The results indicate the optimum temperature for bonding the composite plates is 520℃, a sound bonding interface without continuous intermetallic compound layers and interfacial voids is obtained, and the shear strength value of bond joints can be as high as 190 MPa. An interfacial transition zone is formed due to the alloying elements mutual diffusion during the bonding process. Meanwhile, the effect of temperature on diffusion of alloying elements and interface reaction were discussed in detail, the results show that the higher temperature can increase the diffusion of alloying elements fluxes across the bonding interface, which can accelerate the closure of interfacial voids; meanwhile, when Mg atoms diffuse across the bonding interface, it can react with and break up the surface oxide films into discrete particles, and the removal of interface oxides increases the metal to metal bond areas and improves the bond quality.展开更多

At low temperature, a new phase with AlNb2-structure, Al（Nb, Ti）2, was formed in the interface region adjacent to the O base alloy. The α2 was found to be the major reaction product and developed in the interface region adjacent to the TiAl alloy as well as in the region adjacent to the O base alloy accompanying the formation of Al（Nb, Ti）2. The occurrence of Al（Nb, Ti）2 has been attributed to the different diffusivity of Nb and Al, leading to a eutectoid-like reaction. At relatively high temperature, Al（Nb, Ti）2 did not form due to enhanced diffusion of Nb but a B2-enriched zone formed on the O alloy side instead after long holding time. Only when an appropriate interface microstructure was achieved by optimizing the bonding parameters, could the shear strength of the joint reach 80% of that of the TiAl base alloy.展开更多

The mechanisms of the microstructural evolution of the TaZrNb/TA15 interface were investigated via SEM, EBSD, EDS, and XRD.Interface mechanical property tests and in-situ tensile tests were conducted on the sphere-containing structure, and an equivalent tensile-strength model was established for the structure. The results revealed that the TA15 titanium alloy and joint had high density and no pores or cracks. The thickness of the planar joint was approximately 50-60 μm. The average tensile and shear strengths were 767 MPa and 608 MPa, respectively. The thickness of the spherical joint was approximately 60 μm.

The observation of the microstructure reveals that sound joints between the γ-TiAl alloy and the Ti-alloy without any pores or cracks can be achieved through diffusion bonding at temperatures over 1 073 K under the applied stress of 100 MPa for 2 h. The bond is composed of two zones, and its width increases with the increase of bonding temperature. The EDS chemical composition profiles indicate that there is a diffusion flux of Al atoms from γ-TiAl alloy towards the Ti alloy and of Ti atoms in the opposite direction. The three point-bending of the joints bonded under different conditions was tested and the fracture mode was analyzed by SEM observation.展开更多

The microstructures of Mg/Al dissimilar joints were studied by means of optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray （EDX）. The results show that the thickness of each layer in the diffusion zone increases with the increase of joining temperature, and the microstructure changes obviously. At joining temperature of 440 °C, the diffusion zone is composed of Mg2Al3 layer and Mg17Al12 layer. At joining temperatures of 460 and 480 °C, the diffusion zone is composed of Mg2Al3 layer, Mg17Al12 layer, eutectic layer of Mg17Al12 and Mg-based solid solution. The width of high-hardness zone in the joint increases with increasing joining temperature, and the micro-hardnesses at different locations in the diffusion zone are significantly different. The joining temperature of 440 °C offers the highest tensile strength of 37 MPa, and the corresponding joint exhibits brittle fracture at the intermetallic compound layer of Mg17Al12.展开更多

The kinds of the reaction products and the interface structures of the joints were investigated by SEM, EPMA and XRD. Based on this, a formation mechanism of the interface structure was elucidated. Experimental and analytical results show that two reaction layers have formed during the diffusion bonding of TAD to TC2. One is Al rich α(Ti)layer adjacent to TC2,and the other is (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer adjacent to TAD,thus the interface structure of the TAD/TC2 joints is TAD/(Ti 3Al+TiAl)/α(Ti)/TC2.This interface structure forms according to a three stage mechanism,namely(a)the occurrence of a single phase α(Ti)layer;(b)the occurrence of a duplex phase(Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer;and(c)the growth of the α(Ti)and (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layers.展开更多

Joining process was performed in pressure range of 10-35 MPa at temperatures of 430-450 ℃ for 60 min under a vacuum of 13.3 MPa. The microstructure evaluation, phase analysis and distribution of elements at the interface were done using scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The pressure of 25 MPa was determined as the optimum pressure in which the minimum amount of plastic deformation takes place at the joint. Different reaction layers containing intermetallic compounds, such as Al12Mg17, Al3Mg2 andα（Al） solid solution, were observed, in interfacial transition zone （ITZ）. Thickness of layers was increased with increasing the operating temperature. According to the results, diffusion of aluminum atoms into magnesium alloy was more and the interface movement towards the Al alloy was observed. The maximum bond strength of 38 MPa was achieved at the temperature of 440 ℃ and pressure of 25 MPa. Fractography studies indicated that the brittle fracture originated from Al3Mg2 phase.展开更多

文摘Basing on vacuum diffusion bonding technique,Mg1 and Al1060 were welded under different welding temperatures.Inspection equipment such as scanning electron microscopy,energy dispersive spectroscopy,X-ray diffractometer,and tensile machine were applied to observe and investigate the microstructure,phase composition and mechanical property of Mg/Al diffusion welding joints.The results indic-ate that Mg1/Al1060 diffusion layers generate in the joints,and the thickness progressively increases with ascending welding temperature.From Al to Mg side,diffusion layers are comprised of Mg2Al3,Mg17Al12,and Mg17Al12+Mg based solid solutions sequentially.The shear resistance of the joints increases and then decreases with the increasing welding temperature.At 440℃,the maximal shear strength of 13 MPa can be obtained,and fracture results from Mg2Al3 phase near Al side.

文摘High niobium β-γ TiAl alloy(HNBG) was diffusion bonded using spark plasma sintering with pure Ti as interlayer. The joint microstructural evolution, growth kinetics and mechanical properties were investigated. The joint included three diffusion zones. The β/B2 phase formed in the Zone Ⅰ, α_(2)phase in the Zone Ⅱ, and β-Ti and α-Ti phases in the Zone Ⅲ. The thickness of β/B2 phase, the average grain size of α_(2)phase and the amount of β-Ti phase increased with the increase of bonding temperature or bonding time. The growth activation energies of β/B2 and α_(2)phases were 582 and 253 kJ/mol, respectively. The joint acquired at 1000 °C, 10 min and 10 MPa showed the maximum shear strength of 308 MPa. Fracture mainly occurred along the interfaces between Zone Ⅰ and HNBG alloy, and between Zone I and Zone Ⅱ. Fracture mechanism of the joint was characterized by brittleness rupture along the phase boundary.

文摘Superplastic forming is a practical method to manufacture complex-shaped parts of titanium alloys with large deformation.Laminated parts of dissimilar titanium alloys fabricated by superplastic forming can achieve excellent performance by combining the advantages of components.This work displays the superplastic tension behavior and microstructural evolution of dissimilar TC4/SP700 laminate prepared by the diffusion bonding process.Two titanium alloys can achieve metallurgical bonding at parameters of 800℃/1 h/5 MPa.Except for dynamic recrystallization and grain growth behaviors upon superplastic tension,stress-induced phase transformation plays an important role inαtoβphase transformation apart from the elevated temperature.The superplastic deformation can be attributed to the grain boundary sliding accommodated multiplex motion of dislocations.In addition,the retained strengths of all dissimilar TC4/SP700 laminates after superplastic deformation with different strain rates and temperatures range from 807 to 890 MPa.
文摘In this study, intermetallic TiAl and steel 40Cr are diffusion bonded successfully by using a composite barrien layer Ti/V/Cu. In this case, a diphase Ti 3Al+TiAl layer and a Ti solid solution which enhance the strength of the joint are obtained at the TiAl/Ti interface. The interface of TiAl/Ti/V/Cu/40Cr was free from intermetallic compounds and other brittle phases, and the strength of the joint was as high as 420 MPa , very close to that of the TiAl base. This method gives a reliable bonding of intermetallic TiAl and steel 40Cr.

文摘The diffusion bonding of γ-TiAl alloy to Ti-6Al-4V alloy at different temperatures ranging from 1 073 to 1 173 K under an applied stress of 100 MPa for 2 h was studied. The observation of the microstructure reveals that sound joints between the γ-TiAl alloy and the Ti-alloy without any pores or cracks can be achieved through diffusion bonding at temperatures over 1 073 K under the applied stress of 100 MPa for 2 h. The bond is composed of two zones, and its width increases with the increase of bonding temperature. The EDS chemical composition profiles indicate that there is a diffusion flux of Al atoms from γ-TiAl alloy towards the Ti alloy and of Ti atoms in the opposite direction. The three point-bending of the joints bonded under different conditions was tested and the fracture mode was analyzed by SEM observation.

文摘The joining of AZ31B Mg alloy to 6061 Al alloy was investigated at different joining temperatures by vacuum diffusion bonding method. The microstructures of Mg/Al dissimilar joints were studied by means of optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray （EDX）. The results show that the thickness of each layer in the diffusion zone increases with the increase of joining temperature, and the microstructure changes obviously. At joining temperature of 440 °C, the diffusion zone is composed of Mg2Al3 layer and Mg17Al12 layer. At joining temperatures of 460 and 480 °C, the diffusion zone is composed of Mg2Al3 layer, Mg17Al12 layer, eutectic layer of Mg17Al12 and Mg-based solid solution. The width of high-hardness zone in the joint increases with increasing joining temperature, and the micro-hardnesses at different locations in the diffusion zone are significantly different. The joining temperature of 440 °C offers the highest tensile strength of 37 MPa, and the corresponding joint exhibits brittle fracture at the intermetallic compound layer of Mg17Al12.
文摘Intermetallics TiAl was diffusion-bonded to steel 40Cr in vacuum furnace with interlayer V/Cu. The results show that infinite sosoloid that made for bond performance is formed at the interface of V/Cu and Cu/40Cr, and three acting layers are formed at the interface of TiAl/V including Ti 3Al layer at TiAl side, intermittent V 5Al 8 layer in the middle and Ti-V sosoloid at V side. Fragile reactors V 5Al 8 arising at the interface lead to bad performance of joints, and the strength of the joint is 200 MPa, while it was still higher than the strength of the joint intermetallics TiAl to 40Cr steel diffusion-bonded directly. Intermetallic TiAl and 40Cr steel are diffusion-bonded successfully by using a composite isolation layer V/Cu.

文摘The interfacial behaviours of micro-deformed diffusion bonded joints were systematically revealed.There were two typical bonding interfacial characteristics:“bond line”and migrated grain boundaries.“Bond line”was featured as fine grains and phases on the interface.The critical temperature of joint characterized by“bond line”was 950℃.The increased temperature 1000℃was a critical temperature which interfacial characteristic“bond line”eliminated.The second type was characterized by interfacial migration over 1000℃,in which the bonding interfaces were composed of straight grain boundaries,triple junctions,and protruding and expanding interfacial migrated grains.Additionally,two different interface migration and joint forming mechanisms were observed with elevated bonding temperature:recrystallization and grain recombination.The first one was the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization mechanism,which was observed in the joints bonded at 950℃and 1000℃.The second mechanism was the grain boundary migration mechanism based on the grain growth mechanism,of which the typical bonding temperature was 1050℃.The joint was bonded under two kinds of grain boundary migration,including strain-induced interface grain boundary migration and interface grain boundary migration at triple junction.
文摘Vacuum diffusion bonding of a TiAl based alloy (TAD) to a titanium alloy (TC2) was carried out at 1 273 K for 15～120 min under a pressure of 25 MPa . The kinds of the reaction products and the interface structures of the joints were investigated by SEM, EPMA and XRD. Based on this, a formation mechanism of the interface structure was elucidated. Experimental and analytical results show that two reaction layers have formed during the diffusion bonding of TAD to TC2. One is Al rich α(Ti)layer adjacent to TC2,and the other is (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer adjacent to TAD,thus the interface structure of the TAD/TC2 joints is TAD/(Ti 3Al+TiAl)/α(Ti)/TC2.This interface structure forms according to a three stage mechanism,namely(a)the occurrence of a single phase α(Ti)layer;(b)the occurrence of a duplex phase(Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer;and(c)the growth of the α(Ti)and (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layers.
文摘Al 7075 and Mg AZ31 alloys were joined by diffusion bonding method. Joining process was performed in pressure range of 10-35 MPa at temperatures of 430-450 ℃ for 60 min under a vacuum of 13.3 MPa. The microstructure evaluation, phase analysis and distribution of elements at the interface were done using scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The pressure of 25 MPa was determined as the optimum pressure in which the minimum amount of plastic deformation takes place at the joint. Different reaction layers containing intermetallic compounds, such as Al12Mg17, Al3Mg2 andα（Al） solid solution, were observed, in interfacial transition zone （ITZ）. Thickness of layers was increased with increasing the operating temperature. According to the results, diffusion of aluminum atoms into magnesium alloy was more and the interface movement towards the Al alloy was observed. The maximum bond strength of 38 MPa was achieved at the temperature of 440 ℃ and pressure of 25 MPa. Fractography studies indicated that the brittle fracture originated from Al3Mg2 phase.

文摘The Ti−6Al−4V(TC4)alloy powder and forged solid were diffusion bonded by hot isostatic pressing(HIP)to fabricate a powder−solid part.The microstructure of the powder−solid part was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).The microhardness and tensile tests were conducted to investigate the mechanical properties.The results showed that the powder compact was near-fully dense,and the powder/solid interface was tight and complete.The microhardness of the interface was higher than that of the powder compact and solid.The fractures of all powder−solid tensile specimens were on the solid side rather than at the interface,which indicated that a good interfacial strength was obtained.The tensile strength and elongation of the powder compact were higher than those of the solid.It is concluded that the HIP process can successfully fabricate high-quality Ti−6Al−4V powder−solid parts,which provides a novel near net shape technology for titanium alloys.

文摘The thermal properties of Mg alloys require further optimization to encounter the increasingly severe heat dissipation demands of high-power densities and highly integrated electronic components.In this study,a novel strategy of reaction-tunable diffusion bonding(RDB)was applied to manipulate the inter-facial reaction in the multilayered Cu mesh/ZK61 Mg foil composites.The displacement of the punch was utilized to quantify the degree of reactive diffusion with adjustable,visible,and high flexibility.The inter-face was artificially manipulated to produce the fluid Mg-Zn eutectic liquid phase filling the interfacial gap at high temperature for a short time,followed by diffusion bonding at low temperature.The thermal conductivity of the composites first increased and then decreased,which was synthetically affected by the amelioration of metallurgical bonding and the moderately reactive consumption of Cu.The reinforcement Cu was converted from the Hasselman-Johnson model to the Rayleigh model,reflecting the optimization of the interfacial bonding quality.The composites with thermal conductivity and lightweight synergy were fabricated successfully.Therefore,RDB is a progressive technique,shedding lights on the innovative lightweight metal matrix composites with high thermal conductivities relevant to the 5G communications and new energy vehicle industries.
