Abstract

AbstractSi3N4/nickel‐base superalloy (Inconel‐625) and Si3N4/Si3N4 joints with refractory metal (W and Mo) interlayers were vacuum brazed using a Ti‐active braze Cu‐ABA (92.75Cu–3Si–2Al–2.25Ti) at 1317 K for 30 min with the following interlayered arrangements: Si3N4/Mo/W/Inconel and Si3N4/Mo/W/Si3N4. The joints exhibited Ti segregation at the Si3N4/Cu‐ABA interface, elemental interdiffusion across the joint interfaces, and sound metallurgical bonding. Knoop microhardness profiles revealed hardness gradients across the joints that mimicked the interlayered arrangement. The compressive shear strength of Si3N4/Si3N4 joints both with and without W and Mo layers was ∼142 MPa but the strength of Si3N4/Inconel joints increased from ∼9 MPa for directly bonded joints without interlayers to 53.5 MPa for joints with Mo and W interlayers.
