Releasing the residual stress of C_(f)/SiC-GH3536 joint by designing an Ag-Cu-Ti+Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) composite filler metal

Due to native character of thermal expansion coefficient(CTE)mismatch between C_(f)/SiC and GH3536,achieving high strength joint was a huge challenge for C_(f)/SiC-GH3536 joints.Herein,a composite filler metal of Ag-Cu-Ti+Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) was developed to join C_(f)/SiC and GH3536.This work introduced Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) to Ag-Cu-Ti system as a negative thermal expansion(NTE)reinforcing phase to release joint residual stress.Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) was evenly distributed in the brazing seam and reacted with Ti to form Ti_(3)O_(5) reaction layer.The results of finite element analysis showed that the residual stress of the joints was effectively released by introducing Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) reinforcing phase,and the mises stress was decreased from447 to 401 MPa.The maximum shear strength of the C_(f)/SiC-GH3536 joint brazed with Ag-Cu-Ti+6 vol%Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) filler alloys was 64 MPa,which was about 2.6 times higher than that of Ag-Cu-Ti alloys.The results of this study provide a promising strategy for the introduction of new Sc_(2)(WO_(4))_(3) reinforcing phase in Ag-Cu-Ti system,and improve the reliability and feasibility of composite brazing alloy in brazing filed.
