The [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] cermet to 40Cr steel joint was conducted by liquid phase diffusion bonding under the auxiliary pulse current and using 73Cu–27Ti amorphous foil/Cu foil/72Ag–28Cu foil sandwich foils as the interlayer. The effect of holding time and duty ratio of the pulse current on interfacial structure at the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] cermet side and joint strength were studied. The results showed that the longer bonding time can improve the melting of Cu–Ti foil and the dissolution of Cu interlayer to obtain a higher joint strength. The interfacial structure was composed of the TiCu compounds and Cu solid solution at the cermet side, and [Formula: see text] compounds and Cu solid solution at the Cu interlayer side. The auxiliary pulse current was beneficial to reach a higher joint strength in a shorter holding time. A higher duty ratio would accelerate the dissolution and reaction of cermet to the interlayer, but continuous increase on the duty ratio would result in the over dissolution of cermet into the interface to produce the Ti(C, N) and [Formula: see text] ceramic particles and the decrease on the joint strength.

The effects of brazing time on elements diffusion and bonding strength of vacuum brazed joints of 15-5PH stainless steel using filler metal BNi-2 were investigated. The results showed that the brazing time determined the content of diffused elements. If holding time is short the distribution of melting point depressants (MPD) concentrated on the middle zone of the joint, and the generation of brittle phases in the joint was unavoidable. With increasing time, MPD can diffuse to base metal adequately and full solid solution of nickel formed in the brazing joint. Joint strength firstly increased and then decreased with prolonging holding time.

In this study, reliable Ti2AlNb/high-Nb-containing TiAl alloy (TAN) joints were achieved by diffusion bonding. The effects of bonding temperature and holding time on the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties were fully investigated. The interfacial structure of joints bonded at various temperatures and holding times was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the typical microstructure of the Ti2AlNb substrate/O phase/Al(Nb,Ti)2 + Ti3Al/Ti3Al/TAN substrate was obtained at 970 °C for 60 min under a pressure of 5 MPa. The formation of the O phase was earlier than the Al(Nb,Ti)2 phase when bonding temperature was relatively low. When bonding temperature was high enough, the Al(Nb,Ti)2 phase appeared earlier than the O phase. With the increase of bonding temperature and holding time, the Al(Nb,Ti)2 phase decomposed gradually. As the same time, continuous O phase layers became discontinuous and the Ti3Al phase coarsened. The maximum bonding strength of 66.1 MPa was achieved at 970 °C for 120 min.

Vacuum diffusion bonding of as-extruded AZ61 magnesium alloy was investigated according to atomic diffusion theory. The effects of the diffusion temperature and holding time on the quality of the bonding joint are investigated by means of microstructure analysis, shearing strength test and microhardness testing. The shearing test results showed that the maximum shearing strength reached 51.95MPa with the temperature of 470°C and the holding time of 90min. And the diffusion temperature and holding time have a great effect on the quality of the bonding joints. The microhardness measurement results showed that the microhardness value at the bonding joint was maximum.

Ti3Al-Nb alloy (Ti-24Al-15Nb) was welded by a pulsed laser welding system without and with pure Nb filler metal. The results indicated that pure Nb filler metal had profound effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the laser-welded joints. The joint without filler metal consisted of the weld zone (α’2 + B2), heat affected zone HAZ1 (α2 + B2), HAZ2 (α2 + O + B2) and base metal (α2 + O + B2), and gas pores were generated in the weld resulting in the deterioration of the joint strength (330 MPa) and elongation (1.9%). When the Nb filler metal was used, the weld microstructure (NbTi solid solution + O + B2) was obtained, and the joint properties were significantly improved, which was associated with the strengthening effect of the NbTi solid solution, O phase precipitation and the slip transmission between O and B2 phases, and the restraining of the formation of martensite (α’2) and gas pores in the weld. The strength (724 MPa) and elongation (5.1%) of the joint increased by 119.4% and 168.4% compared with those of the joint without filler metal, and the joint strength was able to reach 81.7% of the base metal strength (886 MPa). It is favorable to use pure Nb filler metal for improving the mechanical properties of laser-welded Ti3Al-Nb alloy joints.

Aluminum metal matrix composites are materials frequently used in the automotive and aerospace industries due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, formability, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. However, despite the unique properties of these materials, the lack of a reliable joining method has restricted their full potential in engineering applications. This article explores the effect of bonding time on transient liquid phase diffusion bonding of Al6061 containing 15 vol.% alumina particles using a 5 μm electrodeposited Ni-coating containing nano-sized alumina particles as the interlayer. Joint formation was attributed to the solid-state diffusion of Ni into the Al6061 alloy followed by eutectic formation and isothermal solidification at the joint interface. Examination of the joint region using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction showed the formation of eutectic phases such as Al3Ni, Al9FeNi, and Ni3Si within the joint zone. The results indicate that the addition of nano-size reinforcements into the interlayer can be used to improve joint strength. The joint strength recorded was 136 MPa at a bonding time of 10 min with a marginal increase in the shear strength when the bonding time is increased to 30 min.

This work fabricated a double hollow structural component of Mg-8.3Gd-2.9Y-0.8Zn-0.2Zr alloy by superplastic forming (SPF) and reaction-diffusion bonding (RDB). The superplastic characteristic and mechanical properties of Mg-8.3Gd-2.9Y-0.8Zn-0.2Zr alloy sheets at 250–450 °C were studied. Tensile tests showed that the maximum elongation of tensile specimens was about 1276.3% at 400 °C under a strain rate of 1 × 10−3 s−1. Besides, the effect of bonding temperature and interface roughness on microstructure and mechanical properties of the reaction diffusion-bonded joints with a Cu interlayer was investigated. With the increase of temperature, the diffusion coefficient of Cu increases, and the diffusion transition region becomes wider, leading to tightening bonding of the joint. However, the bonding quality of the joint will deteriorate due to grain size growth at higher temperatures. Shear tests showed that the highest strength of the joints was 152 MPa (joint efficiency = 98.7%), which was performed at 460 °C.

Abstract The migrating fluid-mineral interface provides an opportunity for the uptake of trace elements as solid solutions in the newly formed crystal lattice during the non-equilibrium growth of the crystal. However, mineral nanoparticles could precipitate directly from the interfacial fluid when it evolves to a supersaturated situation. To better understand the role of mineral nanoparticles in this scenario, this study focuses on a well-documented magnetite with oscillatory zoning from a skarn deposit by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our results show that the Al concentration in magnetite measured on a micrometer-scale is caused by three different effects: Al solid solution, Al-rich nanometer-sized lamellae, and zinc spinel nanoparticles in the host magnetite. Here, we propose a genetic relationship among the three different phases mentioned above. At first, a continuous increase of the Al concentration in the interfacial fluid can be incorporated into the crystal lattice of magnetite forming a solid solution. During cooling in a later stage, aluminum in magnetite is oversaturated and exsolution of hercynite (Al-rich lamellae) occurs from the host magnetite. If the Al concentration at the fluid-magnetite interface still increases during further growth of magnetite, the substitution of Fe by Al has gradually reached saturation so that aluminum cannot be incorporated in the magnetite crystal structure any longer. Using the magnetite lattice as a template, nucleation of abundant zinc spinel nanoparticles occurs. This will, in turn, lead to a gradual depletion of Al concentration in the interfacial fluid until the available ions for zinc spinel nucleation and growth have been used up. As a result, the migrating fluid-magnetite interface will enrich the Al concentration in the interfacial fluid until the available ion concentration is sufficient for nucleation of zinc spinel phase again. The fluid-mineral interface in this mechanism has been repeatedly utilized during crystal growth, providing an efficient way for the uptake of trace element from a related undersaturated bulk fluid.
