Microstructural investigation of in situ TiB whiskers array reinforced ZrB 2-SiC joint

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The ZrB 2-20 vol.% SiC composites (ZS) were joined to themselves using an Ag-Cu/Ti filler alloy. A novel TiB whiskers (TiBw) array with high preferred orientation was in situ synthesized at the interface of ZS. Investigation showed that the produced AgCu 4Zr together with sufficient Ti promoted dissolution of ZrB 2, and subsequently led to the formation of TiBw array. The mechanical properties of ZS/ZS joint were improved by interfacial TiBw accommodation. The maximum shear strength of 146 MPa was obtained with the filler alloy containing 15 wt.% Ti.
