Abstract

In the present investigation, the process model developed in Part I has been applied to evaluate the microstructure and strength evolution during active brazing of ceramics. As a starting point, reaction-layer growth is assumed to occur isothermally with no restrictions in the supply of reactive element. Different kinds of diagrams are then constructed to show how specific process variables (e.g. the heating and cooling period, the limiting layer thickness, and the diffusion mechanism) affect the growth kinetics. It is concluded that the key to improved joint properties lies in control of the reaction-layer thickness through optimization of the brazing conditions, and an illustration of this is given.
