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.

When products are brazed, the optimum brazing parameters are as follows: brazing temperature is 1215-1225 K; brazing time is 250-300 s. Four kinds of reaction products were observed during the brazing of Ti3Al alloys with the filler metal Cu-P, i.e., Ti3Al phase with a small quantity of Cu (Ti3Al(Cu)) formed close to the Ti3Al alloy; the TiCu intermetallic compounds layer and the Cu3P intermetallic compounds layer formed between Ti3Al(Cu) and the filler metal, and a Cu-base solid solution formed with the dispersed Cu3P in the middle of the joint. The interracial structure of brazed Ti3Al alloys joints with the filler metal Cu-P is Ti3Al/Ti3Al(Cu)/TiCu/Cu3P/Cu solid solution (Cu3P)/Cu3P/TiCu/Ti3Al(Cu)/Ti3Al, and this structure will not change with brazing time once it forms. The thickness of TiCu+Cu3P intermetallic compounds increases with brazing time according to a parabolic law. The activation energy Q and the growth velocity/to of reaction layer TiCu+Cu3P in the brazed joints of Ti3Al alloys with the filler metal Cu-P are 286 kJ/mol and 0.0821 m2/s, respectively, and growth formula was y2=O.O821exp(-34421.59/T)t.Careful control of the growth for the reaction layer TiCu+Cu3P can influence the final joint strength. The formation of the intermetallic compounds TiCu+Cu3P results in embrittlement of the joint and poor joint properties. The Cu-P filler metal is not fit for obtaining a high-quality joint of Ti3Al brazed.展开更多

The effects of GNSs on the wettability of AgCuTiG filler on the C/C composite surface and the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of brazed joints were investigated. The results indicate that the addition of GNSs reduced the wettability of AgCuTiG. The interfacial microstructure of brazed joints evolved with the addition of GNSs, where Ti3Cu4 and TiCu4 were converted to TiCu and the thickness of the reaction layer adjacent to the base material decreased. The maximum shear strength of joints brazed at 0.3 wt% GNSs was 23.3 MPa(880℃/10 min). Further adding GNSs deteriorated the shear strength of the joints. Fracture of the joints occurred in the C/C composite substrate and the TiC layer adjacent to C/C composite.展开更多

The 5-mm-thick 6082-T6 aluminum alloy was self-support friction stir welded at a constant tool rotation speed of 800 r/min. The effect of welding speed on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. The results of transverse tensile test indicated that the tensile strength of joints increased and the elongation decreased with increasing welding speed. The whole values of microhardness of SSFSW joints increased with increasing welding speed from 10 to 200 mm/min. The defectfree joints were obtained at lower welding speeds and the tensile fracture was located at the heat-affected zone(HAZ) adjacent to the thermo-mechanically affected zone(TMAZ) on the advancing side. The investigation of the flow pattern of the softened metal around the SSFSW tool revealed that the flow pattern of the softened metal was driven by two shoulders and the stir pin. The failure of specimens in tension presented the ductile fracture mode.展开更多

The interracial microstructure of brazed joints was analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. The effects of graphene addition on the microstructure evolu-tion and mechanical properties of brazed joints were investigated, and the strengthening mechanism of graphene was analyzed. The results revealed that due to the addition of graphene, M23(C,B)6 compounds were synthesized in the y solid solution and brittle boride precipitates near the brazing seam decreased. Graphene was effective in retarding solute atoms diffusion thus impeding the precipitation of borides. Furthermore, the low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of graphene was conducive to relieve stress concentration of the brazed joints during the cooling process. The shear strengths of brazed joints were significantly improved by exerting the strengthening effect of graphene. The maximum shear strengths of the brazed joints were 410.4 MPa and 329.7 MPa at room temperature and 800 ℃, respectively.展开更多

In addition, the relatively sound joints of bulk metallic glass without macroscopic deformation were obtained by removing the oxide film before diffusion bonding. The joint interfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The hardness of joints near the interface was higher than that far away from the interface, which is attributed to the difference of structural relaxation. According to the result of micro-focused X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy, the joints retained the amorphous structure when the holding time is less than 20 min. The surface area fraction of oxide film on the interface of joints was detected by ultrasonic inspection. Moreover, the surface area fraction of oxide film is in excellent agreement with the theoretical value calculated by shear strength. The result indicated that surface oxide film is the dominant barrier on the diffusion bonding of bulk metallic glass rather than low atomic diffusion coefficient.展开更多

文摘Porous Ti with low modulus,excellent bio-corrosion resistance,biocompatibility,and antibacterial activity is highly pursued as advanced implant materials.In this work,a new approach to prepare micron porous structures on the surface layer of a grade 2 commercially-pure Ti(TA2)was proposed,which utilized a simple vacuum wetting process of pure Ag on the surface of TA2.The microstructure,corrosion resistance,biocompatibility,mechanical properties,antibacterial ability,and formation mechanism of the asfabricated porous Ti were studied.The results show that the pores(with average pore sizes of 0.5-5μm)are distributed on the surface layer of the TA2 with a depth of~10μm.In particular,a large number of silver nanoparticles(Ag NPs)form which are dispersed on the porous structures.The formation mechanisms of the porous structures and Ag NPs were elucidated,suggesting that the volatilization/sublimation of Ag in TA2 is crucial.The porous Ti possesses excellent bio-corrosion resistance,surface wettability,biocompatibility,antibacterial activity,and a relatively low elastic modulus of 40-55 GPa,which may have a promising future in the field of orthopedic implants.This work also provides a novel idea for the development of advanced porous Ti materials for orthopedic-related basic research and biomedical applications.

文摘The residual stress distributions as a function of depth in three different graphite/copper brazing joints:with no interlayer,with a copper interlayer and with a niobium interlayer are measured via X-ray diffraction by transmission geometry.The residual stress in all the joints is found to be generally compressive and increasing from the surface to the interface.Copper and niobium interlayers are both effective in alleviating the residual stress in the joint and the stress value in the joint with a niobium interlayer appearing to be the lowest.The strength of the joint is demonstrated to be closely related to the residual stress and the fracture position of the joint corresponds well with the highest residual stress.
