Abstract
The brazing of structural high-temperature-resistant nickel alloys is a predominant method in manufacturing jet engines in the aircraft industry. Ni-Cr-base brazing filler metals (BFMs) containing B and Si as the melting point depressants are used for this purpose. The presence of the latter can lead to the formation of brittle constituents in the joints, decreasing their strength, toughness and creep resistance. The structures of Hastelloy X nickel superalloy joints brazed with Palnicro 36M BFM are presented in this paper along with the mechanical properties of their particular phases as a function of brazing time. Indentation hardness, Martens hardness, reduced modulus and creep coefficient were measured using the instrumented indentation method. The elastic part of the indentation work was also calculated. Pd forms an unlimited solution with Ni, but its high content in BFM does not fundamentally change the general joint structure known from other Ni-superalloy-Ni-BFM systems. However, new Pd-containing phases are emerging. The hardest components were Ni-B and Cr-B boride phases and Pd-Ni-Si phase in MZ and the boundary of DAZ and BM. MZ reduces the plasticity of a joint to the highest extent. The hardness of particular parts in the joints and the elastic portion of the indentation work decreased with the increase in brazing time, while the reduced modulus of the indentation contact and indentation creep increased. The results of indentation creep measurements indicate that all structural components of the joints were less susceptible to creep than the parent material at room temperature.
