Problems solved by technology

The difference in thermal expansion coefficient of graphite / Cu compared with SiO 2f / SiO 2 Composite materials have much different expansion coefficients from molybdenum and therefore cannot be used in graphite / copper joining methods
[0010] In summary, due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between Cu and graphite and the difficulty in process design, there is still no suitable method to achieve graphite / copper brazing connection in China, and no Ag-Cu-In-Ti brazing is used. A report on realizing graphite / copper brazing connection

Abstract

The invention provides an active brazing method for improving the performance of joints of graphite / copper dissimilar materials. The method optimizes the three aspects of solder composition design, brazing process design and brazing fixture design and manufacture, and provides novel Graphite / copper brazing process scheme. Firstly, the present invention adopts low-melting-point Ag-Cu-In-Ti active solder, which reduces the brazing temperature and thermal stress on the premise of realizing the reactive connection between solder and graphite. Secondly, the present invention designs a controlled step cooling process for graphite / copper joints after brazing, controls the cooling rate of the joints, and further reduces the residual stress of the joints. Finally, the brazing fixture designed in the present invention limits the thermal expansion of the copper base material during brazing, further reducing the residual stress of the graphite / copper joint. The technology in the invention can realize better brazing connection of graphite / copper, the joint has no connection defects such as cracks and pores, and the joint shear strength can reach more than 30MPa.
