The study on interfacial bonding strength of Ag-Ni, Ag-Cu in cold pressure welding

The area of combination actually is a kind of interfacial phenomena that exist on the surface or thin film. The properties of interface have important effect on the whole welded joint, even decide directly the interfacial bonding strength.The bonding strength of metals in cold pressure welding such as Ag-Ni (they are hardly mutual soluble ) and Ag-Cu( they are limited soluble ) are discussed in this paper. The results of the tensile test suggest that two kinds of welded joints have enough strength to satisfy with the demand for being used. Moreover, thermodynamics, crystal logy, physics and metal electronic microscopic analysis etc are adopted to further calculate the bonding strength. The results of test and theoretical analyses prove that Ag-Ni, Ag-Cu, especially, for Ag-Ni can .form strong welded joint which is higher than that of the relative soft base metals in cold pressure welding.     

Laser brazing of a dissimilar joint of austenitic stainless steel and pure copper

In many industries, there are applications that require the joining of stainless steel and copper components; therefore, the welding of dissimilar stainless steel/copper joints is a common process. For this investigation, the optimal brazing conditions and suitable filler metals for laser brazing of stainless steel/copper lap joints were studied. Tensile shear force increases with increases in the laser spot diameter or in the laser irradiation angle, which is associated with increased bonding width; however, as bonding width approaches 2 mm, tensile shear force reaches a saturated value due to fracturing at the HAZ of the Cu base plate. In order to obtain joints with high tensile shear strength, laser brazing was optimized by using Cu–Si-based filler metal under the following conditions: laser power, 4 kW; spot diameter, 3 mm; laser irradiation angle, 80°; irradiation position shift, 0.6 mm; brazing speed, 0.30 m/min; and filler metal feed speed, 0.30 min. Concerning filler metals, it was found that the Ni–Cu type showed relatively large tensile shear force even at high welding speeds in comparison with those of the Cu–Si, Cu, Cu–Ni, Ni–Cu and Ni types, respectively.     

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.     

Producing composite single-crystal molybdenum mirrors by diffusion welding in the hot isostatic pressing conditions

Experiments were carried out to develop methods of diffusion welding of joints between single-crystal molybdenum and polycrystalline molybdenum through a titanium interlayer in the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) conditions. The structure and the mechanical and physical properties of the diffusion welded joints Mo_single + Ti + Mo_poly were investigated. Composite molybdenum single-crystal mirrors with areas of 5000 and 8000 mm² were produced and subjected to successful tests.     

Effects of Fabrication Parameters on Interface of Zirconia and Ti-6Al-4V Joints Using Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 Amorphous Filler

ZrO₂ was brazed to Ti-6Al-4V using a Zr₅₅Cu₃₀Al₁₀Ni₅ (at.%) amorphous filler in a high vacuum at 1173-1273 K. The influences of brazing temperature, holding time, and cooling rate on the microstructure and shear strength of the joints were investigated. The interfacial microstructures can be characterized as ZrO₂/ZrO_2?x  + TiO/(Zr,Ti)₂(Cu,Ni)/(Zr,Ti)₂(Cu,Ni,Al)/acicular Widmanstäten structure/Ti-6Al-4V. With the increase in the brazing temperature, both the thickness of the ZrO_2?x  + TiO layer and the content of the (Zr,Ti)₂(Cu,Ni) phase decreased. However, the acicular Widmanstäten structure gradually increased. With the increase in the holding time, the (Zr,Ti)₂(Cu,Ni) phase decreased, and the thickness of the (Zr,Ti)₂(Cu,Ni) + (Zr,Ti)₂(Cu,Ni,Al) layer decreased. In addition, cracks formed adjacent to the ZrO₂ side under rapid cooling. The microstructures produced under various fabrication parameters directly influence the shear strength of the joints. When ZrO₂ and Ti-6Al-4V couples were brazed at 1173 K for 10 min and then cooled at a rate of 5 K/min, the maximum shear strength of 95 MPa was obtained.     

Al2O3/SUS304 Brazing via AgCuTi-W Composite as Active Filler

Alumina ceramic (α-Al₂O₃) was brazed to stainless steel (SUS304) using an Ag-Cu-Ti + W composite filler and a traditional active brazing filler alloy (CuSil-ABA). Then, the effects of the presence of W particles and of the brazing parameters on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the brazed joints were investigated. The maximum tensile strength of the joints obtained using Ag-Cu-Ti + W composite filler was 13.2 MPa, which is similar to that obtained using CuSil-ABA filler (13.5 MPa). When the joint was brazed at 930 °C for 30 min, the tensile strengths decreased for both kinds of fillers, although the strength was slightly higher for the Ag-Cu-Ti + W composite filler than for the Ag-Cu-Ti filler. The interfacial microstructure results show that the Ti reacts with W to form a Ti-W-O compound in the brazing alloy. When there are more W particles in the brazing alloy, the thickness of the Ti _X O _Y reaction layer near the alumina ceramic decreases. Moreover, W particles added to the brazing alloy can reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion of the brazing alloy, which results in lower residual stress between the Al₂O₃ and SUS304 in the brazing joints and thus yields higher tensile strengths as compared to those obtained using the CuSil-ABA brazing alloy.     

Reaction layer characterization of the braze joint of silicon nitride to stainless steel

This investigation studies the role of titanium in the development of the reaction layer in braze joining silicon nitride to stainless steel using titanium-active copper-silver filler metals. This reaction layer formed as a result of titanium diffusing to the filler metal/silicon nitride interface and reacting with the silicon nitride to form the intermetallics, titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium suicide (Ti ₅Si₃). This reaction layer, as recognized in the literature, allows wetting of the ceramic substrate by the molten filler metal. The reaction layer thickness increases with temperature and time. Its growth rate obeys the parabolic relationship. Activation energies of 220.1 and 210.9 kj/mol were calculated for growth of the reaction layer for the two filler metals used. These values are close to the activation energy of nitrogen in TiN (217.6 kj/mol). Two filler metals were used in this study, Ticusil (68.8 wt% Ag, 26.7 wt% Cu, 4.5 wt% Ti) and CB4 (70.5 wt% Ag, 26.5 wt% Cu, 3.0 wt% Ti). The joints were processed in vacuum at temperatures of 840 to 900 °C at various times. Bonding strength is affected by reaction layer thickness in the absence of Ti-Cu intermetallics in the filler metal matrix.     

Effects of Insert Metal Type on Interfacial Microstructure During Dissimilar Joining of TiAl Alloy to SCM440 by Friction Welding

Although the welding zone of direct bonding between a TiAl alloy and SCM440 can be obtained by friction welding, martensitic transformation and the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and cracks result in a lower tensile strength of the joints relative to those of other welding techniques. Insert metals were used as a buffer layer to relieve stress while increasing the bond strength. In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties on welded joints of a TiAl alloy and SCM440 with various insert metals, were investigated. The TiAl/Cu/SCM440 and TiAl/Ni/SCM440 joints were fabricated using a servo-motor-type friction welding machine. As a result, it was confirmed that the formation of a welding flash was dependent on the insert metal type, and the strength of the base metal. At the TiAl/Cu/SCM440 interface, the formation of IMCs CuTiAl and Cu₂TiAl was observed at TiAl/Cu, while no IMC formation was observed at Cu/SCM440. On the other hand, at the TiAl/Ni/SCM440 interface, several IMCs with more than 100 μm thickness were found, and roughly two compositions, viz., Ti₂NiAl₃ and TiNi₂Al, were observed at the TiAl/Ni interface. At the Ni/SCM440 interface, 10 μm-thick FeNi and others were found.     

Vacuum brazing of TiAl-based intermetallics with Ti–Zr–Cu–Ni–Co amorphous alloy as filler metal

An amorphous Ti41.7–Zr26.7–Cu14.7–Ni13.8–Co3.1 (wt%) ribbon fabricated by melt spinning was used as filler to vacuum braze Ti–48Al–2Nb–2Cr (at%) intermetallics. The influences of brazing temperature and time on the microstructure and strength of the joints were investigated. It is found that intermetallic phases of Ti₃Al and γ-Ti₂Cu/Ti₂Ni form in the brazed joints. The tensile strength of the joint first increases and then decreases with the increase of the brazing temperature in the range of 900–1050 °C and the brazing time varying from 3 to 15 min. The maximum tensile strength at room temperature is 316 MPa when the joint is brazed at 950 °C for 5 min. Cleavage facets are widely observed on all of the fracture surfaces of the brazed joints. The fracture path varies with the brazing condition and cracks prefer to initiate at locations with relatively high content of γ-Ti₂Cu/Ti₂Ni phases and propagate through them.     

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.     

Interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of GH99 superalloy and Nb brazed joint using Cu75Pt25 filler

Cu75Pt25 brazing filler was applied to brazing GH99 superalloy to Nb, and the sound joints were obtained by adjusting brazing parameters. The typical interfacial microstructure of the brazed joint was Nb/Nb₇Ni₆+NbNi₃/ Ni(s,s)+Cr-rich NbNi₃+(NbCr₂+NbNi₃)/GH99. The effects of brazing temperature and holding time on the interfacial microstructure of GH99/Cu75Pt25/Nb joints were studied. The results showed that the solution and diffusion of Ni atoms from GH99 substrate into brazing seam played a critical role in the interfacial microstructure evolution. As the brazing temperature rose, the Nb–Ni reaction layer was formed instead of the initial Nb₃Pt layer, and the thickness increased firstly and then remained constant. The highest shear strength of the joint reached 152 MPa when brazed at 1150 °C for 15 min. All of the joints presented a brittle fracture mode during shear test, and the fracture location changed from Nb₃Pt layer to Nb–Ni compounds layer.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu/Al joints brazed using (Cu,Ni, Zr,Er)-modified Al—Si filler alloys

To design a promising Al—Si filler alloy with a relatively low melting-point, good strength and plasticity for the Cu/Al joint, the Cu, Ni, Zr and Er elements were innovatively added to modify the traditional Al—Si eutectic filler. The microstructure and mechanical properties of filler alloys and Cu/Al joints were investigated. The result indicated that the Al—Si—Ni—Cu filler alloys mainly consisted of Al(s,s), Al₂(Cu,Ni) and Si(s,s). The Al—10Si—2Ni—6Cu filler alloy exhibited relatively low solidus (521 °C) and liquidus (577 °C) temperature, good tensile strength (305.8 MPa) and fracture elongation (8.5%). The corresponding Cu/Al joint brazed using Al—10Si—2Ni—6Cu filler was mainly composed of Al₈(Mn,Fe)₂Si, Al₂(Cu,Ni)₃, Al(Cu,Ni), Al₂(Cu,Ni) and Al(s,s), yielding a shear strength of (90.3±10.7) MPa. The joint strength was further improved to (94.6±2.5) MPa when the joint was brazed using the Al—10Si—2Ni—6Cu—0.2Er—0.2Zr filler alloy. Consequently, the (Cu, Ni, Zr, Er)-modified Al—Si filler alloy was suitable for obtaining high-quality Cu/Al brazed joints.

In Situ Synthesis of Ceramic Reinforcements for Carbon/CuCrZr Joints Brazed with Composite Fillers

Brazing of two kinds of carbon materials including graphite and carbon fiber-reinforced carbon composites to copper alloys has been realized with CuTiH₂ + BN composite fillers. The microstructure characterization reveals that the ceramic reinforcements containing TiN particles and TiB whiskers have been synthesized by in situ reaction of BN additives with Ti discomposed from TiH₂ in the composite filler. The filler layer of the joints is mainly composed of Cu-based solid solutions [Cu (ss)] and Ti-Cu intermetallics along with ceramic reinforcements. Furthermore, a continuous thin reaction layer mainly containing TiC is developed at the interface close to the carbon substrates. The growth of TiC layer is mainly controlled by the diffusion of carbon from the substrates into the liquid filler through the TiC layer formed. The interface evolution of the graphite/CuCrZr joints has been discussed. The electrical resistivity of the joining area is relatively low, which highly meets the requirement for the carbon commutator applications.     

Ni segregation in the interfacial (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 intermetallic layer of Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni/Cu ball grid array (BGA) joints

Ni segregation in the interfacial (Cu,Ni)₆Sn₅ intermetallic layer of Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni/Cu BGA solder joints was investigated by using synchrotron micro X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). Compared to Sn-0.7Cu/Cu BGA joints, Ni containing solder show suppressed Cu₃Sn growth in both reflow and annealed conditions. In as-reflowed Sn-0.7Cu-0.05Ni/Cu BGA joints, Ni was relatively homogenously distributed within interfacial (Cu,Ni)₆Sn₅. During subsequent annealing, the diffusion of Ni in Cu₆Sn₅ was limited and it remained concentrated adjacent the Cu substrate where it contributes to the suppression of Cu₃Sn formation at the interface between the Cu substrate and Cu₆Sn₅ intermetallics.

Abstract：

Domestic ceramics and lCrl8Ni9Ti stainless steel were brazed using Ag-Cu-Ti filler metal. Microstructure, the component of characteristic points and the phases of brazing joints were studied by scanning electronic microscopy ( SEM) , energy distribution spectrometer (EDS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that several kinds of intermetallics such as TiO_2, TiO, TiSi_2 , Ti_5 Si_3 and Fe_2 Ti were formed. The interfacial structure of joints is 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel/Fez Ti/Ag[ s, s] + Cu[s,s] + Fe_2Ti/TiO_2 + TiO + Ti_5Si_3 + TiSi_2/ceramics when brazing temperature and time are 850 ℃ and 5min, respectively. The depth of interfacial reactive layer increases and the ratio of matrix phase Ag [ s, s ], Cu [ s, s ] which are in the middle of interface reduces evidently as brazing temperature is very high or holding time is very long.     

Interfacial Behavior and Its Effect on Mechanical Properties of C<Subscript>f</Subscript>/SiC Composite/TiAl6V4 Joint Brazed with TiZrCuNi

In order to characterize the interfacial behavior of brazed joints and offer theoretical basis for the applications of TiZrCuNi-based composite fillers, C_f/SiC composite and TC4 were brazed by TiZrCuNi filler, and the microstructures of joints versus temperature and versus holding time were systematically studied in this paper. The mechanical properties of brazed joints were measured and analyzed. The results showed that Ti(Zr)C, Ti₅Si₃, Ti₂Cu, TiNi, TiZrCu₂, Ti₂(Cu,Ni) and Ti(s,s) were the predominant compounds in the joints. Brazing temperature had a distinct effect on the microstructures of joints: with the increase of brazing temperature, the structure of brazed joints was reduced from four parts to three parts, and the wavy reaction layer became continuous and much thicker. While holding time had a similar but weaker effect on microstructures: with the extension of holding time, the reaction layer became thicker, but it was difficult to induce the decrease in the structural parts of joint. The thickness of reaction layer determined the mechanical properties of joints. The results were beneficial for the selection of reinforced phases and the design of composite fillers to obtain better mechanical performances. When the brazing temperature was 940 °C and the holding time was 25 min, the maximum shear strength of brazed joints attained a value of 143.2 MPa.     

Mechanical Properties and the Microstructure of Al2O3/Al/Al2O3 Joints with the Surface Modification of Alumina by a Thin Layer of Ti + Nb

Al₂O₃/Al/Al₂O₃ joints were formed by liquid-state bonding of alumina substrates covered with a thin Ti + Nb coating of 900 nm thickness with the use of an Al interlayer of 30 μm at 973 K under a vacuum of 0.2 mPa for 5 min. The bond strength of the joints was examined by a four-point bending test at 295, 373, and 473 K. Optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopies were applied for detailed characterization of the interface structure and failure characteristics of fractured joint surfaces. The analysis of the results has shown that (i) bonding occurred due to the formation of a reactive interface on the metal side of the joint in the presence of Al₃Nb(Ti) precipitates and (ii) modification of Al₂O₃ by a thin layer of Ti + Nb increases the hardness at the interface and makes it possible to achieve reliable joints working at elevated temperatures.
