AgCuNiLi钎焊TiC金属陶瓷与GH3128界面结构及接头性能

采用AgCuNiLi钎料对TiC金属陶瓷与GH3128镍基高温合金进行钎焊。结果表明:当钎焊温度为840℃,保温10min时,接头典型界面结构可以表示为:TiC金属陶瓷/(Cu,Ni)/Ag(s.s)+Cu(s.s)/(Cu,Ni)/GH3128。随着钎焊温度的升高或保温时间的延长,TiC金属陶瓷附近的(Cu,Ni)固溶体层厚度增大,且向钎料内部呈树枝状长大,钎料内部的Ag-Cu共晶组织逐渐减少。界面机理分析表明:钎料中Li的加入能促进界面上(Cu,Ni)固溶体的形成;但(Cu,Ni)固溶体的继续长大则受钎料中Cu元素的扩散程度控制。当加热温度由810℃升高到960℃,接头抗剪强度呈现先增大,然后缓慢减小的变化趋势。当加热温度为880℃、保温时间为10min时,接头抗剪强度达到最大值204MPa。     

钎料对TiC陶瓷/铸铁钎缝处剪应力的影响

采用有限元数值模拟方法研究了采用不同钎料对冷却过程中TiC陶瓷／铸铁焊缝处剪应力的影响。结果表明，无论采用Ni基钎料、Ti基钎料还是他基钎料，剪应力均主要集中在TiC陶瓷／铸铁的钎缝端点上。当采用Ni基和Ag基钎料时，剪应力的最大值出现在钎料／TiC陶瓷界而；而采用Ti基钎料时，剪应力的最大值出现在铸铁／钎料界面。当采用Ni基和Ti基钉料时，冷却到室温的钎缝最大剪应力值较大，因此接头的连接强度较低；当采用Ag基钎料时，冷却到室温的钎缝最大剪应力值较小，因此接头的连接强度较高。

Microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrB2–SiC ultrahigh temperature ceramic composite joint using TiZrNiCu filler metal

Abstract

ZrB₂–SiC ceramic composite was brazed by using TiZrNiCu active filler metal. The microstructure and interfacial phenomena of the joints were analysed by means of SEM, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The joining effect was evaluated by shear strength. The results showed that the reaction products of the ZrB₂–SiC ceramic composite joint were TiC, ZrC, Ti₅Si₃, Zr₂Si, Zr(s,s) and (Ti, Zr)₂ (Ni, Cu), and the microstructure was separately ZrB₂–SiC/Zr(s,s)/Ti₅Si₃+Zr₂Si+TiC+ZrC+(Ti,Zr)₂(Ni,Cu)/Zr(s,s)/ZrB₂–SiC. A conceptual interface evolution model was established to explain the interface evolution mechanism. The maximum shear strength of the brazed joints was 143·5 MPa at the brazing temperature T of 920°C and the holding time t of 10 min.

Bonding of Al2O3 ceramic and Nb using transient liquid phase brazing

The brazing of Al2O3 to Nb was achieved by the method of transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding. Ti foil and Ni-5V alloy foil were used as interlayers for the bonding. The base materials were brazed at 1423-1573 K for 1-120 min. The results show that the shear strength of the joint first increases and then decreases with increasing holding time and brazing temperature. The joint interface microstructure and elements distribution were investigated. It can be concluded that a composite structure, in which the base metals are solid solution Nb(V) and Nb(Ti) reinforced by Ni3Ti, is formed when the brazing temperature is 1473 K and holding time 15 min, and a satisfactory joint strength can be achieved. The interaction of Ti foil and Ni-5V foil leads to the formation of liquid eutectic phase with low melting point, at the same time the combination of Ti come from the interlayer with O atoms from Al2O3 results in the bonding of Al2O3 and Nb.

Cu元素在钎焊过程中逐渐从钎料扩散陶瓷母材中,通过与SiC反应生成Cu-Si脆性化合物进一步促进（C_f-SiC_f）/SiBCN陶瓷的分解,同时Cu-Si相是接头断裂路径由钎料层扩展到陶瓷侧的主要原因;保温时间过高时,陶瓷的分解程度增加,接头断裂在陶瓷内部;而温度过高时,固溶体前端与钎料层物相差异增大而引起了贯穿钎料层的裂纹.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of the SiC/Nb joint brazed using AgCuTi+B4C composite filler metal

The residual stress is considered to be the driving force for the failure of ceramic/metal brazing joint. In this paper, the residual stress in a SiC/Nb joint is alleviated by using AgCuTi+B₄C composite brazing filler. SEM, EDS and XRD are applied to characterised the microstructure of the joint, which is determined to be SiC/Ti₃SiC₂/Ag(s,s)+Cu(s,s)+TiB+TiC/TiCu+ Nb(s,s)/Nb. The effects of the B₄C strengthening phase mass fraction and the brazing temperature on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the joint are investigated. It is found that the reaction products between B₄C and the brazing filler (TiB whisker and TiC particles) uniformly distribute inside the joint if the mass fraction of the B₄C is not higher than 1.5 wt% and when the amount of B₄C reaches 2 wt%, the reaction products begin to agglomerate. With the rising of the brazing temperature, the thickness of the Ti₃SiC₂ reaction layer next to the ceramic increases and when the brazing temperature reaches 910 °C, another reaction layer of Ti₅Si₃ can be found adjacent to the Ti₃SiC₂ reaction layer. The strength of the joint first increases and then decreases with the increase of both the strengthening phase and the brazing temperature. The highest shear strength of the joint reaches 98 MPa when the joint is achieved at 890 °C using AgCuTi+1.5 wt%B₄C brazing filler.

Development of high strength stainless steel brazed joints using rapidly solidified filler alloys

Abstract

Two types of rapidly solidified filler alloys of nominal composition Cu–40Mn–10Ni (C50) and Ni–7Cr–3·2B–4·5Si–3Fe (N82) were used for stainless steel (SS304) brazing joints. The C50 foil is crystalline in nature, whereas N82 foil shows amorphous structure. The SS304/C50/SS304 joint shows solid solution phases at interfacial area, with maximum bond strength of 500 MPa, which qualifies to 80% of base metal strength. Conversely, the SS304/N82/SS304 joint develops brittle Cr_xB_y intermetallic phases, which lowers bond strength to 330 MPa.     

Laser brazing of alloy 600 with precious filler metals

Abstract

The diode laser brazing of Ni base heat resistant alloy with precious filler metals has been conducted using the tandem beam for preheating and brazing. A couple of 1 mm thick plates of alloy 600 (Inconel 600) were butt brazed using Au–18Ni, Ag–10Pd and Ag–21Cu–25Pd filler metals of 0·5 mm diameter with a brazing flux. Sound butt joints which were free from brazing defects such as porosity and lack of penetration could be obtained at brazing clearances of 0·1–1·5 mm. The tensile strength of the braze joint produced using Ag–Pd filler metal increased with decreasing brazing clearance and reached ～70% of the base metal strength at a brazing clearance of 0·1 mm while those obtained by using Au–Ni and Ag–Cu–Pd filler metals were comparable with the base metal strength at any clearances between 0·1 and 1·5 mm. The laser brazing technique could be successfully applied to the brazing of Ni base superalloy to attain a joint with high performance and reliability.     

Weld brazing of copper thick plates

Abstract

The weld brazing of 6 mm thick copper plates without preheating was investigated. The weld metal of weld brazing is composed of α-Cu solid solution and Cu–Ag–P eutectic structure, and the α-Cu solid solution in the weld metal of weld brazing is larger than that in the brazing weld. The average hardness values within the weld are 60 HV (50 g) lower for weld brazing than for brazing. In all weld brazing specimens tested, the failure was located in the heat affected zone with a tensile strength slightly lower than the base metal but similar to the arc welding joints.     

Brazing of A5056 aluminium alloy with the aid of ultrasonic vibration using Ag filler metal

In order to produce a high strength brazed joint of A5056 aluminium alloy containing magnesium of about 5 mass%, the authors applied a flux-free brazing method with the aid of ultrasonic vibration to the aluminium alloy by selecting pure Ag foil as brazing filler metal and examined the effect of brazing conditions on the joint properties. The main results obtained in this study are as follows.

At a brazing temperature of 570°C, just above the eutectic point of Al–Ag binary system, application of ultrasonic vibration for 4.0 s provided the brazed joint with the maximum tensile strength and the strength decreased with the application time. When the brazing temperature was varied from 550 to 580°C and the application time of ultrasonic vibration was kept constant at 4.0 s, the joint brazed at 560°C attained the maximum tensile strength and fractured in the base metal. It was found that using a pure Ag foil as brazing filler metal successfully brazed A5056 aluminium alloy and the joint strength was equivalent to that of the base metal. Fracture of the joint was prone to occur along the (Al₃Mg₂ + Al solid solution) phase with high hardness formed at the grain boundary of the base metal. The amount of the hard (Al₃Mg₂ + Al solid solution) phase increased with the ultrasonic application time and the brazing temperature. It seemed that the increase of the hard (Al₃Mg₂ + Al solid solution) phase mainly caused the brazed joint strength to decrease.     

Mechanisms of joining aluminium A6061-T6 and titanium Ti–6Al–4V alloys by cold metal transfer technology

Abstract

Cold metal transfer (CMT) welding–brazing joining of Ti6Al4V and Al A6061-T6 was carried out using AlSi₅ wire. The joining mechanisms and mechanical properties of the joints were identified and characterised by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy and tensile–shear tests. Desired CMT joints with satisfied weld appearances and mechanical properties were achieved by overlapping Ti on the top of Al. The joints had dual characteristics of a welding joint on the aluminium side and a brazing joint on the titanium side. Three brazing interfaces were formed for the joint, which increased the strength of the joint. An intermetallic compound layer was formed at the brazing interface, which included Ti₃Al, TiAl and TiAl₃. Two different fracture modes were also observed: one fractured at the welding/brazing interface and weld metal and the other at the Al heat affected zone (HAZ). Clearly, the joints fractured at the Al HAZ had higher tensile strength than those fractured at the welding/brazing interface and weld metal.
