Description
Summary:► ZrO2 and Ti alloy were successfully brazed using amorphous filler foil. ► The microstructure and the properties of the joints were investigated. ► The strength of joints decreases with increasing heat temperature, heat time and cooling rate. ► The maximum shear strength for the brazing joints can reach 162MPa. Ceramic ZrO2 and metallic Ti–6Al–4V alloy are jointed by using a Ti33Zr17Cu50 (at.%) amorphous alloy as a solder at 1123–1273K in a high vacuum. It is demonstrated that the microstructure and mechanical properties are significantly influenced by the brazing temperature, the heat time and the cooling rate. The brazing seam jointing ZrO2 with Ti–6Al–4V is composed of ZrO2/Cu2Ti4O, (Ti,Zr)2Cu/TiO, Ti2O/CuTi2, (Ti,Zr)2Cu/CuTi2/Ti–6Al–4V alloys and compounds, of which the increasing thickness weakens the shear strength as the brazing temperature, the heat time the cooling rate increase. The maximum shear strength of the brazing joints reaches 162MPa with the optimal technical parameters: the brazing temperature of 1173K, the heat time of 10min and the cooling rate of 5K/min. The fracture of the joint occurs in the brittle seam layer nearby the side of ZrO2.
