Understanding the effect of holding time on interfacial microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of Ti3AlC2/Zr-4 brazed joints by Bo Yang, Chun Li, Xiaoqing Si, Mingshen Li, Hao Yuan, Hao Jiang, Runjie Wang, Junlei Qi, Jian Cao

“…Ti3AlC2 was decomposed into TiCx due to the de-intercalation of Al, and Zr-4 dissolved into the molten amorphous TiZrCuNi fillers to form a Zr-based alloy which reacted with TiCx to form a ZrC particle layer on the Ti3AlC2 side. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the brazed joint were significantly influenced by dwell time, and the underlying evolution mechanisms were addressed based on the considerations of mutual dissolution, diffusion, and reaction among Ti3AlC2, Zr-4, and molten amorphous alloys. …”
