Influence of holding time on microstructure and shear strength of Mg alloy/steel joint diffusion bonded with Zn－5Al interlayer

The diffusion bonding of AZ31B Mg alloy and Q235 steel was investigated with a Zn-5Al alloy as interlayer and under different holding time ranging from 3 to 1 200 s.The microstructure and phase compositions of bonded joints were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods.The shear strength of Mg alloy/steel joints was measured by tensile tester.It was found that the microstructure of bonded joints evolved dramatically along with the prolongation of holding time.Under the holding time of 3 s, the main part of joint was composed of MgZn2 phase and dispersed Al-rich solid solution particles.When increased the holding time more than 60 s, the excessive solution of AZ31B into the interfacial reaction area led to the formation of coarse phase and eutectic microstructure, and also the complex Fe-Al and Mg-Al-Zn IMCs at transition layer closed to Q235 steel side.According to the tensile testing characterizations, the joints obtained under holding time of 3 s exhibited the best shear strength of 84 MPa, and the fracture occurred at the intermediary part of joint where the flexible Al-rich solid solution particles could help to impede the microcrack propagations.With prolonging the holding time to 600 s, the shear strength of joints was deteriorated enormously and the fracture position was shifted to the transition layer part closed to Q235 steel.     

Investigation on microstructure and mechanical properties of diffusion bonded Al/Mg2Si metal matrix composite using copper interlayer

Diffusion bonding of Al/Mg₂Si metal matrix composite (MMC) using Cu interlayer at optimal bonding temperature of 540 °C for various bonding durations was investigated. This metal matrix composite (MMC) containing 15% Mg₂Si particles was produced by in situ technique. Specific diffusion bonding process was introduced as a low vacuum technique. The composition and microstructure of the joined areas were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Microhardness and shear tests were conducted to the samples to evaluate the effect of bonding duration on weldability. Several different diffusion layers exist at the bond region depending on the bonding duration. The shear strength of joints increased with bonding duration due to elimination of CuAl₂ brittle diffusion layer.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of diffusion bonded titanium/304 stainless steel joint with pure Ag interlayer

Abstract

In the present study, diffusion bonding of commercially pure titanium to 304 stainless steel (SS) using a pure Ag interlayer was carried out. It is found that the pure Ag interlayer can effectively block the interdiffusion and interaction between Ti and SS. The resultant joints were composed of Ti substrate, Ti–Ag solid solution, TiAg intermetallic phase, the remnant Ag interlayer and SS. Upon tensile loading, fracture took place through the remnant Ag interlayer, indicating that the TiAg intermetallic phase exhibits no detrimental effect on the strength of the joints. A maximum tensile strength of 421 MPa was achieved, which is notably improved compared with previous results. Furthermore, extensive dimples were observed on the fracture surfaces, clearly indicating that the joints were ductile in nature.     

Formation mechanisms of high quality diffusion bonded martensitic stainless steel joints

Abstract

Diffusion bonding of martensitic stainless steel was conducted at different times. Based on the interface characteristic and shear strength, bonding mechanisms were discussed. Results showed that the bonding quality was controlled by void shrinkage and interface grain boundary migration. Large voids with scraggly edges changed to small voids with smooth edges, leading to an increase in interface bonding ratio. Two cases of interface grain boundary migration were revealed: interface grain boundary migration at the triple junction induced by the reduction in grain boundary energy and strain induced interface grain boundary migration resulted from the stored energy. Owing to the void shrinkage and interface grain boundary migration, the shear strength of the joint matched that of the base material.

Effect of annealing temperature on joints of diffusion bonded Mg/Al alloys

To study the effect of annealing temperature on the joints between magnesium and aluminum alloys, and improve the properties of bonding layers, composite plates of magnesium alloy (AZ31B) and aluminum alloy (6061) were welded using the vacuum diffusion bonding method. The composite specimens were continuously annealed in an electrical furnace under the protection of argon gas. The microstructures were then observed using scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffractometry was used to investigate the residual stresses in the specimens. The elemental distribution was analyzed with an electron probe micro analyzer. The tensile strength and hardness were also measured. Results show that the diffusion layers become wide as the heat treatment temperature increases, and the residual stress of the specimen is at a minimum and tensile strength is the largest when being annealed at 250 °C. Therefore, 250 °C is the most appropriate annealing temperature.

Effects of compressive strain on the evolution of interfacial strength of steel/nickel solid-state bonding at low temperature

Solid-state bonding between ultralow-carbon steel and pure nickel was conducted by hot pressing with various compressive strain ranging from 5 to 15% and subsequent isothermal holding at 923?K. It was found that the interfacial strength of contact area is accounted for by the evolution of the intrinsic strength of the interface and the amount of plastic energy dissipation at the crack tip during interface fracture. The compression induces severe deformation around the interface and consequently inhibits the plastic energy dissipation during interface fracture. In the first stage of isothermal holding, the residual strain around the interface on the steel side is reduced by recovery process, which concurrently decreases in the yield stress of the area adjacent to the interface. This promotes plastic energy dissipation of the area, leading to a significant increase in interfacial strength in the first stage.     

Effect of W on microstructure of high strength and toughness steels

The effect of W on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of ultrahigh strength low alloy steels was carried out. The microstructure of 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNb and 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNbW steels under quenched conditions were investigated by metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Thermodynamic calculation was also conducted. The results showed that the addition of W made undissolved carbides more and finer, which exerted strong pinning force on migrating packet boundary and improved tensile strength significantly. M 6 C particles in 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNb steel were disappeared above 1193 K, while the M 6 C particles in 30Cr3Si2Mn2NiMoNbW steel were disappeared above 1253 K, the calculation results were in agreement with the experimental.

Effect of low temperature exposure on impact characteristics of epoxy bonded high strength steels

Abstract

In the development of vehicle structures, the proper selection of adhesives to bond the steels is important for safety of operation. In this study, toughened epoxy was tested for the ability to bond steels developed for low temperature use. Lap shear bonded DP600 and DP780 steel joints were prepared and tested in open air at ambient temperature and inside an environmental chamber at ?40°C respectively using a split Hopkinson tensile bar machine. The impact properties of bulk adhesive at ?40°C were also measured. It was found that the exposure of joints to a ?40°C environment had little influence on impact strength and energy absorption. Scanning electron microscopy of fracture surfaces indicates differences in fracture paths and interfacial regions for the ?40°C exposed specimens. Changes in the interphase region caused by low temperature exposure may contribute to an increased susceptibility of the adhesive joint to bond degradation.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of diffusion bonded joints between tungsten and F82H steel using a titanium interlayer

Diffusion bonding between W and ferritic/martensitic steel F82H using a Ti interlayer was carried out in vacuum at temperature range of 850–950 °C for 1 h with 10 MPa. Metallographic analysis with field-emission scanning electron microscopy revealed excellent bonding at both W/Ti and Ti/F82H interfaces. The chemical compositions of the reaction products were analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy and their existence were confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. α–β Ti solid solution was detected at W/Ti interface, while the reaction phases at Ti/F82H interface are dependent on the joining temperature. Joint strength was evaluated and the variations in strength of the joints were significantly related to the microstructural evolution of the diffusion zone. All the joints fractured at Ti/F82H interface during shear testing. The hardness distribution across the joining interfaces was also determined.
