Abstract
Fabrication of compact and complex design printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) using Alloy 800H is difficult by traditional welding methods due to the formation of hot cracking and brittle carbide phases, which significantly affect the joint properties. To overcome these issues, the diffusion bonding process was utilized to produce the Alloy 800H joints, with and without Ni-interlayer. Large Ti-rich precipitates were found in the diffusion-bonded interface of joints prepared without and 1 μm-thick Ni-interlayer. Increasing the Ni-interlayer thickness reduced the precipitates size, leading to significant improvements in tensile strength by 156 % at room temperature and 142 % at 650 °C compared to the as-diffusion bonded joint. After aging, the tensile strength of the DB joint increased by 19.85 % and 34.12 % compared to non-aged specimens due to the formation of gamma prime (γ′) phases and Cr-rich precipitates, despite a decrease in elongation. Nonetheless, the fracture occurred away from the bond line.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
