The diffusionbonded joints are evaluated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） and microhardness test. Intermetallic compounds at the interface zone are detected by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. Interracial microstructure of TiNi＋CuTi3＋α-Ti forms at the Ni/Ti-6Al-4V transition zone and Cu （ss. Ni） solid solution forms between Ni/Cu interlayers. The thickness of reaction layer （TiNi） increases with bonding time by a parabolic law： y^2=Koexp（-150000/RT）t, and K0=2.g×10^-7 m^2/s is figured out from the experiment data.展开更多

Themicrostructure of joint was analyzed by means of optical-microscope, scanning electron microscope(SEM) in order to study the relationship between the macro-properties of joint and themicrostructure. The results show that diffusion welding with Ni interlayer can be used for weldingaluminum matrix composites SiC_p/ZL101 successfully. Under the welding parameters T=560℃, P=5 MPa,t=60 min, H=14μm, the bonding strength of welded joint can up to 121 MPa. Moreover, the thicknessof interlayer should match with the size of reinforced particles. If the thickness of interlayer istoo thin, it would have no effect on the welded joint beneficially. If the thickness of interlayeris too thick, it would cause the 'no-reinforcement zone' to appear.展开更多
