CBN-AlN composite abrasive grits and AISI 1045 steel were brazed using Ag-Cu-Ti active filler alloy by heating up to the temperature of 890,900 and 920 ℃,respectively,and then held at the temperature for 8 min.Optical microscope,scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction equipment were utilized to study the effects of heating temperature on the microstructure of the joining interface.The compressive strength of the brazed composite grits was also measured.The experimental results show that the atoms of Ti,Al,B and N have preferentially penetrated towards the joining interface of composite grits and filler alloy.The compounds of Ti-nitride,Ti-borides and Ti3AlN were formed in the reaction layer.Degradation effect was not made on the compressive strength of the CBN-AlN composite grits when the brazing process was carried out in the temperature range of 890-920 ℃.
The brazing process of cubic boron nitride (CBN) grains and AISI 1045 steel with AgCuTi-TiC mixed powder as a filler material was carried out.The joining strength and the interfacial microstructure were investigated.The experimental results indicate that the spreading of the molten filler material on AISI 1045 steel is decreased with the increase of TiC content.A good interface is formed between the TiC particulates and AgCuTi alloy through the wetting behavior.In the case of AgCuTi+16wt% TiC,the strength of the brazed steel-to-steel joints reached the highest value of 95MPa dependent upon the reinforcement effect of TiC particles within the filler layer.Brazing resultants of TiB2,TiB,and TiN are produced at the interface of the CBN grains and the AgCuTi-TiC filler layer by virtue of the interdiffusion of B,N,and Ti atoms.
