Abstract

The objective of this work is focused in the accomplishment of Si3N4/Cu–Zn/AISI 304 joints and its interfacial study during liquid-state bonding. Sandwich type assemblies Si3N4/Cu–Zn/AISI 304 were produced at temperatures of 950 °C, 980 °C, and 1000 °C using different holding times (1–40 min) in argon atmosphere. The interfaces were characterized through SEM using EPMA in order to reveal the interaction between contact surfaces during joining process. The results showed that Si3N4 could not be bonded to AISI 304 at temperature lower than 1000 °C; however, successful joining was achieved at 1000 °C. Joining occurred by the formation of a reactive interface with several reaction products on the metal side of the joint. Shear testing gave a maximum joint strength of 66 MPa for Si3N4/Cu–Zn/AISI 304 samples produced at 1000 °C and 15 min, showing the intimate relationship between the interface and the joint strength.
