Titanium and zirconia (ZrO2) ceramics are widely used in biomedical fields. This study aims to achieve reliable brazed joints of titanium/ZrO2 using biocompatible Au filler for implantable medical products. The effects of brazing temperature and holding time on the interfacial microstructures and mechanical properties of titanium/Au/ZrO2 joints were fully investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that the typical interfacial microstructure of the titanium/Au/ZrO2 joint was titanium/Ti3Au layer/TiAu layer/TiAu2 layer/TiAu4 layer/TiO layer/ZrO2 ceramic. With an increasing brazing temperature or holding time, the thickness of the Ti3Au + TiAu + TiAu2 layer increased gradually. The growth of the TiO layer was observed, which promoted metallurgical bonding between the filler metal and ZrO2 ceramic. The optimal shear strength of ~35.0 MPa was obtained at 1150 °C for 10 min. SEM characterization revealed that cracks initiated and propagated along the interface of TiAu2 and TiAu4 reaction layers.

Reliable ceramics/metal joints have an extensive application in the aerospace and biomedical area. However, ZrO2ceramic has not been investigated systematically compared to the Si3N4and Al2O3ceramic. Therefore, successful brazing of ZrO2ceramic and Ti-6A-4V alloy was achieved by using a binary active Ti-28Ni filler metal in this paper. The effect of holding time on the microstructure of ZrO2 ceramic/filler metal interface and mechanical properties of brazed joints was investigated. The results indicated that the representative interfacial microstructure was ZrO2ceramic/Ti2O/Ni2Ti4O/Ti-rich phase/Ti2Ni+α-Ti. With the increase of holding time, the thickness of Ti-rich layer in the interface of ZrO2/Ti-6Al-4Vjoint decreased obviously due to the diffusion of Ti atoms. Substantial brittle intermetallic compounds Ti2Ni and Ni2Ti4O were formed in the joint, which were detrimental to the mechanical properties of the brazed joints. The maximum shear strength of joint was 112.7 MPa when brazed at 1060 °C for 10 min.

Ti(C,N)-based cermets with multicomponent ingredients were prepared using vacuum sintering technology. The effect of molding agents, binder phase and sintering temperature on Ti(C,N)-based cermets were studied. The optimum molding performance was obtained by adding 2% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-1788). The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were investigated. The Ti(C,N)-based cermet with a weight percentage of TiC:TiN:Ni:Co:Mo:WC:Cr3C2:C = 40:10:20:10:7:8:4:1 and sintered at 1450 °C had the optimal mechanical properties. The relative bending strength, Vickers hardness, elastic modulus and wear resistance were 2010 MPa, 15.01 GPa, 483.57 GPa and 27 mg, respectively. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD), backscatter scanning electron microscopy pictures (SEM–BSE), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and optical micrographs of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were characterized.

TiB2-WC-TiC-Ni composite tool materials were fabricated using Ni as sintering additive by vacuum hot-pressing technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. The composite was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The microstructure of TiB2-WC-30wt.%TiC-Ni composite containing fine WC grains, TiC grains and uniform TiB2grains. A lot of pores and coarse grains were found in TiB2-WC-10wt.%TiC-Ni composite. The pores, brittle phases and the coarse grains were harmful to the improvement of the mechanical properties of the composite. The good wettability and the adequate liquid not only inhibited the formation of the pores and the coarse grains, but also strengthened the interface energy among the grains. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness of TiB2-WC-30wt.%TiC-Ni composite were 996.6±113.6MPa, 7.64±0.28MPa•m1/2and 23.58±0.82GPa, respectively.

The effects of brazing time on elements diffusion and bonding strength of vacuum brazed joints of 15-5PH stainless steel using filler metal BNi-2 were investigated. The results showed that the brazing time determined the content of diffused elements. If holding time is short the distribution of melting point depressants (MPD) concentrated on the middle zone of the joint, and the generation of brittle phases in the joint was unavoidable. With increasing time, MPD can diffuse to base metal adequately and full solid solution of nickel formed in the brazing joint. Joint strength firstly increased and then decreased with prolonging holding time.

Porous Copper (Cu) was brazed to Cu plates using Cu-9.7Sn-5.7Ni-7P amorphous filler metal. The effects of brazing parameters on the porous Cu and brazed joints were investigated. The furnace brazing temperatures employed were 660 °C and 680 °C, and the holding times were 10 and 15 min. After brazing, the microstructure was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscope (EDS). SEM results showed that the thickness of the brazed seam at the base joint decreased with increasing temperature and time. At low brazing temperature, microvoids and cracks were observed at the joint interface. The microvoids and cracks disappeared in the sample brazed at 680 °C for 15 min, and higher diffusion of the filler was noted in the overall bonded region. The formation of Cu-P, Cu-Ni, and Ni-Sn phases at the joint interface was validated using X-ray diffraction. The phases formed increased the hardness of the brazed joints and porous Copper. It was observed that the rigidity of porous Copper tends to increase due to surface hardening effects. The rigidity of porous Cu after brazing is important in ensuring minimal deformation during cooling device servicing, which is an integral feature of prospect product development.

Brazing experiments between tungsten and MA956 ODS steel were conducted at [Formula: see text] with different holding time to investigate the interface microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the brazed joints. The interface microstructures were analyzed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the mechanical properties of the joints were measured to find the optimal brazing parameter. The results show that tungsten and MA956 steel has been successfully joined by brazing. The intermetallic compound of Ni–W formed at the W/BNi-2 interface, which was detrimental to the strength of the joint. Due to the excellent mutual solubility between Fe and Ni, no new formed intermetallic compound was found at MA956-brazing filler interface. The shear strength of the brazed joints with BNi-2 filler reached 246 MPa at the optimal brazing parameter [Formula: see text].

FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) powders prepared by mechanical alloying from different initial feedstock materials (Fe, Al, Si, FeAl27) were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation techniques were used to analyze microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus). Finite element model was developed to account for the decrease in measured values of mechanical properties of powder particles with increasing penetration depth caused by surrounding soft resin used for embedding powder particles. Progressive homogenization of the powders’ microstructure and an increase of hardness and Young’s modulus with milling time were observed and the time for complete homogenization was estimated.

Organoclay nanoparticles (Cloisite® C10A, Cloisite® C15) and their combination with carbon black (N330) were studied as fillers in chloroprene/natural/butadiene rubber blends to prepare nanocomposites. The effect of filler type and load on the physical mechanical properties of nanocomposites was determined and correlated with its structure, compatibility and cure properties using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and rheometric analysis. Physical mechanical properties were improved by organoclays at 5–7 phr. Nanocomposites with organoclays exhibited a remarkable increase up to 46% in abrasion resistance. The improvement in properties was attributed to good organoclay dispersion in the rubber matrix and to the compatibility between them and the chloroprene rubber. Carbon black at a 40 phr load was not the optimal concentration to interact with organoclays. The present study confirmed that organoclays can be a reinforcing filler for high performance applications in rubber nanocomposites.

Natural stones (limestones, granites, and marble) from mines located in northeastern Brazil were investigated to discover their potential for use in civil construction. The natural stones were characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and optical microscopy. The physical-mechanical properties (apparent density, porosity, water absorption, compressive and flexural strength, impact, and abrasion) and chemical resistance properties were also evaluated. The results of the physical-mechanical analysis indicated that the natural stones investigated have the potential to be used in different environments (interior, exterior), taking into account factors such as people’s circulation and exposure to chemical agents.
