Abstract:

Both Zirconium-based alloys and 321stainless steel are widely used as engineering alloys due to their good mechanical properties. Conventional fusion welding techniques for Zr alloys and stainless steel are not feasible due to the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds such as (Zr3Fe, ZrFe2 and Zr2Fe) and corrosion cracking. Brazing is one of the most widely used techniques for joining dissimilar alloys.Using titanium base filler metal decreases the diffusion and the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds. In this study, wetting experiments were done at 820, 850, 865ºC and 3, 5, 7 and 10 min. Also, joining of these two alloys was carried out at 850 and 865ºC for 10 and 15 minutes. Optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), XRD, shear test and micro-hardness test were used for metallurgical and mechanical investigations.  The results show that 20 ºC/min heating and cooling rates at 850ºC and 10 min brazing condition lead to a proper joint without any brittle intermetallic compounds.

Investigation on effect of holding time in brazing of steel to cemented carbide using Cu-Ag alloy filler metal

Nowadays, cemented carbides-steels joints by brazing method are taken into consideration. One of the problems of these joints is the creation residual stresses that can reduce it with choose correct parameters of brazing. In this study, Silver base alloy filler containing copper, zinc and cadmium have been used in temperature 780°C and the effect of time parameter 5, 10 and 15 minutes on micros...

An investigation on metallurgical and mechanical properties of vacuum brazed Ti-6Al-4V to 316L stainless steel using Zr-based filler metal

Both Ti-6Al-4V and 316L stainless steels are widely used as engineering alloys. Fusion welding of these two alloys is not easily possible due to their incomplete solubility in each other. Brazing is one of the best choices for joining dissimilar alloys. In this study, wettability experiments were done at 940 and 970 ºC for 5, 15 and 30 min. Also, joining of these two alloys was carried out at 9...

Structural Analysis of Three-metal Explosion Joint: Zirconium-titanium-steel

Explosion metal welding is high-speed angle oblique collision of two or more metal plates caused by detonation. The metal is joined – welded under high dynamic pressure creating by plastic deformation the waves on the bond interface, accompanied by local adiabatic heating 1 . The explosive metal cladding process can be divided into three stages: a) generation of explosion energy through the det...
