The effect of different In contents on the melting characteristics, mechanical properties, and microstructure of 12Ag–Cu–Zn–Sn filler metal was investigated in this paper, and flame brazing of 304 stainless steel and copper plates was done using the 12Ag–Cu–Zn–Sn–xIn filler metal. The results indicate that adding appropriate amount of In can evidently decrease the solidus and liquidus temperatures and improve the wettability of the low silver based filler metals. In addition, the shear strength of 304 stainless steel and copper plates joint brazed by 12Ag–Cu–Zn–Sn–1In are satisfactory due to the solution strength effect, and scanning electron microscopy examination of the braze-zone revealed that more relatively sound joints were obtained when brazing was done with 12Ag–Cu–Zn–Sn–xIn filler metal than with Indium free one; its performance is comparable to that of the joint brazed with the 20Ag–Cu–Zn–Sn filler metal, having a remarkable silver-saving effect.

The novel low-silver 12AgCuZnSn filler metals containing In and Pr were used for flame brazing of copper and 304 stainless steel in this study. The effects of In and Pr content on the melting temperature, wettability, mechanical properties and microstructure of 12AgCuZnSn filler metal were analyzed. The results indicate that the solidus and liquidus temperatures of filler metals decrease with the addition of In. Trace amounts of Pr have little impact on the melting temperature of the low-silver filler metals. In addition, the spreading area of filler metals on copper and 304 stainless steel is improved. The highest shear strength of brazed joint is 427 MPa when the content of In and Pr are 2 wt.% and 0.15 wt.%, respectively. Moreover, it is observed that the trace amount of Pr significantly refines the microstructure of brazed joint matrix. A bright Pr3Cu4Sn4 phase is found in filler metal and brazing seam when the contents of In and Pr are 5 wt.% and 0.5 wt.%, respectively.

Erosion tests were conducted on 310 stainless steel in combustion gas atmospheres at 975°C. SiC particles of 100 mesh (150 μm) size were employed over a velocity range of 15–70 m/s at a 90 deg (perpendicular) angle of impingement. A comparison is made with results obtained at 25°C in air using the same test equipment. Scanning electron microscopy examination of the eroded surfaces revealed important information concerning the nature of the erosion-corrosion process. A multiple component test specimen is described for application in comparing alloys under nearly identical test conditions.

Single pass overlay welding of the ERNiCu-7 filler metal on the commercial pure titanium grade 2 and the 304 stainless steel using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process was studied. The ERNiCu-7 filler metal was overlay welded on the base metals with varying welding currents; it was 30A, 40A and 50A for the CP-Ti base metal and 50A, 60A and 70A for the 304SS base metal. The experimental results showed that the overlay CP-Ti welded-specimen, increasing of welding current increased bead width and decreased depth of penetration of weldment. While for the 304SS welded-specimen, increasing of welding current increased both bead width and depth of penetration. Suitable heat inputs to achieve good geometry of weldment for overlay welding were 348J/mm for CP-Ti welded-specimen and 558J/mm for 304SS welded-specimen.

The wetting and flowing behaviors of the filler metal during laser brazing process were analyzed by the computer simulation. Two situations of the wetting and flowing during laser brazing were modelled, i.e., the metled Au-18%Ni and Ag-10%Pd filler metals on the butt joint of Inconel 600, and the melted Cu-8%Sn filler metal on the dissimilar butt joint of type 304 stainless steel to Cu. The filler metal droplet wetted and spread on the base metals and simultaneously infiltrated into the joint gap with the lapse of time. The Au-Ni and Ag-Pd filler metal infiltrated into the 0.3mm wide joint gap at the completion of brazing even in the single beam brazing. The Au-Ni filler metal did not infiltrate into the joint gap completely at the brazing clearances of 0.1-0.2mm in the single beam brazing, however, it could be filled up in the joint gap in the tandem beam brazing. The Cu-Sn filler metal wetted on the both base metals of stainless steel and Cu and filled up the 0.3mm wide joint gap when the location of preheating beam deviated in 0.5mm to Cu substrate, however, it did not infiltrate into the joint gap completely at the deviation distance of preheating beam to Cu substrate being 1.0mm. It followed that the wetting and flowing behaviors of the filler metal during laser brazing process could be predicted by the computer simulation.

Brazed Joint

The microstructure and properties of a Cu/304 stainless steel dissimilar metal joint brazed with a low silver Ag16.5CuZnSn-xGa-yCe braze filler after aging treatment were investigated. The results indicated that the addition of Ce could reduce the intergranular penetration depth of the filler metal into the stainless steel during the aging process. The minimum penetration depth in the Ag16.5CuZnSn-0.15Ce brazed joint was decreased by 48.8% compared with the Ag16.5CuZnSn brazed joint. Moreover, the shear strength of the brazed joint decreased with aging time while the shear strength of the AgCuZnSn-xGa-yCe joint was still obviously higher than the Ag16.5CuZnSn joint after a 600 h aging treatment. The fracture type of the Ag16.5CuZnSn-xGa-yCe brazed joints before aging begins ductile and turns slightly brittle during the aging process. Compared to all the results, the Ag16.5CuZnSn-2Ga-0.15Ce brazed joints show the best performance and could satisfy the requirements for cost reduction and long-term use.

In this research, dissimilar joint properties of pure Cu to AISI304 stainless steel using three different filler metals were studied. In this regard, the welding process was done with gas tungsten arc welding process using ER308L, ER309L, and ERNiCrMo3 filler metals and ERNi1 butter layer. The microstructural evaluations were carried out using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The mechanical tests were conducted by microhardness, tensile, bending and impact tests, and the fracture surfaces of impact and tensile tests were studied by scanning electron microscope. The results show that there is no crack or discontinuity in the welded samples. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis revealed that the diffusion of Cu from base metal to butter layer has been occurred during welding. The microhardness profiles indicated the increase of hardness in heat-affected zone and butter layer. The welded sample with ERNiCrMo3 filler metal showed higher microhardness (200 HV) as compared with two other welded samples. The welded sample with ER309L filler metal had lower microhardness of about 150 HV. The tensile test revealed that the welded sample with ER309L filler metal showed maximum (193 MPa) and the welded sample with ER308L showed minimum (147 MPa) of ultimate tensile strength. In bending test of the welded samples with ER308L and ERNiCrMo3 filler metals, the crack and discontinuity were revealed in weld metal and heat-affected zone of Cu, respectively, while in the welded sample with ER309L filler metal no crack and discontinuity were seen. Also the welded sample with ER309L filler metal had highest impact energy of about 90 J as compared to other samples (81 and 88 J for the welded samples with ER308L and ERNiCrMo3 filler metals, respectively). The welded sample with ER309L filler metal showed more ductile fracture surface as compared with other samples.

The flame brazing of H62 brass using a novel, low-silver Cu-P brazing filler metal was investigated in this study. The effect of the addition of a trace amount of Sn on the microstructure and properties of Cu-7P-1Ag filler metals was analyzed by means of X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer. The addition of trace Sn led to a decrease in the solidus and liquidus temperatures of Cu-7P-1Ag filler metals. Meanwhile, the spreading performance of the filler metals on a H62 brass substrate was improved. The microstructure of the low-silver, Cu-P brazing filler metal was mainly composed of α-Ag solid solution, α-Cu solid solution and Cu3P; an increase of Sn content led to the transformation of the microstructure of the joints from a block to a lamellar structure. When the Sn content was 0.5 wt. %, the shear strength of the joint at room temperature reached 348 MPa, and the fracture morphologies changed from a cleavage to a quasi-cleavage structure.
