Abstract

The brazing ability and the mechanical shear strength of the joint of the dissimilar pair of TiC/Cu–20Ni composite to Cu–20Ni alloy were investigated. The filler material was a film of the amorphous base-nickel alloy BNi-3 containing B and Si as melting point depressants that improve the fluidity of the liquid formed. The composite with 60 vol% reinforcement of TiC particles was manufactured by liquid infiltration. As a result of brazing at 1060 °C, secondary TiC fines formed due to a solution–precipitation phenomenon of the surface of the reinforcement in contact with the joint derived from the high-nickel content in the molten filler material. The greater the bonding time, the greater the resistance of the TiC/Cu–20Ni||BNi-3||Cu–20Ni assembly, achieving a maximum shear strength of 101.8 MPa. The secondary particles at the interface and the greater diffusion of filler material species over time allowed the increase in shear strength.
