Numerical simulation of TiC cermet/iron joint brazed with Ag-Cu-Zn filler metal

摘要

Stress concentration zones and the maximum value of thermal stress of TiC cermet/iron joint brazed with Ag-Cu-Zn filler metal during cooling were studied. The results show that when the temperature is 300K, the maximum values of shear stress and tensile stress on TiC cermet/iron interface both appear on the tip of Ag-Cu-Zn/iron interface, which makes Ag-Cu-Zn/iron interface become weak zone of the interface. Tensile stress on iron undersurface relaxes to the inner of iron, and the compression stress on iron undersurface concentrates on the side of iron as the temperature decreases, so cracks appear easily at the site where tensile and compression stress cross.
