Abstract
Carbon-based thin film tool coatings, such as diamond-like carbon (DLC), have excellent lowfriction and anti-sticking properties. These thin films are widely used for the cutting and machining of increasingly widely-used lightweight non-metallic and non-ferrous metal materials, as a part of countermeasures against global warming. However, non-metallic and non-ferrous metal materials..... More

Abstract
The thermal properties of two-layered materials composed of a polymer layer embedded with dielectric AlN particles (AlN composite) coated on top of an aluminum (Al) substrate were investigated by light flash analysis (LFA). The thermal conductivity of the specimens was measured as a function of the AlN composite volume fraction..... More
