Strengthening of 3D printed Cu micropillar in Cu-Ni core-shell structure
Materials & Design(2023)
摘要
Direct printing of complex 3D structures at the nano-and microscale is a promising technique for MEMS devices, small-scale sensors, and actuators. So far, most studies have been focused on printing copper (Cu) structures due to the high Coulombic efficiency compared to other conductive metals such as plat-inum. However, Cu suffers from low material strength, low modulus, and high strain-rate sensitivity. This work introduces a unique Cu-Ni core-shell structure for improved strength. A 3D additive-micromanufacturing technique based on localized electrodeposition was utilized to fabricate dog -bone-shaped Cu micropillars with submicron resolution. These pillars were subsequently coated with Ni by pulse-reverse electrodeposition. A combination of in-situ micropillar compression at various strain rates (0.001-500 s-1) and finite element simulations revealed remarkable strengthening in the Ni-coated Cu micropillar. Data obtained from both experiments and simulations were in good agreement, suggest-ing the strengthening was dominated by interface characteristics, stress redistribution, and geometrical effects. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that shape and dimension of the 3D-printed objects can be retained while increasing their strength drastically. These findings can be extended to other material sys-tems and provide a pathway to develop strong and tough composites and metamaterials at multiple length scales for future applications.(c) 2023 The Author(s).
