Solid-state diffusion bonding of tungsten-25 rhenium alloy

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

Nickel has successfully been used as an interleaf material to join W-25Re between 900 and 1400° C. The bond strength was found to depend on the temperature and stress at which the bonding process was conducted. It was also found that nickel reacts with the parent metal and forms a Ni-W-Re ternary alloy. The formation of the alloy causes significant embrittlement in the parent material. The alloy first nucleates at the grain boundary and then grows into the grain. Quantitative studies of the growth kinetics of the ternary alloy and its effect on the bond strength are discussed. Joining of W-25Re by self-diffusion bonding has also been successfully demonstrated at temperatures above 1500° C. The effect of surface conditions will be correlated with the quality of the joint. © 1986 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
