Abstract

The Nb and Nb/Ni interlayers were designed for the diffusion bonding of the hydrogenated TC4 alloy and GH3128 superalloy joint. Typical microstructure of the TC4-0.3 H/Nb(Ni/Nb)/GH3128 joints were investigated. The effects of holding temperatures and durations on the microstructure evolution of the hydrogenated TC4/GH3128 joints were investigated. The addition of a Nb interlayer can successfully suppress the brittle Ti-Ni phase formation and the maximum joint strength reached 245 MPa bonded at 860 ℃/60 min under 10 MPa. The design of the Nb/Ni interlayer successfully eliminated the unbonded voids and the Ni-Cr layer formed when bonding with a single Nb interlayer. The maximum shear strength of ˜270 MPa was achieved when bonding at 860 ℃ for 80 min under 10 MPa. Fracture mechanism of the hydrogenated TC4/GH3128 joints bonded with two interlayers were analyzed finally.
