Abstract
In this article, a series of Sn–xZn solders are designed for joining Mg/Al dissimilar metals by low temperature brazing. The effect of Zn content in Sn–Zn solders on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the different brazed joints are investigated. The experimental results indicate that Sn–30Zn alloy is identified as the optimized solder. Al–Sn–Zn solid solutions form and disperse in the brazing zone of the Mg/Sn–30Zn/Al brazed joint, decreasing the risk of embrittlement of the brazed joint. The average shear strength of Mg/Sn–30Zn/Al brazed joint can reach 70.73MPa. The joint fractures in the coarse blocky Mg2Sn intermetallic phases in the center of the brazing zone.
