Microstructure and mechanical performance of brazed joints of Cf/SiC composite and Ti alloy using Ag–Cu–Ti–W

Abstract

C_f/SiC composite was brazed to Ti alloy using interlayer of Ag–Cu–Ti–W mixed powder. The effects of W content and brazing parameters on the microstructure and properties of the brazed joints were investigated. The results show that W grains mainly distribute in Ag phase in the brazing layer and provide the effects of reinforcement and lowering residual thermal stress on the joint. The room temperature and 500°C shear strengths of the joints performed at 500°C for 30 min with Ag–Cu–Ti–50W (vol.-%) are remarkably higher than the optimal strengths of the joints brazed with Ag–Cu–Ti.

Brazing C/SiC composites and Nb with TiNiNb active filler metal

Abstract

C/SiC composites and Nb were vacuum brazed with the Ti_39·4Ni_39·4Nb_21·2 alloy being the active filler metal. The mechanical properties of the filler material, the microstructure and the strength of brazing joints were investigated. The results showed that the filler TiNiNb alloy has a tensile strength of 860?MPa, an elongation of 51% and an elastic modulus of 78?GPa. Both Ti and Nb elements in the filler reacted with C/SiC during the brazing process, and a well bonded C/SiC–Nb joint was obtained. The ductile filler metal released the thermal stress in the joint. When the brazing was performed at 1220°C for 20?min, the shear strength of brazed joints reached 149, 120 and 73?MPa at 20, 600 and 800°C respectively.     

Joining of Cf/SiC Composite and TC4 Using Ag-Al-Ti Active Brazing Alloy

Carbon fiber reinforced SiC (C_f/SiC) composite was successfully joined to TC4 with Ag-Al-Ti alloy powder by brazing. Microstructures of the brazed joints were investigated by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, and x-ray diffraction. The mechanical properties of the brazed joints were measured by mechanical testing machine. The results showed that the brazed joint mainly consists of TiC, Ti₃SiC₂, Ti₅Si₃, Ag, TiAl, and Ti₃Al reaction products. TiC + Ti₃SiC₂/Ti₅Si₃ + TiAl reaction layers are formed near C_f/SiC composite while TiAl/Ti₃Al/Ti + Ti₃Al reaction layers are formed near TC4. The thickness of reaction layers of the brazed joint increases with the increased brazing temperature or holding time. The maximum room temperature and 500 °C shear strengths of the joints brazed at brazing temperature 930 °C for holding time 20 min are 84 and 40 MPa, respectively.     

Bending properties of friction stir welded joints – Studies on characteristics of friction stir welded joints in structural aluminum alloys (report 4)

The objective of this work is to determine the best parameters for brazing ceramic joints of pre-metallized Al₂O₃ with Ti by a plasma process using amorphous ribbons of Cu₄₉Ag₄₅Ce_x alloy as the addition metal. The alloys were prepared in an arc oven, and later processed by melt spinning, varying Cerium content by 4–6%. Brazing took place in a vacuum oven and the following variables were analysed: deposition time of the Ti film and temperature and brazing time, which were related to the flex resistance in three points of the brazed joint. A linear regression equation was obtained, and the interaction between these factors was verified. The metallized ceramic surfaces showed excellent uniformity and the brazed joints demonstrated very good adhesion, achieving flex resistance values of up to176.8 MPa.

Microjoining of Ti–Ni alloy and stainless steel using resistance brazing method aided by numerical simulation

A novel resistance brazing method aided by numerical simulation, in which the brazing is completed through several preliminary heatings and a subsequent final heating aided by the numerical simulation is presented. The preliminary heating is performed with a relatively low electric energy input so that the uniformity of the surface contact condition between two parts can be improved due to local melting and subsequent solidification and so that the electric current data can be acquired for preparing analytical conditions necessary to the numerical simulation. The final heating is performed with an energizing condition determined by the numerical simulation in advance. To prove the efficacy of the resistance brazing method aided by the numerical simulation, Ti–Ni alloy and type 304 stainless steel wires with diameters of 96 μm both were butt-joint brazed using Au–Cu brazing filler metal supplied with the individual metal plating. The brazed joints had tensile strengths ranging from 74 to 448 MPa in accordance with the energizing conditions.     

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.     

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of 6063 Aluminum Alloy Brazed Joints with Al-Si-Cu-Ni-RE Filler Metal

A new low melting point filler metal, Al-Si-Cu-Ni-RE, was developed for the furnace brazing of aluminum alloy 6063. Flux-assisted brazing was conducted at 560 °C using the new filler metal and AlF₃-CsF-KF flux. Microstructure of the brazed joints were studied by means of SEM, TEM, and EDS. Shear strength and micro-Vickers hardness of joints had been tested. Results show that sound joints could be obtained with the filler metal and the flux. Microstructure characterization of the brazed joint shows dendritic CuAl₂ phase was distributed evenly and Si-phase was spheroidized and refined, which was embedded in CuAl₂ dendrites with modification of rare-earth element. Shear strength test results show that the joints with Al-Si-Cu-Ni-RE filler metal achieved average shear strength of 62.5 MPa, 14.5% more than the shear strength of brazed joints with Chinese HL401 filler metal. The micro-Vickers hardness of joint after T6 treatment is about 83 HV. The hardness of the joints after just brazing and after solution treatment was higher than the hardness of the base metal.     

Brazing of TiBw/TC4 composite and Ti60 alloy using TiZrNiCu amorphous filler alloy

TiB_w/TC4 composite was brazed to Ti60 alloy successfully using TiZrNiCu amorphous filler alloy, and the interfacial microstructures and mechanical properties were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD and universal tensile testing machine. The typical interfacial microstructure was TiB_w/TC4 composite/β-Ti + TiB whiskers/(Ti, Zr)₂(Ni, Cu) intermetallic layer/β-Ti/Ti60 alloy when being brazed at 940 °C for 10 min. The interfacial microstructure evolution was influenced strongly by the diffusion and reaction between molten fillers and the substrates. Increasing brazing temperature decreased the thickness of brittle (Ti, Zr)₂(Ni, Cu) intermetallic layer, which disappeared finally when the brazing temperature exceeded 1020 °C. Fracture analyses indicated that cracks were initialized in the brittle intermetallic layer when (Ti, Zr)₂(Ni, Cu) phase existed in the brazing seam. The maximum average shear strength of joints reached 368.6 MPa when brazing was conducted at 1020 °C. Further increasing brazing temperature to 1060 °C, the shear strength was decreased due to the formation of coarse lamellar (α+β)-Ti structure.     

Vacuum brazing of TZM alloy to ZrC particle reinforced W composite using Ti-28Ni eutectic brazing alloy

Reliable brazing of TZM alloy and ZrC particle reinforced (ZrC_p) W composite was achieved in this study by using Ti-28Ni eutectic brazing alloy. The typical interfacial microstructure of TZM/Ti-28Ni/ZrC_p-W brazed joint consisted of a Ti solid solution (Ti(s, s)) layer, a continuous Ti₂Ni layer and a diffusion layer mainly composed of W particles and (Ti, Zr)C particles. With an increase of brazing temperature, more ZrC particles and W particles entered the molten brazing alloy, which broadened the brazing seam and diminished the Ti₂Ni layer, resulting in the disappearance of the Ti₂Ni layer eventually. Meanwhile, more Ti(s, s) stripes were observed on the TZM side. The presence of continuous Ti₂Ni intermetallic phase and Ti(s, s) stripes structure in joints deteriorated the joining properties, which resulted in the formation of brittle fracture under shear test. In addition, the fracture path was related to the brazing temperature, and cracks initiate and propagate in the continuous Ti₂Ni layer at lower temperatures. However, the fracture path tended to be located at the TZM substrate close to the interface between TZM and the brazing seam when the brazing temperature exceeded 1040 °C. The optimal room temperature shear strength reached 120.5 MPa when brazed at 1040 °C for 10 min and the fracture surface exhibited cleavage fracture characteristics, and the shear strength at high temperature of 800 °C for the specimens with highest shear strength at room temperature reached 77.5 MPa.     

Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Electron Beam-Welded Titanium-Steel Joints with Vanadium,Nickel, Copper and Silver Filler Metals

Electron beam welding experiments of titanium alloy to stainless steel with V, Ni, Cu and Ag filler metals were carried out. The interfacial microstructures of the joints were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated according to tensile strength and microhardness. The results showed that all the filler metals were helpful to restrain the Ti-Fe intermetallics formed in the Ti/Fe joint. The welds with different filler metals were all characterized by solid solution and interfacial intermetallics. And the type of solid solution and interfacial intermetallics were depended on the metallurgical reactions between the filler metals and base metals. The interfacial intermetallics were Fe₂Ti + Ni₃Ti + NiTi₂, TiFe, Ti₂Ag, and Cu₂Ti + CuTi + CuTi₂ in the joints welded with Ni, V, Ag, and Cu filler metals, respectively. The tensile strengths of the joints were primarily determined by the hardness of the interfacial intermetallics. The highest tensile strength was obtained in the joint welded with silver filler metal, which is about 310 MPa.     

Vacuum Brazing TC4 Titanium Alloy to 304 Stainless Steel with Cu-Ti-Ni-Zr-V Amorphous Alloy Foil

Dissimilar metal vacuum brazing between TC4 titanium alloy and 304 stainless steel was conducted with newly designed Cu-Ti-Ni-Zr-V amorphous alloy foils as filler metals. Solid joints were obtained due to excellent compatibility between the filler metal and stainless steel substrate. Partial dissolution of stainless steel substrate occurred during brazing. The shear strength of the joint brazed with Cu_43.75Ti_37.5Ni_6.25Zr_6.25V_6.25 foil was 105 MPa and that with Cu_37.5Ti₂₅Ni_12.5Zr_12.5V_12.5 was 116 MPa. All the joints fractured through the gray layer in the brazed seam, revealing brittle fracture features. Cr₄Ti, Cu_0.8FeTi, Fe₈TiZr₃ and Al₂NiTi₃C compounds were found in the fractured joint brazed with Cu_43.75Ti_37.5Ni_6.25Zr_6.25V_6.25 foil, and Fe₂Ti, TiCu, Fe₈TiZr₃ and NiTi_0.8Zr_0.3 compounds were detected in the joint brazed with Cu_37.5Ti₂₅Ni_12.5Zr_12.5V_12.5 foil. The existence of Cr-Ti, Fe-Ti, Cu-Fe-Ti, and Fe-Ti-V intermetallic compounds in the brazed seam caused fracture of the resultant joints.

Diode laser brazing of aluminium alloy to steels with aluminium filler metal

Abstract

Diode laser brazing of aluminium alloy (A5052) to interstitial free steel (IF steel) or type 304 stainless steel (SUS304) was conducted using aluminium filler metal (BA4047) with Nocolock flux. The processing parameters of laser power, wire feed rate and travel speed were varied. The strength of lap joints of A5052 on steels was evaluated by tensile shear test. The joint strength of A5052/steels was increased with increasing laser power and reached the maximum strength, more than approximately 80% of the A5052 base metal strength, at a laser power of 1300 W. Voids and incomplete penetration of filler metal were observed at the A5052/braze layer interface when the laser power was below 1100 W. The Fe–Al intermetallic compounds were formed at the steel/braze layer interfaces and grew drastically when the laser power exceeded 1300 W. Superior brazability of A5052/steels was found at brazing conditions corresponding to a temperature of filler metal droplet of 1050–1250 K.     

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.
