Reliable ceramics/metal joints have an extensive application in the aerospace and biomedical area. However, ZrO2ceramic has not been investigated systematically compared to the Si3N4and Al2O3ceramic. Therefore, successful brazing of ZrO2ceramic and Ti-6A-4V alloy was achieved by using a binary active Ti-28Ni filler metal in this paper. The effect of holding time on the microstructure of ZrO2 ceramic/filler metal interface and mechanical properties of brazed joints was investigated. The results indicated that the representative interfacial microstructure was ZrO2ceramic/Ti2O/Ni2Ti4O/Ti-rich phase/Ti2Ni+α-Ti. With the increase of holding time, the thickness of Ti-rich layer in the interface of ZrO2/Ti-6Al-4Vjoint decreased obviously due to the diffusion of Ti atoms. Substantial brittle intermetallic compounds Ti2Ni and Ni2Ti4O were formed in the joint, which were detrimental to the mechanical properties of the brazed joints. The maximum shear strength of joint was 112.7 MPa when brazed at 1060 °C for 10 min.

Titanium and zirconia (ZrO2) ceramics are widely used in biomedical fields. This study aims to achieve reliable brazed joints of titanium/ZrO2 using biocompatible Au filler for implantable medical products. The effects of brazing temperature and holding time on the interfacial microstructures and mechanical properties of titanium/Au/ZrO2 joints were fully investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that the typical interfacial microstructure of the titanium/Au/ZrO2 joint was titanium/Ti3Au layer/TiAu layer/TiAu2 layer/TiAu4 layer/TiO layer/ZrO2 ceramic. With an increasing brazing temperature or holding time, the thickness of the Ti3Au + TiAu + TiAu2 layer increased gradually. The growth of the TiO layer was observed, which promoted metallurgical bonding between the filler metal and ZrO2 ceramic. The optimal shear strength of ~35.0 MPa was obtained at 1150 °C for 10 min. SEM characterization revealed that cracks initiated and propagated along the interface of TiAu2 and TiAu4 reaction layers.

Ti3SiC2 ceramic and copper were successfully vacuum brazed using Ag-Cu-Ti filler and Ag-Cu-Ti filler with copper mesh, respectively. In this study, the effects of copper mesh and brazing parameters on the interface microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were systematically studied. The results revealed that the typical interfacial microstructure of joint was Ti3SiC2 ceramic/Ti5Si3 + TiC + Ti2Cu + Ti3Cu/Ag (s, s) + Cu (s, s)/eutectic Ag-Cu + TiSiCu/Cu. A maximum shear strength of joint obtained at a brazing temperature of 870 °C and a holding time of 10 min can reached up to 66.3 ± 1.2 MPa, which was 34.7% higher than that without copper mesh. The improvement of mechanical property was attributed to the extraordinary plasticity of copper mesh, which reduced the residual stress caused by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion at the interface of joints. As the brazing temperature and holding time further increased, the shear strength of joints decreased due to the excessively thick reaction layer of intermetallic compounds.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of brazing SiC ceramic with Zr-Cu filler metal under different brazing parameters (brazing temperature, holding time) were investigated. The phase of the joint reaction interface between Zr-Cu filler metal and SiC ceramic was characterized by XRD, the microstructure and fracture morphology of the brazing SiC ceramic joint were analyzed by SEM with EDS, and the strength of the joint was evaluated by compression shear test. The results show that the brazing join between SiC ceramic and Zr-Cu filler metal can be realized at the brazing temperature of 1100 °C~1300 °C, and the main products of interface reaction are ZrC and Zr2Si. The shear strength of the joint increases with the brazing temperature, and reaches the highest at 1200 °C. The thickness of interface reaction layer increases with the increase of holding time at brazing temperature of 1200 °C. Thickness of the interface reaction layer is 2.9 μm when the joint is holding for 20 min, and the maximum shear strength of the corresponding brazed SiC ceramic joint is 57 MPa.

Vacuum brazing of TiAl intermetallic alloy to Si3N4 ceramics was performed using Ag-28Cu (wt.%) filler alloy. The brazing joints obtained at different brazing temperatures were studied in this work. The microstructure and the shear strength were analyzed in detail. The results show that the brazed joints could be divided into three regions: AlCu2Ti reaction layer near the Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb alloy, a typical Ag-Cu eutectic structure and a thin continuous TiN + Ti5Si3 reaction layer near the Si3N4 ceramics. The microstructure varied as the brazing temperature was increased from 1153 K/15 min to 1193 K/15 min. The shear strength of the joints first increased as the brazing temperature increased from 1153 K to 1173 K, and then decreased. The maximum shear strength reached 105.5 MPa at 1173 K/15 min and the mechanism was discussed.

TiAl alloy was successfully brazed with Ag-CuO filler in air atmosphere under simple technical conditions. The wettability of a series of Ag-CuO fillers on TiAl was analyzed. Ag-2mol%CuO filler possessed good wetting behavior on TiAl alloy. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the brazed joints were investigated. Oxide layers can be found on both sides, which can be divided into external TiO2-rich layer and internal Al2O3-rich layer. The maximum shear strength of the joint was obtained at 1020 °C holding for 20 min.

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.

C/SiC composite and TC4 alloy were successfully brazed using 70Ag28Cu2Ti (wt. %) as filler metal at 820 °C~920 °C for 5 min ~30 min. The effects of brazing parameters on the microstructures, phase composition, shear strength of the brazed joints were investigated by SEM, XRD. The mechanical performances of the brazed joints were measured by a universal mechanical testing machine. The results show that successful joining of C/SiC composite and TC4 alloy owes to interfacial reactions between the brazing alloy and the parent materials, and resultantly produce TiC, Ti5Si3 and Ti-Cu serial compounds at the interfaces; the interfacial structure of the brazed joint is C/SiC composite / TiC / Ti5Si3 /Ag (s.s) +Cu (s.s) / TiCu2 / Ti3Cu4 / TiCu / Ti2Cu / TC4 from C/SiC composite side to TC4 alloy side; the maximum shear strength of the brazed joint is 53.3 MPa at 860°C for 10min.

In this study, brazing AA6061 to Q235 steel using flame brazing was performed with 70.9 wt.% CsF-0.5 wt.% RbF-28.6 wt.% AlF3 fluxes doped with GaF3, ZnF2, Zn(BF4)2 and Ga2O3 nanoparticles, matched with a Zn-15Al filler metal, and the spreadability of the filler metal and the mechanical properties of brazed joints were investigated at the same time. The results showed suitable amounts of GaF3, ZnF2, Zn(BF4)2 and Ga2O3 doped into the base flux could strengthen the filler metal in wetting and spreading on the surface of aluminum alloy and steel to different degrees. The suitable ranges of GaF3, ZnF2, Zn(BF4)2 and Ga2O3, respectively, were 0.0075–0.01 wt.%, 0.0075–0.01 wt.%, 0.0075–0.01 wt.% and 0.009–0.01 wt.%, and the maximum spreading area was obtained via doping with GaF3. The shear strength of brazed joints reached the peak at 126 MPa when 0.075 wt.% GaF3 was added. Comparative tests proved that the activity of the CsF-RbF-AlF3 flux doped with GaF3 was the best. The reason was that the CsF-RbF-AlF3-GaF3 flux was competent in removing oxides of the base metal and decreasing the interfacial tension, in virtue of the activity of Ga3+ as well as F−.

Zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic and Nb were brazed using Ag-Cu-Ti powder without and with Mo-particle-reinforced. The effects of the brazing temperature, holding time and Mo content of the composite filler on the interfacial microstructures and joining mechanism of ZrO2/Nb brazed joints were investigated. By increasing the brazing temperature and holding time, the thickness of Ti3Cu3O layer increased and the thickness of TiO layer decreased, while the total thickness of the reaction layers increased slightly with the sufficient interfacial reaction. Meanwhile, the blocky Ti-Cu compounds gradually accumulate and grow up in the brazing seam. The calculated Ti activity increased first and then decreased as the Mo content was increased from 5 to 40 wt%. When the Mo content was 5wt%, only single Ti3Cu3O reaction layers formed adjacent to the ceramic substrate. By increasing of Mo particles, TiO layer became thicker. When 40 wt% Mo particles were added to the composite filler, Mo particles aggregated into larger clumps damaged the shear strength of brazing joint.

Titanium alloys used to be welded to gain good joint strength at 920 °C through diffusion bonding. However, due to the heat preservation at high temperatures for a long time, we obtain joints with great bond strength while the mechanical properties of the sheet are lost. In this paper, taking Ti6Al4V alloy as an example, we studied the microstructure of the surface under the different times of surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT). In addition, the microstructure and mechanical properties after diffusion bonding at 800 °C-5 MPa-1 h were also conducted. The results show that the shear strength of TC4 alloy welded joint after SMAT treatment is improved, and the maximum shear strength can reach 797.7 MPa, up about 32.4%
