Microstructure and bonding strength of diffusion welding of Mo/Cu joints with Ni interlayer

摘要

The possibility and appropriate processing parameters of diffusion bonding of Mo and Cu using a Ni interlayer was investigated. The microstructure of the bonded joints was studied by SEM, EPMA and XRD, and the main factors affecting diffusion bonding process were analyzed. The results showed that the solid solutions formed in both Mo-Cu and Cu-Ni interfaces during the diffusion bonding process, and no inter-metallic compound appeared. The thickness of Ni layer decreased with the bonding temperature raising. The fracture of the joints had taken place in the Mo/Ni interface rather than the Ni/Cu interface. With the increasing of bonding temperature or holding time, the tensile strengths of the joints increased firstly and then decreased. The Mo/Ni/Cu joint bonded at 800℃ for 30 min exhibited a maximum value of tensile strength of 97 MPa.
