The results show that the average size of voids decreases while the amount of voids decreases after increasing to the maximum value with the increasing bonding time. The irregular void with a scraggly edge tends to an ellipse void with smooth surface and then changes to a tiny void with round shape. The grains across bonding interface occur at bonding time of 60 min. The shear strength of bond increases with increasing bonding time, and the highest shear strength of bond is 887.4 MPa at 60 min. The contribution of plastic deformation on the void closure and the increase of shear strength is significant even though the action time of plastic deformation is short.展开更多

Results show that the diffusion layers become wide as the heat treatment temperature increases, and the residual stress of the specimen is at a minimum and tensile strength is the largest when being annealed at 250 ℃. Therefore, 250 ℃ is the most appropriate annealing temperature.展开更多

The joints were examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） to study the evolution mechanism of the reaction layers. The results show that Al atoms diffuse into Mo grain boundaries and form reaction products as Mo3Al8, MoAl4 , MoAl5 and MoAl12. The surface oxide film is eroded by the growths of the reaction products that plow into the lamellar texture of Mo grain boundaries. Mo3Al8 layer grows by ＂taking root＂ downwards and transforms into MoAl4 and MoAl5 phases upwards by absorbing Al atoms. MoAl12 layer grows up from MoAl5 layer in the same way. When the supplement of Al atoms ceases, MoAl12 transforms reversely into MoAl5 and MoAl5 into MoAl4 via the loss of Al atoms. However, MoAl4 continues to precipitate from Mo3Als layer. At last, there are MoAl4 and Mo3Al8 remained on the joint interface.展开更多

The effect of interlayer thickness on the axial stress and shear stress was also investigated. The results indicate that the gradients of the axial stress and shear stress are great near the joint edge. The maximal shear stress produces at the interface of the Al2O3-TIC and Ti interlayer. With the increase of Cu interlayer thickness, the magnitudes of the axial stress and shear stress first decrease and then increase. The distribution of the axial stress changes greatly with a little change in the shear stress. The shear fracture initiates at the interface of the Al2O3-TiC/ Ti interlayer with high shear stress and then propagates to the Al2O3-TIC side, which is consistent with the stress FEM calculating results.展开更多

In this study, the post heat treatment including solution and aging treatments is proposed to optimize the microstructure, contributing to strength improvement and appropriate ductility sacrifice. An available method by the introduction of fine size (both 20-100 nm) and a high fraction (59.7% and 13.7%) of O and α_(2) phases using both solution at 1000℃ for 1 h and aging at 750℃ for 5 h can result in excellent tensile strength (992 MPa and 858 MPa) at room temperature and 650℃, respectively, which increases 5.3% and 44.5% than that of as-received sample. The aging treatment can contribute to lamellar O and α2 grains precipitated from the B_(2) parent, which results in limited dislocation slip systems and slip spaces to resist plastic deformation. Moreover, the crack propagation and fracture surfaces are also comparatively analyzed to reveal the fracture behaviors in the samples with high and low strength. This study can provide a new method for the mechanical property optimization of the welded Ti_(2)AlNb alloys.展开更多

文摘The hot isostatic pressing-diffusion bonding(HIP-DB)was proposed to achieve the joining of CuAgZn and GH909 directly without an interlayer.The microstructure of joint was characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The microhardness and shear strength were tested to investigate the mechanical properties of joint.The results showed that the interface was complete,and the joint was compact,uniform and free of unbonded defects.The maximum microhardness of joint was HV 443,higher than that of two base alloys,and the average shear strength of joint reached 172 MPa.It is concluded that a good metallurgical bonding between CuAgZn and GH909 can be obtained by HIP-DB with the process parameters of 700℃,150 MPa and 3 h.

文摘Mo foil （10 -20 μm in thickness） and Al foil （20 -60 μLm in thickness） were vacuum diffusion bonded at 600 - 640 ~C under 20 MPa for 54 min - 6 h. The joints were examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS） to study the evolution mechanism of the reaction layers. The results show that Al atoms diffuse into Mo grain boundaries and form reaction products as Mo3Al8, MoAl4 , MoAl5 and MoAl12. The surface oxide film is eroded by the growths of the reaction products that plow into the lamellar texture of Mo grain boundaries. Mo3Al8 layer grows by ＂taking root＂ downwards and transforms into MoAl4 and MoAl5 phases upwards by absorbing Al atoms. MoAl12 layer grows up from MoAl5 layer in the same way. When the supplement of Al atoms ceases, MoAl12 transforms reversely into MoAl5 and MoAl5 into MoAl4 via the loss of Al atoms. However, MoAl4 continues to precipitate from Mo3Als layer. At last, there are MoAl4 and Mo3Al8 remained on the joint interface.

文摘In the present study, corrosion behavior of diffusion bonded joints formed between micro-duplex stainless steel （MDSS） and Ti6AI4V alloy （TiA） （at 900 ~C for 60 min under 4 MPa uniaxial pressure in vacuum） was investigated in 1 mol/L HCI and 1 mol/L NaOH solutions using various electrochemical measurements such as open circuit potential （OCP）, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and potentiodynamic polarization （PD）. For comparison, corrosion behavior of base metals （MDSS and TiA） was also evaluated. Bonded joint was characterized by light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy using backscattered electron mode. The layer wise σ phase and λ ＋ FeTi phase mixture has been observed at the bond interface and the bond tensile strength and shear strength were - 556.4 MPa and -420.2 MPa, respectively.

文摘The distributions of the axial stress and shear stress in Al2O3-TiC/Q235 diffusion bonded joints were studied using finite element method （FEM）. The effect of interlayer thickness on the axial stress and shear stress was also investigated. The results indicate that the gradients of the axial stress and shear stress are great near the joint edge. The maximal shear stress produces at the interface of the Al2O3-TIC and Ti interlayer. With the increase of Cu interlayer thickness, the magnitudes of the axial stress and shear stress first decrease and then increase. The distribution of the axial stress changes greatly with a little change in the shear stress. The shear fracture initiates at the interface of the Al2O3-TiC/ Ti interlayer with high shear stress and then propagates to the Al2O3-TIC side, which is consistent with the stress FEM calculating results.

文摘The characteristics of microstructure and mechanical strength of the Mg/Al alloy joint diffusion bonded with a Zn interlayer were studied by means of metalloscopy,X-ray diffraction(XRD),electron probe microanalysis(EPMA) and mechanical property test.Investigations showed that the Mg/Al alloy joint diffusion bonded with Zn interlayer consists of a multilayer sandwich structure,including the transition zone on Al side,Zn and Zn-Mg transition zone,as well as the transition zone on Mg side.The transition zone on Al side is very thin and composed mainly of a solid solution structure,while the Zn-Mg transition zone has a relative larger dimension after a rapid eutectic reaction.The addition of zinc interlayer inhibits the inter-diffusion of Mg and Al alloy efficiently.The Zn-Mg transition zone constitutes the main part of the joint and consists of Mg crystals and the new phase formed is MgZn intermetallic compound.The mechanical strength of Mg/Al alloy joints diffusion bonded with Zn interlayer reached 42 MPa.According to the phase constitution analyses executed on each side of the fracture face,it was deduced that the fracture of Mg/Al alloy joint located around the interface of Zn and Zn-Mg transition zone.

文摘Diffusion-bonded Ti_(2)AlNb-based alloys commonly present a low strength compared with the deformed or aged ones. In this study, the post heat treatment including solution and aging treatments is proposed to optimize the microstructure, contributing to strength improvement and appropriate ductility sacrifice. An available method by the introduction of fine size (both 20-100 nm) and a high fraction (59.7% and 13.7%) of O and α_(2) phases using both solution at 1000℃ for 1 h and aging at 750℃ for 5 h can result in excellent tensile strength (992 MPa and 858 MPa) at room temperature and 650℃, respectively, which increases 5.3% and 44.5% than that of as-received sample. The aging treatment can contribute to lamellar O and α2 grains precipitated from the B_(2) parent, which results in limited dislocation slip systems and slip spaces to resist plastic deformation. Moreover, the crack propagation and fracture surfaces are also comparatively analyzed to reveal the fracture behaviors in the samples with high and low strength. This study can provide a new method for the mechanical property optimization of the welded Ti_(2)AlNb alloys.

文摘The challenge of low temperature and rapid diffusion bonding of a Ni-based superalloy was hereby addressed by using a Ni nano-coating and a spark plasma sintering(SPS).It successfully produced a Nibased superalloy joint with 337 MPa shear strength at 500℃ for 30 min,which is approximately 400℃ lower than the traditional hot pressure diffusion bonding(HPDB)temperature.The microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were systematically investigated.It is revealed that the pulsed current and ultra-fine grains(19 nm)in the Ni nano-coating could significantly facilitate voids closure.The voids closure mechanisms involved(i)pulsed current strengthened plastic deformation,(ii)pulsed current strengthened surface source diffusion,(iii)pulsed current strengthened bonding interface diffusion,(iv)grain growth dividing the initial large voids into nano-voids,and(v)massive grain boundaries(GBs),lattice defects,and local high-temperature strengthened GBs diffusion.Furthermore,the GBs migration across the interface was investigated,and the results revealed that the GBs migration and fine grains(350 nm)near the bonding interface together increased the joint strength.

文摘The excellent irradiation resistance,high strength and plasticity exhibited by high-entropy alloys(HEAs)make it candidate for engin-eering applications.Diffusion bonding of Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi single-phase HEAs was carried out using electric-assisted diffusion bonding(EADB),and the effect of bonding temperature on the evolution of the interfacial microstructure and the mechanical properties was investigated.The results indicate that as the bonding temperature increases,the pores at the interface gradually decrease in size and undergo closure.The electric current significantly promotes the pore closure mechanism dominated by plastic deformation at the diffusion interface and promotes the recrystallisation behavior at the interface,and the fracture mode changes from intergranular fracture at the interface to jagged fracture along the grains spanning the weld parent material.Due to the activation effect of EADB,higher-strength diffusion bonding of high-entropy alloys can be achieved at the same temperature compared with the conventional hot-pressure diffusion bonding(HPDB)process.
