Among all types of brazing fillers, Ti-based fillers show satisfactory joint strengths in brazing titanium alloys. However, the major concern in using such fillers is the formation of Cu/Ni/Ti intermetallic compound(s) in the joint. In this study, a Ti–15–3 alloy was vacuum brazed with a clad Ti–35Ni–25Nb foil. The brazed zone consisted of a Ti2Ni intermetallic compound in a (β-Ti,Nb)-rich matrix for specimen brazing at 1000 °C/600 s. Raising brazing temperature and time resulted in the Ti2Ni dissolving into the (β-Ti,Nb)-rich matrix. For the specimen brazing at 1100 °C/600s, Ti2Ni could only be observed at the grain boundaries of the (β-Ti,Nb)-rich matrix. After further raising it to 1200 °C/600 s, the Ti2Ni intermetallic compound was all dissolved into the (β-Ti,Nb)-rich phase. The average shear strength was significantly raised from 140 (1000 °C/600 s) to 620 MPa (1100 °C/3600 s). Crack initiation/propagation in the brittle Ti2Ni compound with the cleavage fractograph were changed into the Ti–15–3 base metal with a ductile dimple fractograph. The advantage of using Nb in the TiNiNb filler foil was its ability to stabilize β-Ti, and most of the Ni in the braze alloy was dissolved into the β-Ti matrix. The brazed joint could be free of any intermetallic phases with a proper brazing cycle applied, and the joint was suitable for a few harsh applications, e.g., repeated stresses and impact loadings.

The purpose of this research is focused on vacuum furnace brazing Incoloy 800 (IN-800) using the copper filler foil. Microstructural evolution and shear strength of brazed joints for various brazing conditions has been evaluated in the experiment. The Cu-rich matrix dominates entire brazed joint. The width of Cu-rich matrix is decreased with increasing the brazing temperature and/or time. Average shear strength of the joint is approximately 215 MPa. Dimple dominated fracture is widely observed for the specimen brazed below 1160oC. However, cleavage dominated fracture is found for the specimen brazed at 1200oC. It is advised that copper brazing IN-800 alloy should be confined below 1160oC.

Infrared vacuum brazing of CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) using BNi-2 and MBF601 fillers has been investigated. Both brazes show poor wettability at temperatures only 20 °C above their liquidus temperatures. However, the wettability of BNi-2 and MBF601 fillers on CoCrFeMnNi HEA is greatly improved with increasing the test temperatures, 50 °C above their liquidus temperatures. The BNi-2 brazed joints are dominated by Ni-rich matrix with huge CrB and a few tiny boride precipitates. Average shear strengths of joints increase with increasing brazing temperature and/or time, and fracture location changes from blocky CrB in the brazed zone to grain boundary boride in the substrate. The MBF601 brazed joints are composed of CoCrFeMnNi-based matrix, particles of B/Co/Cr/Fe/Mn/Ni/P compounds, and some phosphides form along the grain boundaries of the substrate. The specimen brazed with MBF601 filler foil at 1050 °C for 600 s has the highest average shear strength of 321 MPa, while that brazed at 1080 °C for 600 s has a lower average shear strength of 271 MPa due to the presence of solidification shrinkage voids.

In order to overcome the over formed intermetallic compound and the grain boundary penetration phenomenon in superalloys brazed joint using BNi-2 filler, the three variable portion of BNi2+BNi-5 composite filler is used to vacuum braze GH2132 superalloy. The results showed that the addition of BNi5 filler can decrease the formation of intermetallic compounds. For composite brazing filler of BNi2+40%BNi5, the brazing seam mainly composes of solid solution phase. The amounts of intermetallic compounds increased with the increase of brazing temperature and brazing clearance. The microhardness of the intermetallic compound is about 380~400 HV which is detrimental to the mechanical properties of the brazing joint.

Intermetallics and superalloys brazing development is a current topic owing the extending use of these alloys in industrial applications. In this work a γ-TiAl alloy was joined to Inconel 718 by active metal brazing, using Incusil-ABA as filler. Joining was performed at 730 °C, 830 °C and 930 °C, with a 10 min dwelling time. The interfaces were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). For all processing conditions, the reaction between the base materials and the braze alloy produced multilayered interfaces. For all processing temperatures tested (Ag), (Cu), AlNi2Ti and AlCu2Ti were identified at the interface. Raising the brazing temperature increased the thickness of the interface and coarsened its microstructure. The increase of the extension of the interface was essentially due to the growth of the reaction layers formed near each base material, which were found to be mainly composed of intermetallic compounds. The mechanical behavior of the joints, at room temperature, was assessed by microhardness and shear tests. For all processing conditions the hardness decreases from periphery towards the Ag-rich centre of the joints. Brazing at 730 °C for 10 min produced the joints with the highest average shear strength (228±83 MPa). SEM and EDS analysis of the fracture surfaces revealed that fracture of joints always occurred across the interface, preferentially through the hard layer, essentially composed of AlNi2Ti, resulting from the reaction between Inconel 718 and the braze alloy.

In this work, the DD98M single crystal superalloys were brazed to themselves using a Pd-Si composite filler. The effect of brazing temperature and soaking time on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the joints was studied. The microstructure and phase constitution in the joint were identified by the SEM and EDS analysis. The results indicated that the joint obtained was constituted by DD98M/zone 2/zone 1/zone 2/DD98M. The zone 1 was primarily made up of the Ni (Pd, Cr, Co) (s.s), Pd4Si, Pd (Ni, Ti, Al) (s.s) and Pd-rich Ni (Pd, Cr, Co) (s.s), while the zone 2 consisted of the Ni (Pd, Cr, Co) (s.s) and Al2Pd5. During the brazing process, increasing the brazing temperature strengthened the fluidity of the liquid filler, which was favorable to eliminating the solidified pores in the brazing seam. Furthermore, a higher brazing temperature would cause the phases in the zones 1 and 2 to be coarsened remarkably. When setting the brazing temperature to 1060 °C, extending the soaking time made the amount of Pd (Ni, Ti, Al) (s.s) decrease, whereas the amount of Pd4Si increased, because the peritectic reaction between the Pd (Ni, Ti, Al) (s.s) and remnant liquid filler was enhanced. Among the brazing process parameters under investigation, the maximum joint average shear strength obtained reached 338 MPa when the joint was brazed at 1060 °C for 30 min. A ductile fracture mode happened during the shear tests under a joining condition. The work performed can provide valuable data to design the single crystal superalloy brazed joint.

C/C composite was brazed to TiAl intermetallic compound using a commercial BNi-2 brazing filler metal under vacuum brazing condition. The brazing temperature was 1030~1150 °C and the holding time was 20 min. The joint interfacial microstructures and mechanical properties were studied, and the fracture behavior and joining mechanism were also investigated. The effect of brazing temperature on the joint shear strength was explored. The results showed that a perfect interface joint can be obtained by using BNi-2 to braze C/C and TiAl. During brazing, Ti, Cr, and other carbide forming elements diffused to C/C composite side, forming Cr3C2, Cr7C3, TiC, and other carbides, and realizing metallurgical joining between the brazing filler metal and C/C composite. The microstructure of the interface of C/C composite and TiAl intermetallic compound joint is as follows: TiAl alloy → TiAl + AlNi3 → AlNi2Ti → Ni(s, s) + Ti3Al + Ni3Si → Ni(s, s) + Ni3(Si, B) + CrB → Ni(s, s) + Ni3Si + TiCr2 → (Ti, Cr)C → C/C composite. When the holding time is fixed, with the increase of brazing temperature, the shear strength of the joint increases first and then decreases. The maximum average room temperature shear strength of the brazed joint was 11.62 MPa, while the brazing temperature was 1060 °C and the holding time was 20 min.

Abstract In this paper, a new type of AlSiMgCuNiAg filler metal was developed. The solidus temperature of the filler metal is 509.1°C and the liquidus temperature is 531.3°C. The filler metal has a good wetting and spreading effect on the surface of 6061 aluminum alloy. The CuAl2 phase in the brazing seam was greatly aggregated after brazed, while the CuAl2 phase was reduced and Mg2Si strengthening phase was formed when the brazed joints with heat treatment. The average shear strength of the brazed joint without heat treatment was 47.1MPa, and the average shear strength of the brazed joint with heat treatment reached to 108.7Mpa. The strength of the brazed joint with heat treatment was increased by about 131% relative to the strength of the brazed joint without heat treatment.

A Ni-P plated layer of 20 μm thickness containing 11 wt.% P was formed on the surface of a stainless steel (SUS304) plate by electroplating. The microstructure and joint strength of the brazed joint with the electroplated Ni-11P layer were investigated. The results indicated that the filler metal was homogeneously distributed between the SUS304 plates and no voids or flaws formed in the brazed filler zone. Fe-Ni-Cr solid solutions were formed at the brazed interface. Moreover, P was mainly concentrated in such brazed filler zone to form P-containing phases. The average shear strength of the brazed joints was determined to be 47.3 MPa. The results demonstrated that the brazing of SUS304 plates using the electroplated Ni-11P layer as the filler metal was successfully realized.

The aim of the research work was to characterize the soldering alloy type Bi-Ag-Ti and to study the direct soldering of silicon and copper. Bi11Ag1.5Ti solder has a broad melting interval. Its scope depends mainly on the content of silver and titanium. The solder begins to melt at the temperature of 262.5 ∘C and full melting is completed at 405 ∘C. The solder microstructure consists of a bismuth matrix with local eutectics. The silver crystals and titanium phases as BiTi2 and Bi9Ti8 are segregated in the matrix. The average tensile strength of the solder varies around 42 MPa. The bond with silicon is formed due to interaction of active titanium with the silicon surface at the formation of a reaction layer, composed of a new product, TiSi2. In the boundary of the Cu/solder an interaction between the liquid bismuth solder and the copper substrate occurs, supported by the eutectic reaction. The mutual solubility between the liquid bismuth solder is very limited, on both the Bi and the Cu side. The average shear strength in the case of a combined joint of Si/Cu fabricated with Bi11Ag1.5Ti solder is 43 MPa.
