Abstract

The wettability, microstructures, and bonding strength of infrared brazing Ti-15-3 and Ti <subscript>50</subscript> Ni <subscript>50</subscript> shape memory alloy using 72Ag-28Cu (wt.%) and 68.8Ag-26.7Cu-4.5Ti (wt.%) filler metals have been investigated. Only Ticusil <superscript>®</superscript> active braze readily wets both Ti <subscript>50</subscript> Ni <subscript>50</subscript> and Ti-15-3 substrates. Wetting of eutectic 72Ag-28Cu melt on Ti <subscript>50</subscript> Ni <subscript>50</subscript> base metal is greatly ameliorated by adding 4.5 wt.% Ti into the alloy. The brazed Ti-15-3/BAg-8/Ti <subscript>50</subscript> Ni <subscript>50</subscript> joint consists of Cu-Ti intermetallics in the Ag-rich matrix. The formation of interfacial Cu(Ti,V) and (Cu <subscript>x</subscript> Ni <subscript>1-x</subscript> ) <subscript>2</subscript> Ti intermetallics next to Ti-15-3 and Ti <subscript>50</subscript> Ni <subscript>50</subscript> substrates, respectively, is attributed to the wetting of both substrates. The brazed Ti-15-3/Ticusil <superscript>®</superscript> /Ti <subscript>50</subscript> Ni <subscript>50</subscript> joint shows a vigorous reaction, which results in the formation of a large amount of Ti <subscript>2</subscript> Ni intermetallics in the joint. The maximum joint strengths using BAg-8 and Ticusil <superscript>®</superscript> filler metals are 197 MPa and 230 MPa, respectively.
