Abstract

Ceramic/metal connectors are widely used in aerospace, microelectronics, precision instruments, fuel cells and other fields. Ceramics' poor machinability, low ductility and impact toughness, high brittleness, and other defects severely limit their application in the wear-resistant materials industry. Due to the large difference between the coefficient of thermal expansion of ceramics and metal, the residual thermal stresses generated during the connection process will destroy the integrity of the joint, thus increasing the difficulty of connecting ceramics and metal. The composite brazing method can effectively eliminate the residual thermal stress, which is one of the ideal methods to solve the problem of ceramic-metal connection. Composite brazing will be able to regulate the thermophysical properties of the material, thus greatly reducing the damage of residual thermal stresses on the joint, and then improve the strength of the ceramic/metal joint, the method not only increases the wettability of the brazing material on the ceramic side, which is irreplaceable in improving the bonding of the joint, but also eliminates the residual thermal stresses and ensures the integrity of the joint. This paper summarizes the current research status of ceramic/steel composite brazed joints in recent years, and investigates the mechanical properties and microinterfacial structure composition of the joints.
