An in situ short fiber reinforced brazing technique by taking advantage of reaction between ZrB2 and Ti has been developed for joining ZrB2–SiC ceramic and Ti6Al4V alloy. The Ag–Cu eutectic alloy was used as brazing interlayer to realize controllable growth of TiB in Ti‐rich environment. The microstructural evolution of the joint was divided into four stages as experiments performed from 840°C to 920°C. The diffusion behaviors of Ti and B may play an important role on the preferential growth of TiB whiskers during brazing. The statistics of the length of TiB showed that a rapid growth appeared at 880°C. The accommodation to the coefficients of thermal expansion by TiB whiskers was evaluated and the shear strength of the joints was tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
