Abstract

Joining ceramics and metals is important to expand their application scope in the nuclear industry. The brazing of SiC and Mo was conducted using a Nb0.74CoCrFeNi2 eutectic high-entropy alloy filler. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were examined at different brazing temperatures. As the temperature increased, the eutectic structure gradually disappeared, and a layered structure was formed at the brazed joint. An increase in the MoNi phase content can improve joint strength owing to differences in the thermal expansion coefficient and lattice mismatch between phases. The joints exhibited a maximum shear strength of 62 MPa at 1300 °C. Finite element analysis results demonstrated that the presence of a Cr0.46Mo0.4Si0.14 phase causes the concentration of residual stress. Brittle fracture occurred mainly in the Cr0.46Mo0.4Si0.14 phase, causing the rupture of the joint. This study provides valuable insights into the use of eutectic high-entropy alloys as fillers to establish a strong and reliable connection between ceramics and metals.
