Ni-based alloy was transient liquid phase bonded using a BNi-2 interlayer. The effect of bonding parameters on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the joints was investigated. With the increase of bonding temperature or time, the number of Ni-rich and Cr-rich borides and the grain size of precipitation zone decrease. Higher bonding temperature or longer bonding time is beneficial to the diffusion of melting point depressant elements （B and Si） from the PZ to the base metal and atomic interdiffusion between the base metal and the joint. The chemical composition and microstructure of the joints bonded at 1170 ℃ for 24 h are comparable to the base metal. The shear test results show that both the room and elevated temperature shear-strengths of the joints increase with increasing bonding time. However, the effect of bonding time on elevated temperature tensile-shear strength is greater than on room temperature tensile-shear strength.
An attempt to investigate the mechanical response to the torsional load, torsional tests of TiA1/steel brazed joints were conducted at room temperature. The TiAl/steel joints used in the torsional loading tests were brazed under the optimum parameters of 1 173 K and 300 s. Torsional strength, fracture path and the behavior of the reaction phases were studied. The results show that the average torsional strength of the joints with the diameters of 13mm, 16 mm and 20 mm is 136 N · m, 270 N · m and 490 N · m, respectively; which is 81.9% , 85.5% and 86. 2% of the TiAl base metal, respectively. Fracture path and crack propagation process analysis shows, when subjected to the torsional load, Ag-based solid solution is deformed and cracks germinate at the interface of Ag-based solid solutioa/AlCu2 Ti particles or Ag-based solid solution/AlCu2 Ti layers, grow up and propagate into the Al-Cu- Ti brittle reaction layers, then propagate into the TiAl base metal, subsequently result in failure.
采用热台原位加热法系统研究了不同保护气体流量对润湿铺展过程、润湿铺展最大半径、润湿铺展动力学以及界面组织结构的影响.保护气体为氩气,保护气体流量分别为5,10,15 m L/s;加热曲线设定最高温度为1 273K,保温时间120 s;采用扫描电镜、能谱分析、光学显微镜等分析了界面组织结构.结果表明,保护气体流量为15m L/s时,润湿铺展等效半径最大,原始半径0.9 mm的钎料铺展半径达到约1.4 mm.各种保护条件下,Ag Cu Ti/Ti Al体系的润湿铺展动力学过程相似,铺展半径与时间之间呈n次幂关系,即rn^kt;润湿铺展中钎料熔敷/Ti Al的界面结构为:残余钎料的富银相/Al Cu Ti三元相层(Al Cu2Ti,Al Cu Ti,Ti3Al)/Ti Al母材,保护条件对其影响不大.
Reactive brazing of TiAl-based intermetallics and Ni-based alloy with Ti foil as interlayer was investigated. The interfacial microstructure and shear strength of the joints were studied. According to the experimental observations, the molten interlayer reacts vigorously with base metals, forming several continuous reaction layers. The typical interfacial microstructure of the joint can be expressed as GH99/（Ni,Cr）ss（γ）/TiNi（β2）＋TiNi2Al（τ4）＋Ti2Ni（δ）/δ＋Ti3Al（α2）＋Al3NiTi2（τ3）/α2＋τ3/TiAl. The maximum shear strength is 258 MPa for the specimen brazed at 1000°C for 10 min. Higher brazing temperature or longer brazing time causes coarsening of the phases in the brazing seam and formation of brittle intermetallic layer, which greatly depresses the shear strength of the joints.
