Abstract

ZrC-SiC ceramic and TC4 alloy were brazed using AgCuTi alloy. The microstructure and mechanical property of the joints obtained at different brazing parameters were investigated and the reaction mechanism was analyzed. The results indicated that the Ti from the AgCuTi and TC4 reacted with the ZrC in the ceramic to form different shaped TiC crystals adjacent to the ZrC-SiC ceramic. With the increase of brazing temperature or extending of holding time, the dissolution of TC4 became vigorous and much Ti dissolved into the braze alloy. As a result, Ti reacted with the Cu from AgCuTi alloy to form a series of Cu-Ti compounds in the brazing seam due to the strong affinity between Cu and Ti. The Cu-Ti compounds made the hardness and brittleness of brazing seam increase, which deteriorated the property of the brazed joint. The maximum shear strength was 39MPa obtained at 810°C for 5min.
