Solid-State Diffusion Bonding of NbSS/Nb5Si3 Composite Using Ni/Al and Ti/Al Nanolayers

doi:10.1007/s40195-019-00906-2

Abstract

Abstract:

Diffusion bonding of refractory Nb-Si-based alloy was performed with Ni/Al and Ti/Al nanolayers under the condition of 1473 K/30 MPa/60 min. The Nb_SS/Nb₅Si₃ in situ composite with the nominal composition of Nb-22Ti-16Si-3Cr-3Al-2Hf was used as the parent material. The joint microstructures were examined by using a scanning electron microscope eqsuipped with an X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer. Shear test was conducted for the bonded joints at room temperature. Within the joint bonded with Ni/Al multilayer, element diffusion occurred between the base metal and the nanolayer, with the reaction products of AlNb₂?+?Ni₃Al, NiAl and AlNi₂Ti phases. The average shear strength was 182 MPa. While using Ti/Al multilayer, the interface mainly consisted of TiAl, (Ti,Nb)Al and (Ti,Nb)₂Al phases, and the corresponding joints exhibited an increased strength of 228 MPa. In this case, the fracture mainly took place in the TiAl phase and presented a typical brittle characteristic.

Key words: Nb_SS/Nb₅Si₃ composite, Diffusion bonding, Nanolayer, Shear strength
