The brazing of TiC cermet to iron was carried out at 1223K for 5-20min using Ag-Cu-Zn filler metal. The formation phase and interface structure of the joints were investigated by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the joint strength was tested by shearing method. The results showed: there occurred three new formation phases, Cu(s.s), FeNi and Ag(s.s) in TiC cermet/iron joint. The interface structure was expressed as TiC cermet/Cu(s.s)+FeNi/Ag(s.s)+a little Cu(s.s)+a little FeNi/Cu(s.s)+FeNi/iron, With brazing time increasing, there appeared highest shear strength of the joints, the value of which was up to 252.2MPa when brazing time was 10min.
Vacuum diffusion bonding of TiB2 cermet to TiAl -based alloys using Ni interlayer has been carried out at 1123～1323 K for0.6～3.6 ks under 80 MPa. The effects of joining parameters on the microstructure of the joints and mechanical propertieswas investigated. The results showed that a TiAlNi2 intermetallic layer and two Ti, Al, Ni solid solution layers were formed atthe interface of Ni/TiAl. The shear strength was 110 MPa with bonding temperature at 1223 K, bonding time for 1.8 ks andbonding pressure under 80 MPa.
