ABSTRACT:
A thermal joint for transferring heat from a first object to a second object contains a first relatively thick layer of high bulk thermal conductivity material and a second relatively thin layer of lubricant. In a preferred embodiment an anti-adhesion coating is also present in the joint. The thermal joint completely fills the gap between the first and second objects while enabling relative sliding motion to compensate for any lateral distortion.
