound is used as the reinforcing material, and the weight ratio of the diffusion bonding aid to the reinforcing material is specified to be 80:20 to 50:50, and (c) the median diameters D 50 of both the diffusion bonding aid and the reinforcing material fall within 0.1 to 100 μm, the median diameter D 50 of the diffusion bonding aid is larger than the median diameter D 50 of the reinforcing material, the distribution ratio D 90 /D 10 of the diffusion bonding aid is 1.8 or less, and the distribution ratio D 90 /D 10 of the reinforcing material is 4.0 or less. 2. The method for treating a Cu thin sheet, according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined portion is less than the total area of the thin sheet.
