An Impact of Zirconium Doping of Zn-Al Braze on the Aluminum-Stainless Steel Joints Integrity During Aging
Source abstract
Abstract
This work offers an analysis of the microstructure and the growth rate of an intermetallic compound within the aged AA 6061 aluminum alloy-304 stainless steel joint brazed with Zn-15Al and Zn-15Al-0.2Zr filler metals. The effect of zirconium addition on mechanical integrity of the brazed joint was studied. The experimental results confirm that the thickness of the Fe-Al intermetallic layer formed at the brazed seam/stainless steel interface increases with the increase of the aging time. Furthermore, it is established that the growth rate of the intermetallic layer for the Zn-15Al-0.2Zr brazed joint was lower than that for Zn-15Al. The results also indicate that the shear strength of both Zn-15Al and Zn-15Al-0.2Zr brazed joints decreases monotonously during aging. The value of the strength after aging lasting for 800 h for Zn-15Al and Zn-15Al-0.2Zr has decreased by 20 and 17%, respectively. The fracture of joints occurred at the interface between the brazed seam and the Fe4Al13 intermetallic layer. The morphology of the surfaces exhibits a cleavage fracture.
