- Abstract
Paste-type brazing materials have advantages such as adjusting the complexity of the parts to be soldered, easy storage and production in certain quantities. They can be used for brazing heat exchangers, liquid tanks and corrosion resistant parts. In this work, the microstructures and thermal behaviors of Al–Si–Cu–Ni brazing materials with different contents were investigated, and the effect of brazing process on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of brazed joints produced under nitrogen-filled environment was examined. It was found that the melting temperature of brazing material Al–5Si–20.5Cu–2Ni were ranged from 512.86 to 549.37 °C. The microstructure of Al–5Si–20.5Cu–2Ni consisted of α-Al solid solution, CuAl2 intermetallic compounds, the Al–Si–Cu phase, and some fine irregular Si particles in a homogenous manner. The microstructure of the brazed joints was uniformly formed during the brazing condition of 580 °C for 20 min, and the shear strength of the joints reached 41.76 MPa.
