The effect of using three types of interlayer such as BNi-2, BNi-3, and BNi-9 on microstructure and mechanical properties was studied in the GTD-111/IN-718 system at 1100 ℃ for different bonding time. To determine the compositional changes and microstructure in the joint region, field emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy was utilized. The formation of Ni_(3)B in the athermally solidified zone(ASZ) is controlled by the B content and, accordingly, the morphology of Ni_(3)Si is governed by the Si content. The Cr content might impede the relocation of B from the interlayer into the base metal and the formation of CrB inside the ASZ is dominated by the Cr content. The high micro-hardness of the eutectic compounds is originated from the formation of boride matrixes such as Ni or Cr boride. The shear strength of the joint using BNi-9 after the completion of isothermal solidification is lower compared that that using BNi-3 and BNi-2, which could be related to the absence of Si in the filler metals constituent and the significant presence of Cr in BNi-9.展开更多
