Through differential thermal analysis (DTA), the melting temperatures of such Al-Si-Cu- ( Ni, Sn, Zn) filler metals were determined. The results show that the addition of 3 wt. % - 5 wt. % Sn into the Al-6Si-15Cu filler metal causes its solidus temperature to decrease by about 12℃. The filler metal with the composition Al-6Si-15Cu-2Ni is proposed, which possesses a melting temperature range of 512℃ to 520℃ and a microstrueture that includes an Al-Cu eutectic phases, Al-Si-Cu eutectic phases, silicon particles and Cu2Al, AlNi3 , Al7 Cu4Ni and Al3Ni2 intermetallic compounds. An addition of 5 wt. % -7 wt. % Zn into such A1-Si-Cu filler metals cause their solidus temperatures to drop further to a value lower than 498℃. Metallographic observations indicate that the addition of Zn into the Al-Si-Cu filler metal inhibits the formation of the Al-Si, Al-Cu and Al-Si-Cu eutectic phases. The remaining phases are a A12 Cu intermetallic compound, an α- Al solid solution and silicon particles.展开更多
