A heat exchanger, a manufacturing method thereof and a thermal management system are provided. The heat exchanger includes a metal substrate having a fluid channel for circulating a heat exchange medium, and a coating layer coated on at least part of a surface of the metal substrate. The coating layer includes a rare earth conversion film containing a rare earth element-containing compound, and a hydrophobic film. The rare earth conversion coating film is arranged to directly cover at least part of a surface of the metal substrate of the heat exchanger, and at least part of the hydrophobic coating layer is further away from the metal substrate than the rare earth conversion film. The heat exchanger is provided with hydrophobicity by the coating layer, which facilitates the discharge of condensed water, and improves the corrosion resistance and prolongs the service life of the heat exchanger.

The present application provides a heat exchanger and a manufacturing method of a heat exchanger. The heat exchange includes a metal substrate having a fluid channel for circulating a heat exchange medium. The heat exchanger includes a coating having a rare earth conversion coating and a hydrophilic coating. The rare earth conversion coating is arranged to cover at least part of a surface of the metal substrate, and the rare earth conversion coating includes a rare earth element-containing compound. At least part of the hydrophilic coating is further away from the metal substrate than the rare earth conversion coating. A surface of the heat exchanger is hydrophilic, which is conducive to the discharge of condensate water, and can improve corrosion resistance and prolong a service life of the heat exchanger.

There are provided a heat exchanger having a flat tube and a fin bonded together, without causing melting of a coating material covering the fin, and a method of manufacturing thereof. A heat exchanger includes: a flat tube having a flat cross-sectional shape and covered with an anticorrosive layer; and a fin bonded to the flat tube with a bonding agent on a first surface of the anticorrosive layer interposed therebetween, and covered with a coating material, the first surface of the anticorrosive layer having been roughened, and the bonding agent being fixed to the roughened first surface.

Composite ceramic materials are disclosed in which an interconnected network of ceramic material on a substrate contains pores with an accessible pore volume that is at least partially filled with a polymer, resin, and/or wax.

Surface modifications and coating materials are provided that may be applied to a substrate to reduce or eliminate damage that would accrue to do environmental effects or operational stress when incorporated into a device such as a heat exchanger. Structured ceramic surface modification materials may be incorporated into the surface modification and may optionally include a gradient in one or more physical or chemical property.

Assemblies of stacked layers of materials are described. The assemblies include functional and structural layers. Functional layers include binderless ceramic materials on woven or non-woven substrates of natural, synthetic, or metallic materials. The layers of functional and structural materials may be configured to transport moisture or heat from an inner surface to an outer surface that is exposed to an ambient environment.

A heat pipe includes a container including a container substrate and a working fluid enclosed in the container. The working fluid contains water. The heat pipe includes a first film containing tin and/or a tin alloy on at least an inner surface of the container substrate and a second film formed on at least a part of a surface of the first film and containing an oxide and/or hydroxide containing tin.
