Joining alumina to inconel 600 and UMCo-50 superalloys using an Sn10Ag4Ti active filler metal

Alumina ceramics were brazed to Inconel 600 and UMCo-50 superalloys at 900 °C for 10 min using an Sn10Ag4Ti active filler metal. The brazing filler showed good wettability on alumina and superalloys. The flexural strengths were 69 and 57 MPa for alumina/Inconel 600 and alumina/UMCo-50 joints, respectively. In both cases, the brazed specimens fractured along the Sn10Ag4Ti/superalloy interfaces after four-point bending tests. Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) elemental mapping revealed that the Ni of Inconel 600 and the Co of UMCo-50 dissolved into Sn10Ag4Ti filler metal, which serves to reinforce the weak Sn10Ag4Ti matrix.

The Integration of Vacuum Brazing into Heat Treatment - A Progressive Combined Process

The continuous constructive challenge to improve the functionality and efficiency of components always results in higher demands on production engineering, against the background of the generally increasing cost pressure. In many cases, you will just succeed in producing competitive and innovative products by combining and coupling of different procedures to an independent (hybrid) technology. The use of hybrid procedures for metal joining and heat treatment of metallic materials finds more and more industrial fields of application. Modern vacuum lines with integrated pressurized gas quenching are considered high-performance and flexible means of production for brazing and heat treatment tasks as well in the turbine industry as in the mould making and tool manufacturing industry. In doing so, the heat treatment is coupled with the brazing cycle in a combined process so that the brazing temperatures and soak times are adapted to the necessary temperatures and times for solution heat treatment and austeniting. This user-oriented article describes on the one hand examples of brazing of turbine components, but above all the practical experience from the plastics processing industry, where the requirement for a high-efficient cooling of injection moulding dies gains more and more importance.The combined procedure “Vacuum Brazing and Hardening” offers plenty of possibilities to produce mould inserts with an efficient tempering system in an economic way.

Novel approach of LY12 alloy brazing

The LY12 Al alloy was brazed with the adoption of the improved KF-CsF-AlF3 flux matching Ag-Al-Cu-Zn filler metal. The shear strength of brazed joint could reach 80% of that of the substrate and the tensile strength of butt brazed joint will be 70% of that of the substrate. This was the great progress against the traditional claim that Al alloy reinforced by heat treatment could not be brazed. The experimental results and theoretical analysis had proved that it was the key issue to remove the MgO oxide film below 503℃. The addition of rare earth La was the effective way to obtain better mechanical properties of the filler metal as well as brazed joints.

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic assessment of the Cu-Sn-Ti ternary system

The Cu-Sn-Ti ternary system has been studied via experiments and thermodynamic modelling. In the experimental section, the composition of the alloys was selected based on the preliminary calculations and available literature data. Metallography, scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis were employed to analyse alloy samples prepared by arc-melting after annealing at 800 °C for 760 h. Solid phase relations at 800 °C were established. In contrast to earlier reports, the CuSn₃Ti₅ phase was interpreted as a binary intermetallic compound (Sn₃Ti₅) with extended Cu solubility. In the modelling section, three binary sub-systems were critically evaluated and updated according to the new experimental data and theoretical calculations reported in literature. According to their crystal structures and homogeneity ranges, appropriate sublattice models were proposed for SnTi₃,SnTi₂,Sn₃Ti₅ and Sn₅Ti₆. A set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters for the Cu-Sn-Ti ternary system was obtained by considering the present experimental results and reported experimental information. The calculated results compare with the available experimental data to validate the present thermodynamic assessment.     

Infrared brazing of high-strength titanium alloys by Ti–15Cu–15Ni and Ti–15Cu–25Ni filler foils

Microstructures and fracture behaviors of infrared heated, vacuum brazed Ti–6Al–4V and Ti-15-3 alloys using two Ti–Cu–Ni braze fillers have been characterized to establish the effects of brazing process parameter and chemical composition on the strength of brazed joints. The brazed joint initially contains two prominent phases; a Ti alloy matrix alloyed with V, Cr, Ni, Cu and Al and a Cu–Ni-rich Ti phase. Brazing temperature and soak time control the amount of Cu–Ni-rich Ti phase in the brazed joints. The fracture mode changes from brittle cleavage to quasi-cleavage to ductile dimple as the amount of Cu–Ni-rich Ti phase is reduced in the brazed joint. Both brazing temperature and soak time are critical to eliminate the Cu–Ni-rich Ti phase for optimal shear strength and ductile fracture of brazed joints. A post-brazing annealing at lower temperature is also shown to be an effective way to homogenize the microstructure of brazed joint for improved joint strength.
