A novel approach of brazing porous W and Mo using three clad Ti-Ni-Nb foils has been performed in the experiment. Clad Ti-Ni-Nb filler foils are featured with low brazing temperature of below 1350°C. Both W and Mo are completely soluble with β-Ti and Nb, and the Ni addition into the braze alloy is served as a melting point depressant (MPD). Decreased brazing temperature and/or time are necessary in order to minimize infiltration of the molten braze into the porous W substrate. According to the experimental results, Ti-Ni-Nb ternary alloys are promising filler metals in low-temperature brazing porous W and Mo.

In this study, a new boron and silicon free braze alloy, based on Ni-Co-Zr-Hf-Cr-Ti-Al, was used to repair IN 738 superalloy employing a wide gap brazing (WGB) process under two process conditions. It was found that using a combination of Hf and Zr primarily as melting point depressants the amount of each melting point depressant (MPD) could effectively be reduced while still achieving a relatively low liquidus. During WGB process, the new braze alloy was able to bond IN 738 filler powder particles to each other and to the substrate cast IN 738 and achieve defect free joint. The microstructure analysis showed the presence of Zr-containing phase(s) remained in WGB joint, however, the hardness of the Zr-containing phase(s) was similar to that of superalloy substrate. Extended brazing cycle had limited effect on reducing the Zr-containing phase(s); rather it encouraged the formation of larger eutectic γ/γ′ phases.

ABSTRACTThe direct manufacture of metal parts by rapid prototyping often involves building a porous skeleton from a metal powder. In this work, a method termed Homogeneous Steel Infiltration has been developed for infiltrating steel skeletons to make conventional tool steel alloys. The method uses a gated infiltration route that uses as the infiltrant a steel alloy with a lower melting point than the base powder. The infiltrant liquid may use carbon and/or silicon as a melting point depressant. Premature freeze-off of the steel infiltrant is avoided by operating at a temperature where some liquid is stable at chemical equilibrium. The compositions of the skeleton and infiltrant and the infiltration temperature are selected by using computational thermodynamics. Examples of successful infiltrations using D2 and A3 tool steels as target compositions are shown. The thermodynamic design method enables suitable parameters to make other tool steels, some stainless steels and manganese steels.

Vacuum brazing of Cemented Tungsten Carbide (WC-Co) and JIS SCM440 steel using Cu-Sn braze alloy has been studied. The effect of Sn content in the filler metals on the properties of brazed joints was investigated. The specimens were brazed under 1050°C to 1110°C for 5 to 15 minutes. The experimental results show that the maximum shear strength is 341±15MPa for the joints brazed at 1080°C for 10 min by using Cu-9Sn filler. Shear strength of the joints brazed at 1050°C and 1080°C increased as Sn content added to the braze alloy. However, joints brazed at 1110°C showed a decline in shear strength as the increase of Sn content. From SEM micrographs, a Fe-Co-Cu alloy layer was formed at WC-Co/Cu-Sn interface and the property of the layer was affected by brazing temperature and Sn content.

Transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of Ni3Al-based superalloy IC10 was carried out using the interlayer based on the base metal which added B and Hf as the melting point depressant elements. The effect of bonding temperature (1250 – 1270 °C) on the microstructure evolution of bonding joints were investigated. Microstructure of bonding joint composed of isothermally solidification zone (ISZ) formed γ’ phase and athermally solidified zone (ASZ) which consists of newly formed γ+γ’ reticular eutectic among with borides and carbides. Boride precipitates are not formed in diffusion affected zone (DAZ) and the boundary between ASZ and ISZ become not obvious. Isothermally solidification rate decreases as the increase of the bonding temperature.

The n-tetradecylacrylate-vinyl acetate copolymer (PPV) was prepared from n-tetradecylacrylate and vinyl acetate. The PPV was employed as pour point depressant to improve the low-temperature fluidity of the -20# diesel from Daqing Petrochemical Company. The result indicated that the solidification (SP) and the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) were affected largely by PPV. And when mass fraction of PPV -14(copolymerization conditions: 80 °C,w(benzoyl peroxide)1%(total weight of raw materials), n(vinyl acetate)∶n(n- tetradecanolacrylate) = 4∶1 ) in diesel fuel was 0.1%wt, the SP reduced by 15.0 °C, the CFPP reduced by 6.0 °C simultaneously; We analysise the different molecular weight of PPV-14, and discover that the molecular weight of PPV-14 is ralated to the the low-temperature fluidity of the -20# diesel from Daqing Petrochemical Company. When mass fraction of PPV -14(molecular weight is 15000, distribution coefficient is 3.11) in diesel fuel was 0.1% wt, the SP reduced by 18.0 °C, the CFPP reduced by 7.0 °C, simultaneously.
