Abstract

A nickel based superalloy honeycomb sandwich was manufactured by high temperature brazing. The microstructure evolution and the out of plate mechanical properties were investigated for honeycomb sandwiches aged at 1000°C in the present paper. The maximum tensile stress was 28·5 MPa and the compressive yield strength was 29·6 MPa for the original specimens. These parameters decreased to 22·9 and 20·5 MPa for specimens aged for 2 h, to 18·2 and 12·2 MPa for specimens aged for 5 h and to 20·2 and 14·3 MPa for specimens aged for 10 h respectively. With increasing aging time the tensile elongation decreased, the intermetallic compounds and the eutectic structure in the brazing region disappeared, and the solid solution approaching the matrix gradually increased.
