Abstract

ZrO2 was brazed to Ti-6Al-4V using a Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 (at.%) amorphous filler in a high vacuum at 1173-1273 K. The influences of brazing temperature, holding time, and cooling rate on the microstructure and shear strength of the joints were investigated. The interfacial microstructures can be characterized as ZrO2/ZrO2−x  + TiO/(Zr,Ti)2(Cu,Ni)/(Zr,Ti)2(Cu,Ni,Al)/acicular Widmanstäten structure/Ti-6Al-4V. With the increase in the brazing temperature, both the thickness of the ZrO2−x  + TiO layer and the content of the (Zr,Ti)2(Cu,Ni) phase decreased. However, the acicular Widmanstäten structure gradually increased. With the increase in the holding time, the (Zr,Ti)2(Cu,Ni) phase decreased, and the thickness of the (Zr,Ti)2(Cu,Ni) + (Zr,Ti)2(Cu,Ni,Al) layer decreased. In addition, cracks formed adjacent to the ZrO2 side under rapid cooling. The microstructures produced under various fabrication parameters directly influence the shear strength of the joints. When ZrO2 and Ti-6Al-4V couples were brazed at 1173 K for 10 min and then cooled at a rate of 5 K/min, the maximum shear strength of 95 MPa was obtained.
