The AgCuTi active filler metal was used and the joining was performed at a temperature of 850 ℃ for 10 rain. The microstructures of the joints were characterized by metallographic microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Metallographic microscopy analysis shows that the morphology of the cross section was a sandwich structure and the TiO is observed in the surface of ZrO2/ stainless steel. The diffusion and enrichment of the elements are the key roles in the brazing of ZrO2 ceramic and stainless steel. The formation of TiCu compounds inhibited the further diffusion of titanium into stainless steel or the ZrO2 ceramic to form TiO compound. In the experimental conditions, the average tensile strength is 80MPa for the joint of ZrO2 ceramic / AgCuTi/ stainless steel systems. A complete joint is formed between the ZrO2 ceramic and stainless steel with the leakage rate at the degree of 10 ^-12 Pa · m^3/s.展开更多

Microstructure of the joined section was investigated. The effects of interlayer and PLS on joining qualities were analysed. The results show that interface cracks are easily produced because of mismatch of both thermal expansion and/or sintering shrinkage between joined samples. With an optimized condition of joining layer composition and solid contents,a fine joint could be obtained without obvious cracks,pores and other defects. This process is suitable for joining of various kinds of advanced ceramics.展开更多

The research was carried out with the main attention to the infrared emissivity in the band of 8 similar to 14 mu m at room temperature, the microstructure of the ceramics and the relation between them. High infrared emissivities exceeding 0.9 in the band of 8 similar to 14 mu m at room temperature were gained in the transitional metal oxide ceramics and the composite system ceramics. It is suggested that the formation of inverse spinels and partially inverse spinels, such as Fe3O4, CoFe2O4, CuFe2O4 and CuMn2O4, is beneficial to the enhancement of the infrared emissivity of the transitional metal oxide ceramics. The transitional metal oxides play an important role in determining the infrared emissivity of the composite system ceramics.展开更多

Samples were heat treated in a 99.99% nitrogen flux at temperatures ranging from 1 100 ℃ to 1 300 ℃. Three point bending strength of the joint reached the maximum of 179 MPa as joined at 1 200℃. The joining layer is continuous, homogeneous and densified and has a thickness of 2 μm -5μm. The joining mechanism is that the amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SixOyCz) ceramic pyrolyzed from silicon resin YR3370 acts as an inorganic adhesive to SSiC substrate, which means the formation of the continuous Si-C bond structure between SixOyCz structure and SSiC substrate. Life prediction of the ceramic joint can be realized through the measurement of the critical time of the joint after the cyclic loading test.展开更多

The microstructure, phases, differential thermal curves, and high-temperature wetting behavior of the alloy were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and the sessile drop method. The experimental results show that the 76.5Al–8.5Ti–5Cu–10Si alloy is mainly composed of Al–Al2Cu and Al–Si hypoeutectic low-melting-point microstructures (493–586°C) and the high-melting-point intermetallic compound AlTiSi (840°C). The contact angle, determined by high-temperature wetting experiments, is approximately 54°. Furthermore, the wetting interface is smooth and contains no obvious defects. Metallurgical bonding at the interface is attributable to the reaction between Al and Si in the alloy and ceramic, respectively. The formation of the brittle Al4C3phase at the interface is suppressed by the addition of 10wt% Si to the alloy. ? 2017, University of Science and Technology Beijing and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.展开更多

Microstructures of the brazed joints were irwestigated by scanning electron micrascope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The mechanical properties of the brazed joints were measured by shearing tests. The results showed that the brazed joints were composed of Ti-Cu phase, W phase and Ti-Si phase. W had no effect on the wettability and mobility of the .filler metals. The growth of Ti2 Cu phase was restrained, and the reaction between ceramic composite and filler metals was weakened. The specimen, brazed at 970°C for 5 rain, had the maximum shear strength of 108 MPa at room temperature.展开更多

The heating and laser welding method both require long joining time. Based on super deformation method, a 7-bar and 2-slider mechanism was developed in Japan, and the joining time is less than 0.5 s, however the length of each bar are not reported and this mechanism is complex. A relatively simple 6-bar and 1-slider mechanism is put forward, which can realize the shearing and extrusion motion of the top and bottom blades with a speed approximately equal to the speed of the metal plates. In order to study the kinematics property of the double blades, based on complex vector method, the multi-rigid-body model is built, and the displacement and speed functions of the double blades, the joining time and joining thickness are deduced, the kinematics analysis shows that the initial parameters can't satisfy the joining process. Hence, optimization of this mechanism is employed using genetic algorithm(GA) and the optimization parameters of this mechanism are obtained, the kinematics analysis show that the joining time is less than 0.1 s, the joining thickness is more than 80% of the thickness of the solid-state metal, and the horizontal speeds of the blades are improved. A new mechanism is provided for the joining of the solid-state metal and a foundation is laid for the design of the device.展开更多

Interface structures of the joints were identified by means of TEM analysis. This joining method contains three characteristic processes, which are the melting of AgCu eutectic alloy, eutectic reaction between interlayer and Ti-6Al-4V base material and active reaction of element Ti to SiO2 glass ceramic. It is different from traditional active brazing because active element Ti totally dissolves from Ti-6Al-4 V and reacts with SiO2 glass ceramic. SiO2 glass ceramic can be joined suecessfuUy to Ti-6Al-4 V alloy by this novel bonding method and the joint exhibits high shear strength, up to 110 MPa.展开更多

The results showed that the trend on the distribution of residual stress field in the joints was not changed with the use of interlayer. The maximum residual stress was always located in metallic ceramic with area ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm to the interlayer. The maximum residual stress in the joints was also affected by diffusion temperature. The satellite pulse current during the initial stage on diffusion bonding can promote the formation of liquid film at the interface, by which diffusion temperature and loading pressure can be greatly decreased. The crack initiation was easily produced at the corner of Ti ( C, N) metallic ceramic close to the interlayer. If a higher residual stress produced in the joints, the crack was propagated into the whole ceramic.展开更多

The surface morphology, microstructure, interfacial behavior between the coatings and substrate, phase and element composition of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) , X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS ) and Auger electron spectroscopy ( AES ) . Microhardness profile was measured with a Vickers microhardness tester. The results show that metallurgical bond between the coating and substrate is realized and the phase of coatings are made up of Ti( CN ) spherocrystal and dendritic crystal, TiV and C. Ti( CN) ceramic particles, which is in-situ synthesized by the reaction among titanium from the substrate, carbon from the graphite electrode and nitrogen from the shielding nitrogen gas, is about 600 mn and distributes dispersively among the coatings. Microharduess profile falls off with the coatings thickness increasing and the highest microhardness values of the superficial coating could be up to 1 496HV, which is six times more than that of the substrate.展开更多

Surface roughening methods, such as sand blasting, acid etching and alkaline degreasing for the metal matrix are used to increase bond strength. However, the metal matrix of PFM processed by selective laser melting(SLM) has natural rough surface. To explore the effect of the original roughness on metal-ceramic bond strength, two groups of specimen are fabricated by SLM. One group of specimen surface is polished smooth while another group remains the original rough surface. The dental porcelain is fused to the specimens' surfaces according to the ISO 9693:1999 standard. To gain the bond strength, a three-point bending test is carried out and X ray energy spectrum analysis(EDS), scanning electron microscope(SEM) are used to show fracture mode. The results show that the mean bond strength is 116.5 16 MPa of the group with rough surface(Ra= 17.2), and the fracture mode is cohesive. However, when the surface is smooth (Ra =3.8), the mean bond strength is 74.5 MPa _+ 5 MPa and the fracture mode is mixed. The original surface with prominent structures formed by the partly melted powder particles, not only increases surface roughness but also significantly improves the bond strength by forming strong mechanical lock effect. Statistical analysis (Student's t-test) demonstrates a significant difference (p〈0.05) of the mean value of bond strength between the two groups. The experiments indicate the natural rough surface can enhance the metal-ceramic bond strength to over four times the minimum value (25 MPa) of the ISO 9693:1999 standard. It is found that the natural rough surface of SLM-made PFM can eliminate the porcelain collapse defect produced by traditional casting method in PFM restorations.展开更多

Three aspects were taken into account: the mushrooming deformation of the projectile, the fragment of ceramic tile and the formation and change of ceramic conoid and the deformation of the metal backup plate. Solving the set of equations, all the variables were obtained for the different impact velocities: the extent and particle velocity in rigid zone; the extent, cross-section area and particle velocity in plastic zone; the velocity and depth of penetration of projectile to the target; the reduction in volume and compressive strength of the fractured ceramic conoid; the displacement and movement velocity of the effective zone of backup plate. Agreement observed among analytical result, numerical simulation and experimental result confirms the validity of the model, suggesting the model developed can be a useful tool for ceramic/metal armor design.展开更多

The bonding interfaces between the cladding layer and the matrix and among different tracks are excellent. Microanalysis on the cladding layer shows that the morphology is a little different from each other and the element distribution and the mechanical properties are unanimous in each track while the mechanical property of the cladding layer shows a gradual change from the surface to the matrix. The in-situ separating out thin ceramic phases in the coating contribute to the improving of its properties greatly.展开更多

The microstructure, phases, differential thermal curves, and high-temperature wetting behavior of the alloy were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and the sessile drop method. The experimental results show that the 76.5Al–8.5Ti–5Cu–10Si alloy is mainly composed of Al–Al2Cu and Al–Si hypoeutectic low-melting-point microstructures (493–586°C) and the high-melting-point intermetallic compound AlTiSi (840°C). The contact angle, determined by high-temperature wetting experiments, is approximately 54°. Furthermore, the wetting interface is smooth and contains no obvious defects. Metallurgical bonding at the interface is attributable to the reaction between Al and Si in the alloy and ceramic, respectively. The formation of the brittle Al4C3phase at the interface is suppressed by the addition of 10wt% Si to the alloy. ? 2017, University of Science and Technology Beijing and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
文摘Si/SiC ceramic composite and lnvar alloy were successfidly joined by vacuum brazing using Ti5OCu-W filler metals into which W was added to release the thermal stress of the brazed joint. Microstructures of the brazed joints were irwestigated by scanning electron micrascope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The mechanical properties of the brazed joints were measured by shearing tests. The results showed that the brazed joints were composed of Ti-Cu phase, W phase and Ti-Si phase. W had no effect on the wettability and mobility of the .filler metals. The growth of Ti2 Cu phase was restrained, and the reaction between ceramic composite and filler metals was weakened. The specimen, brazed at 970°C for 5 rain, had the maximum shear strength of 108 MPa at room temperature.

文摘Dynamical Joining of the solid-state metal is the key technology to realize endless hot rolling. The heating and laser welding method both require long joining time. Based on super deformation method, a 7-bar and 2-slider mechanism was developed in Japan, and the joining time is less than 0.5 s, however the length of each bar are not reported and this mechanism is complex. A relatively simple 6-bar and 1-slider mechanism is put forward, which can realize the shearing and extrusion motion of the top and bottom blades with a speed approximately equal to the speed of the metal plates. In order to study the kinematics property of the double blades, based on complex vector method, the multi-rigid-body model is built, and the displacement and speed functions of the double blades, the joining time and joining thickness are deduced, the kinematics analysis shows that the initial parameters can't satisfy the joining process. Hence, optimization of this mechanism is employed using genetic algorithm(GA) and the optimization parameters of this mechanism are obtained, the kinematics analysis show that the joining time is less than 0.1 s, the joining thickness is more than 80% of the thickness of the solid-state metal, and the horizontal speeds of the blades are improved. A new mechanism is provided for the joining of the solid-state metal and a foundation is laid for the design of the device.

文摘AgCu/Ni composite interlayer was utilized to join SiO2 glass ceramic (74. 52% SiO2-23. 40% Al2 03 -2. 08 % K2 O, wt. % ) and Ti-6Al-4V alloy by eutectic reaction. Interface structures of the joints were identified by means of TEM analysis. This joining method contains three characteristic processes, which are the melting of AgCu eutectic alloy, eutectic reaction between interlayer and Ti-6Al-4V base material and active reaction of element Ti to SiO2 glass ceramic. It is different from traditional active brazing because active element Ti totally dissolves from Ti-6Al-4 V and reacts with SiO2 glass ceramic. SiO2 glass ceramic can be joined suecessfuUy to Ti-6Al-4 V alloy by this novel bonding method and the joint exhibits high shear strength, up to 110 MPa.

文摘Based on ANSYS FEM software, the distribution of residual stress in the diffusion bonding joints between Ti( C,N) metallic ceramic/interlayer/4OCr steel was calculated and experimentally ver^ed. The results showed that the trend on the distribution of residual stress field in the joints was not changed with the use of interlayer. The maximum residual stress was always located in metallic ceramic with area ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm to the interlayer. The maximum residual stress in the joints was also affected by diffusion temperature. The satellite pulse current during the initial stage on diffusion bonding can promote the formation of liquid film at the interface, by which diffusion temperature and loading pressure can be greatly decreased. The crack initiation was easily produced at the corner of Ti ( C, N) metallic ceramic close to the interlayer. If a higher residual stress produced in the joints, the crack was propagated into the whole ceramic.

文摘Electric-spark deposition (ESD) was adopted for depositing a Ti( CN) -based ceramic coating on the TC4 titanium alloy substrate using a laboratory-developed electric-spark deposition system, a nitrogen-sealed atmosphere and graphite electrode. The surface morphology, microstructure, interfacial behavior between the coatings and substrate, phase and element composition of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) , X-ray diffraction ( XRD ) , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS ) and Auger electron spectroscopy ( AES ) . Microhardness profile was measured with a Vickers microhardness tester. The results show that metallurgical bond between the coating and substrate is realized and the phase of coatings are made up of Ti( CN ) spherocrystal and dendritic crystal, TiV and C. Ti( CN) ceramic particles, which is in-situ synthesized by the reaction among titanium from the substrate, carbon from the graphite electrode and nitrogen from the shielding nitrogen gas, is about 600 mn and distributes dispersively among the coatings. Microharduess profile falls off with the coatings thickness increasing and the highest microhardness values of the superficial coating could be up to 1 496HV, which is six times more than that of the substrate.

文摘The porcelain fracture caused by low metal-ceramic bond strength is a critical issue in porcelain fused to metal(PFM) restorations. Surface roughening methods, such as sand blasting, acid etching and alkaline degreasing for the metal matrix are used to increase bond strength. However, the metal matrix of PFM processed by selective laser melting(SLM) has natural rough surface. To explore the effect of the original roughness on metal-ceramic bond strength, two groups of specimen are fabricated by SLM. One group of specimen surface is polished smooth while another group remains the original rough surface. The dental porcelain is fused to the specimens' surfaces according to the ISO 9693:1999 standard. To gain the bond strength, a three-point bending test is carried out and X ray energy spectrum analysis(EDS), scanning electron microscope(SEM) are used to show fracture mode. The results show that the mean bond strength is 116.5 16 MPa of the group with rough surface(Ra= 17.2), and the fracture mode is cohesive. However, when the surface is smooth (Ra =3.8), the mean bond strength is 74.5 MPa _+ 5 MPa and the fracture mode is mixed. The original surface with prominent structures formed by the partly melted powder particles, not only increases surface roughness but also significantly improves the bond strength by forming strong mechanical lock effect. Statistical analysis (Student's t-test) demonstrates a significant difference (p〈0.05) of the mean value of bond strength between the two groups. The experiments indicate the natural rough surface can enhance the metal-ceramic bond strength to over four times the minimum value (25 MPa) of the ISO 9693:1999 standard. It is found that the natural rough surface of SLM-made PFM can eliminate the porcelain collapse defect produced by traditional casting method in PFM restorations.
文摘Research conducted on ceramic materials has been investigating the incorporation of solid waste into their formulations,driven by the proper disposal of such waste and the reduction of negative environmental impacts.This study analyzed the effects of adding aluminum powder residue to the physical properties of ceramic masses with the aim of obtaining new formulations for ceramic tiles.The aluminum residue and the standard mass for ceramic tile production were chemically characterized and homogenized to obtain new formulations with the incorporation of 4%,6%,8%,and 10%aluminum powder in the ceramic mass.The specimens were uniaxially pressed and sintered at a temperature of 1,200°C for 2 h,undergoing three different temperatures(100°C,400°C,and 650°C)for 30 min each.They were evaluated for WA(water absorption),RLq(linear shrinkage),SEM(scanning electron microscopy),and TRF(flexural strength)modulus.The results demonstrate that the addition of aluminum powder residue is feasible in the proposed formulations(4%,6%,8%,and 10%),as they enhance the mechanical properties of the ceramics compared to the formulation with 0%residue,at a sintering temperature of 1,200°C.

文摘A new analytical model was established to describe the complex behavior of ceramic/metal armor under impact of deformable projectile by assuming some hypotheses. Three aspects were taken into account: the mushrooming deformation of the projectile, the fragment of ceramic tile and the formation and change of ceramic conoid and the deformation of the metal backup plate. Solving the set of equations, all the variables were obtained for the different impact velocities: the extent and particle velocity in rigid zone; the extent, cross-section area and particle velocity in plastic zone; the velocity and depth of penetration of projectile to the target; the reduction in volume and compressive strength of the fractured ceramic conoid; the displacement and movement velocity of the effective zone of backup plate. Agreement observed among analytical result, numerical simulation and experimental result confirms the validity of the model, suggesting the model developed can be a useful tool for ceramic/metal armor design.
文摘Large-area in-situ synthesized TiB2(TiB, Fe2B)—Fe metal-ceramic composite coating has been fabricated on medium carbon steel by laser cladding with the optimal laser parameters and overlapping coefficient. The bonding interfaces between the cladding layer and the matrix and among different tracks are excellent. Microanalysis on the cladding layer shows that the morphology is a little different from each other and the element distribution and the mechanical properties are unanimous in each track while the mechanical property of the cladding layer shows a gradual change from the surface to the matrix. The in-situ separating out thin ceramic phases in the coating contribute to the improving of its properties greatly.
