Abstract:
The composite fillers with different proportions of Cu and B powders were used to braze Al
2O
3 to TC4 alloy at 930℃ for 10 min.The joining and microstructure of Al
2O
3/TC4 alloy joints were observed and analyzed by SEM and EDS.The results show that Al
2O
3/TC4 alloy joint interfacial microstructure is Al
2O
3/Ti
3(Cu, Al)
3O/Ti
2Cu+Ti
2(Cu, Al)/Ti+Ti
2(Cu, Al)+Ti(Cu, Al)+AlCu
2Ti+Ti
2Cu/Ti
2Cu+AlCu
2Ti+TiB/Ti+Ti
2Cu/TC4 alloy.Mutual diffusion of Cu atoms from composite filler and Ti atoms from TC4 alloly occurs during brazing process.Cu-Ti compounds with different components were formed in Al
2O
3/TC4 alloy joints.B reacts with Ti atoms in liquid, and in situ synthesizes TiB whiskers in joint, which mainly distribute into Ti
2Cu and AlCu
2Ti.With the increasing of TiB content, Ti
2(Cu, Al) content increases, and becomes continuous gradually.At the same time, that moves to Al
2O
3 side.
