The microstructure of the Zn-A1 alloys was studied by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the phase constitution of the Cu/A1 joints was analyzed by energy dispersion spectrometry. The results show that the spreading area of the Zn-A1 filler metals on the Cu and A1 substrates increases as the A1 content increases. The mechanical results indicate that the shear strength reaches a peak value of 88 MPa when A1 and Cu are brazed with Zn-15AI filler metal. Microhardness levels from HV122 to HV515 were produced in the three brazing seam regions corresponding to various microstructure features. The Zn- and Al-rich phases exist in the middle brazing seam regions. However, two interface layers, CuZn3 and A12Cu are formed on the Cu side when the A1 content in the filler metals is 2% and more than 15%, respectively. The relationship between intermetallic compounds on Cu side and Zn-xA1 filler metals was investigated.展开更多

X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the coating is composed by Zn, A1 and MgZn2 phase. Optical microscope （OM） and scanning electron microscope （SEM） observations showed the coating is occupied by snowflake-like dendrite, double hexagonal organization and eutectic. The coating backbone was the dendrite considered to be a phase of hexagonal close-packed （HCP） structure judging form its morphology according to the crystal growth way in the coating. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） researches on the dendrite suggested that an intermediate Zn-A1 phase was formed at high temperature, then decomposed into a type of Zn-A1 granular eutectoid after cooling down to room temperature, while the eutectoid Zn and A1 had a certain crystallographic relationship. The coating solidification process and the grain crystal structure were discussed.展开更多
