The present invention is a process for producing a radiator member for
electronic appliances, and is characterized in that, in a process for
producing a radiator member for electronic appliances, the radiator
member comprising a composite material in which SiC particles are
dispersed in a matrix metal whose major component is Al, it comprises a
filling step of filling an SiC powder into a mold, a pre-heating step of
pre-heating the mold after the filling step to a pre-heating temperature
which falls in a range of from a melting point or more of said matrix
metal to less than a reaction initiation temperature at which a molten
metal of the matrix metal and SiC particles in the SiC powder start to
react, and a pouring step of pouring the molten matrix metal whose
molten-metal temperature falls in a range of from the melting point or
more of the matrix metal to less than the reaction initiation
temperature, into the mold after the pre-heating step, and impregnating
the SiC powder with the molten metal by pressurizing.When the
molten-metal temperature and the pre-heating temperature are from the
melting point or more of the matrix metal to less than the reaction
initiator temperature, it is possible to inhibit the generation of low
thermal conductive materials while securing the impregnation of the
molten metal into the SiC powder.
