Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of bonding two substrates of γ-titanium aluminide alloy at a faying surface, comprising the steps of applying a braze material of a titanium alloy consisting of from 10 to 35 at.% aluminum, from 5 to 30 at.% iron and/or nickel, and optionally other alloying elements present in the substrate material in quantities (at.%) up to their content in the substrate material, the remainder being titanium, at the faying surface of the substrates, and subjecting the substrates and braze material to an elevated temperature above the melting point of the braze material and below γ-solvus temperature of the γ-titanium aluminide alloy thereby joining the substrates by transient liquid phase bonding. Additionally the present invention relates to a method of bonding two substrates of γ-titanium aluminide alloy having a β-single phase region at elevated temperatures at a faying surface, comprising the steps of applying a braze material of a titanium alloy consisting of from 0 to 35 at.% aluminum, from 5 to 30 at.% iron and/or nickel, and optionally other alloying elements present in the substrate material in quantities (at.%) up to their content in the substrate material, the remainder being titanium, at the faying surface of the substrates, and subjecting the substrates and braze material to an elevated temperature in the β-single phase region of the substrate thereby joining the substrates by transient liquid phase bonding. The braze alloy is preferably present in form of a foil or a powder. If present as a powder, the braze alloy is preferably present in admixture with an organic welding flux.

Abstract:
A metallic particle paste (10) includes a polar solvent (4) and particles (10) dispersed in the polar solvent and containing a first metal. A second metal different from the first metal is dissolved in the polar solvent. The second metal is present in solvent (10) of the metallic particle paste (10) in the form of a complex ion, an organometallic ion or an ion of a metal salt. The paste (10) may be used for forming wiring and a heat-radiation portion of an electronic substrate or for bonding members (5, 7) in a semiconductor device through a bonding layer (6).
Abstract:
A braze foil (10) formed of a plurality of layers (12, 14, 16) of differing compositions wherein a combined melt of the foil has a desired braze composition, and wherein each layer is sufficiently ductile to be rolled into foil form, even though the desired braze composition is too strong or brittle to be fabricated as a foil Each interface (18,20) between layers may establish a near eutectic composition for initiating melting at the eutectic temperature, with the layer thicknesses selected so that as melting progresses away from the interfaces, the near eutectic composition is maintained within the melt puddles For certain nickel-based superalloy brazing applications, a foil having a layer of pure titanium, hafnium or zirconium may be sandwiched between respective alloy layers of 5-22% chrome-balance nickel
Abstract:
A metal cladding process utilizing a feed material (66) formed as a hollow sheath (68) containing a powdered core (70) including powdered metal and powdered flux material. The powdered metal and flux may have overlapping mesh size ranges. The sheath may be an extrudable subset of elements of a desired superalloy cladding material, with the powdered metal and powdered flux materials complementing the sheath to form the desired superalloy material when melted. The powdered metal may include an excess of titanium to compensate for a reaction of titanium with oxygen or carbon dioxide in a shielding gas. Heat for melting may be provided by an energy beam (64) or by utilizing the feed material as an electrode in a cold metal arc welding torch (54).
