Abstract
In the later stages of solidification of zirconium-containing superalloys, the concentration of zirconium in the interdendritic melts is above 10 wt%. The γ dendrites formed in the early stage of solidification may be considered to be joined by the interdendritic zirconium-rich melt. Based on the composition of the zirconium-rich melt, an Ni-10Co-8Cr-4W-13Zr (wt %) alloy was selected as an interlayer alloy for brazing and transient liquid-phase (TLP) bonding of single crystal superalloys. All the elements in the interlayer alloy are beneficial to the single-crystal superalloys. A bonding microstructure which is very similar to that of the base alloy was obtained by means of the TLP process using this interlayer alloy. In the present work, the microstructural characteristics of the interlayer alloy and the phase relationships in the bond during brazing and TLP processes were investigated.
