Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of connection of nonmetal and metal dissimilar materials, in particular to an active brazing method for improving the performance of a graphite/copper dissimilar material joint.

Background

Graphite has high thermoelectric conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, high chemical stability and better high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, is an indispensable structural material, high temperature material, conductive material, wear-resistant material and functional material in national economic development, and is widely applied to the fields of metallurgy, chemical industry, electronics, electrical appliances, machinery, nuclear energy, aerospace industry and the like. However, graphite has low strength and poor processability.

Copper and its alloy have excellent electric and heat conductivity, better intensity, ductility and machinability. The graphite and the copper are connected together, so that the complementation of the performances of the two materials can be realized, and a composite material structure with high electric conductivity, high heat conductivity and certain mechanical strength is formed. However, the graphite and the copper have great differences in physical and chemical properties such as melting point, thermal expansion coefficient, crystal structure and the like, so that the graphite and the copper are difficult to weld and connect.

An active brazing method using alloy containing active elements such as Ti, Zr and the like as brazing filler metal is a process method for realizing better connection of graphite and copper. In the active brazing process, active elements of the brazing filler metal react with graphite to form a TiC, ZrC and other compound layer on the surface of the graphite, so that the wetting of the brazing filler metal and the graphite is improved, and the connection of the graphite and the brazing filler metal is realized. At present, the active solder mainly comprises an Ag base, a Cu base, a Ti base and an Sn base, wherein the Ag-Cu-Ti solder is mainly used for connecting graphite and copper.

Zhuyan and the like (the structure and strength of a graphite and copper vacuum brazing joint [ J ], journal of welding, 2011, 32 (6): 81-84) adopt 72Ag-28Cu-1.8Ti brazing filler metal to carry out vacuum brazing connection on graphite and copper, and the shear strength of the joint reaches the maximum value of 17MPa under the vacuum brazing condition that the brazing temperature is 870 ℃ and the heat preservation time is 15 min.

Study on vacuum brazing of tungsten, graphite and copper with Ag-Cu-Ti active brazing filler metal [ J ], novel technology, 2002(6): 40-42) in Zhonggui et al (Ag-Cu-Ti active brazing filler metal is used for brazing graphite and copper under the conditions of 850-. Therefore, the joint strength is still lower when graphite/copper dissimilar materials are connected by the conventional active brazing method.

In recent years, Ag-Cu-In-Ti quaternary solders have been studied for SiO_2f/SiO₂Composite material, niobium alloy and SiO_2f/SiO₂The composite material is connected with the molybdenum alloy, the silicon carbide ceramic and the silicon carbide ceramic, the AlN ceramic and the kovar alloy, and the NiTiNb alloy in a brazing way.

For example, Chenbo, Wushi Biao, etc. (vacuum brazing of SiO with Ag-Cu-In-Ti solder)_2f/ SiO₂Composite ceramic and niobium [ J ]]Welding bulletin, 2016, 37 (4): 47-51) adopts Ag- (15-26) Cu- (13-20) In- (3.1-6.9) Ti active solder, and SiO is realized under three parameters of 780 ℃/20min, 780 ℃/40min and 800 ℃/10min respectively_2f/SiO₂The microstructure of the joint is analyzed and the room-temperature shear strength of the joint is tested by connecting the composite material with niobium, wherein the average shear strength of the joint under the brazing parameter of 800 ℃/10min is the highest and reaches 21.6 MPa. However, due to the thermal expansion coefficient of graphite/Cu compared to SiO_2f/SiO₂The composite material has a much larger difference from the niobium expansion coefficient, and the method is not suitable for the graphite/copper connection method.

Zhongjiang, Chenbo, etc. (Ag-Cu-In-Ti solder brazing SiO)_2f/SiO₂Joint structure and mechanism of composite material and molybdenum alloy [ J]Welding dictionary, 2015, 36 (12): 73-76) 3 Ag-Cu-In-Ti solders (wherein the Cu content is 15-26% or 18-29%; in contentThe amount is 9-16% or 13-20%; ti content is 3.2-4.0 or 4.1-6.9%; all are mass percent), the SiO is realized under the process of 800 ℃/10min_2f/SiO₂The shear strength of the joint is tested at room temperature by connecting the composite material with the molybdenum alloy, and the microstructure and the interface products of the joint are analyzed by a scanning electron microscope, an electronic probe, an energy spectrometer and an X-ray diffractometer, and the result shows that the average shear strength of the obtained joint is 24.1MPa at most. The difference of thermal expansion coefficient of graphite/Cu is larger than that of SiO_2f/SiO₂The composite material has a much larger difference in expansion coefficient from molybdenum, and therefore cannot be applied to a graphite/copper connection method.

In conclusion, because the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of Cu and graphite is large, the process design difficulty is large, no suitable method for realizing graphite/copper brazing connection exists In China at present, and no report of adopting Ag-Cu-In-Ti solder to realize graphite/copper brazing connection exists.

And 7: after the brazing heat preservation is finished, when the brazing temperature is 680 ℃ to 620 ℃, the cooling rate is 2 ℃/min, and the heat preservation is carried out for 15 minutes at 620 ℃; cooling at the rate of 3 ℃/min from 620 ℃ to 500 ℃, and keeping the temperature at 500 ℃ for 15 minutes; cooling at a rate of 5 deg.C/min from 500 deg.C to 300 deg.C, and maintaining at 300 deg.C for 15 min. And after the heat preservation at 300 ℃, cooling to room temperature along with the furnace to obtain the graphite/copper brazing joint.

Example 3

In this example, a brazing jig made of Kovar 4J29 alloy was used, and the fitting clearance between the jig and the periphery of the copper base material was 0.05 mm. The Ag-32Cu-22In-2.6Ti brazing filler metal is adopted to braze the graphite/copper under the conditions that the brazing temperature is 700 ℃ and the brazing time is 15 minutes, the shearing strength of a brazed joint is 31MPa, and the fracture position of the joint is a graphite base metal.

Step 1: taking a copper base material and a graphite base material to be connected, and carrying out mechanical processing, pre-grinding, polishing, ultrasonic cleaning and drying on the surfaces to be connected of the two base materials.

Step 2: selecting Ag-Cu-In-Ti solder foil (Ag-32 Cu-22In-2.6 Ti) with the thickness of 50 mu m, and carrying out acid cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning and drying on the solder foil.

And step 3: and (3) putting the copper base material cleaned in the step (1) into a brazing clamp, sequentially putting a brazing foil piece and graphite, and ensuring that the brazing foil piece is arranged between the copper base material and the graphite to form a brazing joint prefabricated part.

And 4, step 4: putting the prefabricated member assembled in the step 3 into a vacuum furnace, and vacuumizing to 2 multiplied by 10^-2The heating was started as above.

And 5: in the process of from room temperature to 500 ℃, the heating rate is controlled to be 10-15 ℃/min; keeping the temperature for 15-45min when the furnace temperature reaches 500 ℃, removing oil stains, and enabling the furnace temperature to be uniform; in the process of reaching the brazing connection temperature from 500 ℃, the heating rate is controlled to be 5-10 ℃/min.

Step 6: when the temperature reaches the brazing connection temperature of 700 ℃, the temperature is kept for 15 minutes. In the step, the brazing filler metal is melted, and the brazing filler metal and the copper base metal are wetted to form a connecting interface; the active element Ti in the brazing filler metal reacts with C in the graphite to form a TiC reaction layer at the interface of the graphite and the brazing filler metal. The connection joint is formed by the wetting of the brazing filler metal and the copper base metal and the reaction of the brazing filler metal and the graphite.

And 7: after the brazing heat preservation is finished, when the brazing temperature is 700-620 ℃, the cooling rate is 3 ℃/min, and the heat preservation is carried out for 15 minutes at 620 ℃; cooling at the rate of 3 ℃/min from 620 ℃ to 500 ℃, and keeping the temperature at 500 ℃ for 15 minutes; from 500 ℃ to 300 ℃, the cooling rate is 4 ℃/min, and the temperature is kept at 300 ℃ for 15 minutes. And after the heat preservation at 300 ℃, cooling to room temperature along with the furnace to obtain the graphite/copper brazing joint.

Fig. 1(a) and 1(b) show an assembly form of a rectangular copper base material and a brazing jig, the outer periphery is the brazing jig, the middle rectangular region (1) is the copper base material, the peripheral rectangular region (2) is the brazing jig, the region (3) above the middle rectangular region is graphite, and the interface region (4) between copper and graphite is a brazing filler metal placing region.

FIGS. 2(a) -2 (b) are typical microstructures of graphite/copper braze joints, and it can be seen in FIG. 2(a) that the joints have about 50 μm braze regions and about 100 μm copper side diffusion layers. The brazing seam area is formed by melting Ag-Cu-In-Ti brazing filler metal and mutually diffusing the Ag-Cu-In-Ti brazing filler metal with graphite and Cu base metal. The copper-side diffusion layer is supposed to be formed by interdiffusion of elements such as Ag and Cu in the liquid brazing filler metal and elements such as Cu, Zr, and Cr in the solid Cu base material.

According to the principle of active brazing, Ti element in the brazing filler metal reacts with graphite (C element) to form an extremely thin TiC reaction layer. The elemental distribution at the graphite/braze interface was analyzed according to the line scan trace indicated by the white line in fig. 2(b), and the results are shown in fig. 2(C), and it was found that a sharp decrease in the C element content and an enrichment in the Ti element occurred in the range of about 2 μm at the interface, which could prove the existence of a TiC compound reaction layer of about 2 μm at the graphite/braze interface.

FIG. 3 is a graph of the shear fracture morphology of a graphite/copper brazed joint, where the joint fractures on the graphite side of the joint near the interface under the action of shear force, illustrating that the shear strength of the joint interface is higher than that of the graphite body.
