Abstract
Glass solder with adjustable thermal expansion coefficient exhibits unique advantages in dissimilar material joining, yet its inherent brittleness remains a critical constraint hindering broader application potential. To solve this problem, micron-sized Al particles were added to glass to address the negative impact caused by the inherent brittleness of glass solder. In this study, the Bi2O3-B2O3-SiO2-ZnO-Al2O3 + Al particles composite solder was utilized to join 99Al2O3 ceramic and Al alloy 1060. Prior to the joining process, the surface morphology and thermophysical properties of the composite glass solder were investigated. Subsequently, the microstructure of the Al2O3/Al joints was analyzed in detail and mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated under different Al particle content. A peak value of 51.49 MPa was achieved at an Al particle content of 4 wt%, marking a 71.21 % increase compared to joints without Al particles. The precipitated phases in the glass solder are refined and their population is increased with elevated Al particle content, whereby the toughness of the bonding seam is enhanced, leading to improved mechanical properties of the joints. However, an excessive Al particle content results in increased porosity of the solder and deteriorated wettability, compromising the formation of joints and severely degrading the mechanical performance.
