In combustion chamber of liquid propellant launch vehicle, the inner shell of the chamber is copper alloy with cooling channels for regenerative cooling and outer shell is steel to maintain high pressure inside the chamber. The purpose of this study is to find the optimum condition for diffusion bonding of copper and steel and the experimental conditions were 3 different pressures at temperatures from 800 8C to 950 8C. In order to characterize the flow strength of materials at high temperatures, several tensile tests were performed at several temperatures from 800 8C to 950 8C. This information is used to estimate the test condition for diffusion bonding and superplastic forming. Mechanical properties of bonded specimen were evaluated with single lap joint tests and shear tests. Microstructure of bonded layer has been also observed with SEM with EDX. It is shown that the optimum condition of diffusion bonding is 7 MPa at 890 8C, for one hour. Pressurization test of bonded specimen with cooling channels was performed with hydraulic pressure of 87 MPa without failure.
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.
