Vacuum brazing of titanium with aluminum filler metals.

Vacuum Brazing of Zirconium-Based Alloy and 321 Stainless Steel Using Titanium Based Filler Metal

Both Zirconium-based alloys and 321stainless steel are widely used as engineering alloys due to their good mechanical properties. Conventional fusion welding techniques for Zr alloys and stainless steel are not feasible due to the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds such as (Zr3Fe, ZrFe2 and Zr2Fe) and corrosion cracking. Brazing is one of the most wide...

Wettability of Brazing Filler Metals on Copper and Copper Alloys

The possibility of alloying can not be avoided at the interface between molten brazing filler metal and base metal in brazing, so the wettability of brazing filler metal can not be easily explained theoretically. We used the original apparatus for wettability test and investigated the relation between the wettability of brazing filler metals of Ag-P-Cu and Ag-Cu-Zn-Cd systems on copper and the ...

The Microstructural Evolution of Vacuum Brazed 1Cr18Ni9Ti Using Various Filler Metals

The microstructures and weldability of a brazed joint of 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel with BNi-2, BNi82CrSiBFe and BMn50NiCuCrCo filler metals in vacuum were investigated. It can be observed that an interdiffusion region existed between the filler metal and the base metal for the brazed joint of Ni-based filler metals. The width of the interdiffusion region was about 10 μm, and the mic...

Multiphysics Simulation and Experimental Investigation of Aluminum Wettability on a Titanium Substrate for Laser Welding-Brazing Process

The control of metal wettability is a key-factor in the field of brazing or welding-brazing. The present paper deals with the numerical simulation of the whole phenomena occurring during the assembly of dissimilar alloys. The study is realized in the frame of potential applications for the aircraft industry, considering the case of the welding-brazing of aluminum Al5754 and quasi-pure titanium ...
