Abstract
A CuTiZrNi amorphous filler metal was fabricated and utilized for brazing high Nb–TiAl alloys and GH4169 superalloys. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the high Nb–TiAl/GH4169 joints brazed from 900 °C to 1020 °C temperature range were studied. Results showed that the high Nb–TiAl/GH4169 joints consisted of three zones. The interfacial microstructure of the joints was high Nb–TiAl alloy/Ti3Al + Al3(Ni, Cu)Ti2 + Al(Ni, Cu)2Ti/AlCu2(Ti, Zr) + (Ti, Zr)(Ni, Cu) + Ti2(Ni, Cu)/Cr-rich (Cr, Ni, Fe)ss + Ni-rich (Ni, Cr, Fe)ss/GH4169 alloy. The element diffusion between the substrates and the filler alloy was intensified as the brazing temperature increased, and the interfacial reaction layer thickened. At 960 °C, the joint exhibited a maximum shear strength which was approximately 241.9 MPa. At higher brazing temperatures, the excessive AlCu2(Ti, Zr) phase and coarse Ti2(Ni, Cu) deteriorated the joint properties due to their inherent brittleness.
