A method for preparing a nano spherical oxide dispersion strengthening phase using a micron oxide is proposed for the first time. First, a micron oxide is used as a raw material to prepare a nano oxide with a completely amorphous structure/matrix alloy composite powder by mechanical ball milling in stages. In the first stage, ball milling is performed, causing the oxide to break and transform in structure, and achieving nano-sizing and completely amorphization, to prepare a composite powder with a completely amorphous structure nano oxide uniformly distributed in the matrix alloy powder; and in the second stage, the composite powder obtained in the first stage and the remaining matrix alloy powder are uniformly mixed by ball milling. Then, the uniformly mixed powder is sequentially subjected to hot forming, hot rolling, and heat treatment, to obtain a nano spherical oxide dispersion strengthened alloy.

Provided is a heat sink that has a clad structure of a Cu—Mo composite material and a Cu material and has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity. The heat sink comprises a pair of Cu—Mo composite layers and a Cu layer stacked in a thickness direction so that the Cu layer is interposed between the Cu—Mo composite layers or comprises three or more Cu—Mo composite layers and two or more Cu layers alternately stacked in the thickness direction so that two of the Cu—Mo composite layers are outermost layers on both sides, wherein each of the Cu—Mo composite layers has a thickness section microstructure in which flat Mo phase is dispersed in a Cu matrix. Such a clad structure achieves high thermal conductivity together with a low coefficient of thermal expansion.
