Abstract
In this work, the ultra-high performance 93WNiFe alloy/30CrMnSiA steel hot isostatic pressing diffusion bonding joint was prepared successfully by utilizing NiFeWss interlayer. The microstructures and properties of joints were researched by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and tensile testing. Residual thermal stresses of joints were researched by using Finite element (FE) simulation, the interface element diffusion and phase precipitation kinetics were studied based on Fick’s second law and Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) theory. The results indicate that, the microstructure of joint is 93WNiFe alloy/(NiFeWSS matrix + W precipitated phases) composite diffusion layer/steel, without the brittle intermetallic compounds. With bonding temperature increases from 900 °C to 1050 °C, the volume fraction of W precipitated phase in diffusion layer increases from 6.38 % to 21.54 %, and the average dimension increases from 0.86 μm to 4.33 μm. The increasing volume fraction of W precipitated phases assist in reducing the maximum tensile stress in the joint, while the increase in average size plays an opposite role. As a result, the tensile strength of joint increases firstly and then decreases with the increasing bonding temperature. Ultra-high tensile strength of 412 MPa and elongation rate of 9.4 % were achieved at a bonding temperature of 950 °C. The formation of composite diffusion layer can be attributed to element diffusion between NiFeWSS interlayer and steel substrate, the diffusion rates for element Fe from steel substrate into NiFeWss interlayer and element Ni from NiFeWss interlayer into steel substrate are DFe = 3.58 × 10-6exp(−2.72 × 105/RT)m2/s and DNi = 7.65 × 10-6exp(−2.94 × 105/RT)m2/s, the precipitation of W phase in diffusion layer with bonding temperatures of 900 °C, 950 °C, 1000 °C and 1050 °C follows f = 1-exp(−4.23 × 10-4t0.58624), f = 1-exp(−7.42 × 10-5t0.85804), f = 1-exp(−1.83 × 10-4t0.77961), and f = 1-exp(−4.87 × 10-5t0.98385).
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
