Joining ZTA ceramic by using Dy2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 glass ceramic filler

In this paper, a novel Dy₂O₃-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ (DAS) glass ceramic was designed and prepared for joining zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramic. The crystallization, thermal expansion behavior and wetting behavior of the DAS glass filler were studied. The effect of cooling rate and joining temperature on the microstructure and flexural strength of joints was investigated. The results show that slow cooling rate (15 °C/min) leads to crystallization of brazing seam, which causes the formation of pores in the joints due to the large density difference between the glass and the crystalline phases. The dissolution of ZrO₂ from ZTA substrate into the filler during joining process improves the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the brazing seam and substrate. The maximum flexural strength of 535 MPa is obtained when the joining temperature and cooling rate are 1475 °C and 50 °C/min, respectively.     

Microstructure evolution and cooperative reinforcement mechanisms of Al2O3/Al2O3 joints brazed by low-melting borosilicate glass

The Al₂O₃/SiO₂–B₂O₃–Al₂O₃–Na₂O glass/Al₂O₃ joints reinforced cooperatively by glass matrix and in-situ Al₄B₂O₉ whiskers were obtained via a low-melting borosilicate glass braze. The composition of glass seam transformed from SiO₂–B₂O₃–Na₂O to SiO₂–B₂O₃–Al₂O₃–Na₂O due to continuous diffusion and dissolution of Al₂O₃. An appropriate amount of [AlO₄] units introduced into the glass braze played a vital role in strengthening the glass network structure resulting to considerably improved mechanical strength of the glass seam. Meanwhile, plenty of in-situ Al₄B₂O₉ whiskers growing from the Al₂O₃/glass braze interface to the center of glass seam in various directions generated. Three-dimensional crisscross structures were fabricated at the Al₂O₃/glass braze interface domains, where were enhanced by crack-bridging and pull-out effect of the whiskers. Generally, ascribed to the cooperative reinforcement of the glass matrix in the seam and in-situ Al₄B₂O₉ whiskers at Al₂O₃/glass braze interface domains through reactions of Al₂O₃ and borosilicate glass braze, strength of the as-brazed joints was promoted prominently. The shear strength of the joints reached a maximum of 61 MPa brazed at 1050 °C for 60 min.     

Microstructure evolution and bonding strength of the Al2O3/Al2O3 interface brazed via Ni-Ti intermetallic phases

In this study, Al₂O₃ workpieces were vacuum brazed by using Ni-45Ti binary alloy. The interfacial microstructure evolution of the joints obtained at different brazing temperatures was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The bonding strength of the joints was measured by shear testing. The results indicated that Ni₂Ti₄O and AlNi₂Ti were the main reaction products in the joint areas. Moreover, the Ti₂Ni intermetallic compound formed in the brazing seam. The typical layer structure of the brazed joints was Al₂O₃/AlNi₂Ti/Ni₂Ti₄O/Ti₂Ni + NiTi/Ni₂Ti₄O/AlNi₂Ti/Al₂O₃. With the brazing temperature increasing, the thickness of the Ni₂Ti₄O reaction layer adjacent to the Al₂O₃ substrate increased significantly, while the AlNi₂Ti phase had a tendency to dissolve with the brazing temperature increasing. The mechanism for the microstructure evolution was also discussed. The maximum shear strength of 125.63±4.87 MPa of the joints was obtained when brazed at 1350 °C for 30min. The fracture occurred hardly in the interface between Al₂O₃ and Ni-45Ti filler alloy.     

Ti-50Ni钎焊TZM与ZrCp-W接头界面组织及性能

采用Ti-50Ni(at%)钎料实现了TZM合金与ZrC_p-W复合材料的真空钎焊连接,通过SEM、EDS、XRD等方法分析了接头界面的微观组织结构,研究了钎焊温度对TZM/Ti-50Ni/ZrC_p-W接头界面组织及性能的影响。结果表明:钎焊接头的典型界面结构为TZM/Ti-Mo+TiNi_3+Mo-Ti-W/Ti Ni+TiNi_3+W(s,s)+(Ti,Zr)C/ZrC_p-W。随着钎焊温度的升高,Ti-Mo固溶体层宽度逐渐增大,线状条纹增多、增宽,组织逐渐粗大,晶界变圆滑;接头的抗剪强度随钎焊温度升高先升高后降低,当钎焊温度为1340℃,保温10 min时,接头获得最大抗剪强度为146 MPa。     

光束偏移量对DD407/GH1140激光焊接头性能的影响

对航空发动机整体叶盘所采用的DD407和GH1140异种材料进行了激光对接试验,分析了光束偏移对接头力学性能的影响及典型接头横截面的组织特征,并分析了光束偏移对焊缝微观硬度影响。结果表明,该异种材料激光焊接头强度可达到466.3MPa,且光束偏移量对接头强度影响不大,主要取决于GH1140母材;焊缝横截面呈典型的"酒杯状",主要由焊缝两侧的枝状晶及中心的等轴晶组成;接头的显微硬度从GH1140侧经焊缝到DD407侧呈逐渐递增趋势,W和Co元素的固溶强化、γ'强化相的含量的增加、晶粒粗化是显微硬度上升的原因。     

铜铝钎焊接头中的金属间化合物

本文对近年来钎焊铜铝异种材料的相关研究进行回顾,分析了在接头形成与服役时,焊缝中金属间化合物(IMCs)的形成与生长。结果表明,金属间化合物的形成与生长在接头形成与服役过程中是不可避免的。金属间化合物的形成和生长取决于铜铝之间以及与钎料之间的原子相互扩散。金属间化合物的形核和生长必须同时满足热力学与动力学条件。脆硬性金属间化合物容易引起应力集中,且其形成与生长会加剧扩散原子的消耗,因此金属间化合物的形成与生长是导致接头缺陷(如孔洞、空洞和裂纹)的主要原因之一。当界面处金属间化合物层的厚度超过2~5μm时,接头性能会急剧下降。影响金属间化合物生长与扩散和接头缺陷的主要因素有温度,导热性,接头设计,热输入和钎料成分等。以上因素主要通过改变原子扩散过程影响金属间化合物的形成与生长。目前,控制金属间化合物形成与生长的主要方法有控制接头热输入、优化接头设计和在钎料中添加第三元素等。     

FB3-F银钎剂去膜机理

研究了由H₃BO₃、K₂B₄O₇和KF（质量比为7:10:3）3种组分配制而成的银钎剂的去膜机理。结果表明：在700 ℃时,K₂B₄O₇或KF都不能单独去除Q235钢板表面的氧化膜,且KF会加快高温下钢表面的氧化速率;H₃BO₃能够去除Q235钢表面的氧化膜,然而其反应产物具有明显的非晶结构特征,并且流动性差。此外在700 ℃时,H₃BO₃与KF能够发生反应,其反应产物可以去除钢表面氧化膜。KF和K₂B₄O₇之间也能在700 ℃发生类似的反应,然而其反应产物非常坚硬。因此,在700 ℃时,H₃BO₃、K₂B₄O₇和KF混合钎剂能够与Q235钢板表面氧化膜反应,且反应产物具有明显的非晶特征。KF的加入将非反应性H₃BO₃-K₂B₄O₇二元体系转化为反应性KF-H₃BO₃-K₂B₄O₇三元体系。在这个三元体系中,KF不但对钢板没有腐蚀性,反而促进了氧化膜的去除。

Interface characteristics and mechanical properties of the induction brazed joint of magnesium alloy AZ31B with an Al-based filler metal

In this paper, wrought magnesium alloy AZ31B sheets were brazed by means of high-frequency induction heating device using a novel Al-based filler metal in argon gas shield condition. The interfacial microstructure, phase constitution and fracture morphology of the brazed joint were studied. The experimental results show that α-Mg solid solution and β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase were formed in brazing region. Moreover, the homogeneous Mg₃₂(Al, Zn)₄₉ phase in the original Al-based filler metal disappeared entirely after the brazing process due to the fierce alloying between the molten filler metal and the base metal during brazing. Test results show that the shear strength of the brazed joint is 45 MPa. The fracture morphology of the brazed joint exhibits intergranular fracture mode and the crack originates from the hard β-Mg₁₇Al₁₂ phase.     

Improved mechanical properties of reaction-bonded SiC through in-situ formation of Ti3SiC2

Reaction-bonded SiC is a ceramic with excellent thermal properties, good corrosion resistance and the characteristic of near-net-shape manufacturing. However, the poor fracture toughness of free Si limits the applications of reaction-bonded SiC. In this study, TiC was added to reaction-bonded SiC and reacted with free Si to form Ti₃SiC₂. The effects of TiC and carbon black on the mechanical properties of reaction-bonded SiC were investigated. The results demonstrated that the in-situ formation of Ti₃SiC₂ and decrease in the content and size of free Si improved the mechanical properties of reaction-bonded SiC ceramics. The mechanical properties of TiC-added reaction-bonded SiC with 17.5 wt% carbon black were superior to those of TiC-added reaction-bonded SiC with 15 wt% carbon black. Moreover, increasing the TiC content of reaction-bonded SiC with 17.5 wt% carbon black from 0 to 7.5 wt% caused an increase in its bending strength from 183.92 to 424.43 MPa and an increase in fracture toughness from 3.7 to 5.24 MPa m^1/2.
