Abstract:
The reliable joining between B
4C ceramic and high nitrogen steel was obtained using Ag-Cu-Ti filler metal. The wettability and spreadability of Ag-Cu-Ti filler metal with different Ti contents on B
4C ceramics and high nitrogen steel were studied, as well as the microstructure and shear strength of brazed joints were investigated. The results indicated that when the Ti content reaches 4.5wt%, the filler metal possess better wettability and spreadability effect on both B
4C ceramics and high nitrogen steel. The result of microstructure analysis indicated that TiC and TiB exist in the microstructure of brazing joints along ceramic side, while TiFe
2, TiN and CuTi
2 exist along steel side. As a result, the maximum shear strength of brazed joint reached 54 MPa,.
