Abstract:Al2O3 ceramic/Fe-Ni-Co joints are achieved using Ag-Cu-Ti filler alloy in the study to investigate the dependence of the joint microstructure and mechanical performance on the Ti content. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-Ray spectrometer (EDS), X-Ray diffractometer (XRD) and electronic universal testing machine are used to characterize the microstructure and mechanical performance of the joints. The results show that the increase of Ti content can obviously intensify the interaction between Al2O3 and Ag-Cu-Ti. A layer of Ti-Al and Ti-O products is observed at the interface of Al2O3/AgCuTi. The tensile strength of Al2O3/AgCuTi/Fe-Ni-Co joint increase as the Ti content increased from 2 wt% to 8 wt.%, and the tensile strength of brazing joint reached the maximum value of 78MPa. Good reaction layer formed by metallurgical reaction at the interface of Al2O3/AgCu4Ti, and the typical microstructure is Al2O3/TiAl+Ti3O5/NiTi+Cu3Ti+Ag(s,s)/Ag(s,s)+Cu(s,s)+(Cu,Ni)/Fe-Ni-Co brazed at 890oC for 5 min. Compared with AgCu4Ti filler, the microstructure of the joints change slightly when addition of the active element Ti to 8 wt.% except for the increase of the thickness of reaction layer adjacent to Al2O3 ceramic and accompanied the formation of TiO and Ti3Al in the Al2O3/Ag-Cu-Ti interface.
