Microstructure and Shear Strength of Brazing TiAl/Si 3 N 4 Joints with Ag-Cu Binary Alloy as Filler Metal

Vacuum brazing of TiAl intermetallic alloy to Si₃N₄ ceramics was performed using Ag-28Cu (wt.%) filler alloy. The brazing joints obtained at different brazing temperatures were studied in this work. The microstructure and the shear strength were analyzed in detail. The results show that the brazed joints could be divided into three regions: AlCu₂Ti reaction layer near the Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb alloy, a typical Ag-Cu eutectic structure and a thin continuous TiN + Ti₅Si₃ reaction layer near the Si₃N₄ ceramics. The microstructure varied as the brazing temperature was increased from 1153 K/15 min to 1193 K/15 min. The shear strength of the joints first increased as the brazing temperature increased from 1153 K to 1173 K, and then decreased. The maximum shear strength reached 105.5 MPa at 1173 K/15 min and the mechanism was discussed.
