The present invention relates to a hybrid base plate and a manufacturing method therefor. Metal sheets of different materials having excellent thermal conductivity can be joined to have a thickness favorable for heat dissipation, and by arranging a metal sheet of a material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion between metal sheets with a high coefficient of thermal expansion, there is an effect of preventing warpage when manufacturing a large-area heat sink.

A bi-layer protective coating for a metal component, the bi-layer protective coating comprising a bond coating that is metallurgically fused to a substrate of the metal component, wherein the bond coating comprises one or more rare metals and a top coating that is mechanically bonded to the bond coating, wherein the top coating comprises one or more metal oxides, or one or more metal carbides.

An embodiment relates to an ultrasonic additive manufacturing process, comprising joining a foil comprising a bulk metallic glass to a substrate; and forming a cladded composite comprising the foil and the substrate; wherein a thickness of the cladded composite is greater than a critical casting thickness of the bulk metallic glass, wherein the cladded composite comprises a cladding layer of the bulk metallic glass on the substrate and the bulk metallic glass comprises approximately 0% crystallinity, approximately 0% porosity, less than 50 MPa thermal stress, approximately 0% distortion, approximately 0 inch heat affected zone, approximately 0% dilution, and a strength of about 2,000-3,500 MPa.
