Popis: As the additive manufacturing provides an advanced method for fabricating polymeric composite components in thermal engineering applications, the thermal contact conductance (TCC) between the contact composites can become an important problem. In order to understand the interfacial heat transfer mechanism between thermoplastic composites, TCC between additively manufactured carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 12 (CF/PA12) composites was experimentally studied with steady-state measurements in this work. By considering the material surface microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties, the effects of interface temperature, contact pressure, surface morphology, carbon fiber (CF) content and orientation in composites on TCC were analyzed. The results show that the TCC is dependent on the actual contact area and the thermal conduction path inside the material. In general, high surface roughness decreases the TCC because of the reduction of contact area; while it is the opposite of temperature and pressure. The CF distribution affects the internal thermal conduction path and surface roughness, leading to the variations in TCC.
