Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a brazing method for Y2O3-MgO ceramics to metals. Background Technology

[0002] Infrared windows are crucial navigation components for aircraft, and the increasing speed of aircraft places higher demands on their high-temperature resistance and shock resistance. However, traditional infrared-transparent materials often suffer from strong spontaneous emission and significant loss of mechanical properties at high temperatures. Y₂O₃-MgO multiphase ceramics, with their excellent high-temperature infrared transmittance, mechanical strength, and thermal shock resistance, have high-temperature application potential and are expected to be widely used in ultra-high-speed aircraft such as UAVs in the future. However, in practical applications, it is often necessary to connect the infrared window with a metal to form a heterogeneous structure, thereby fully utilizing the advantages of both ceramics and metals. Since the connection between the infrared window and the metal shell of a UAV is susceptible to significant aerodynamic and aerothermal effects during high-speed flight, higher requirements are placed on the reliability of the joint between the Y₂O₃-MgO multiphase ceramic and the metal.

[0003] Currently, there are few reports on methods for joining Y2O3-MgO ceramics to metals. Due to the considerable brittleness of Y2O3-MgO ceramics, it is difficult to machine complete mechanical holes, making bolt connections unsuitable. Adhesive joints generally have an operating temperature not exceeding 200℃, making them unsuitable for the high-speed requirements of aircraft. Among various welding methods, fusion welding struggles to overcome the high melting point of Y2O3-MgO ceramics and the significant difference in melting point between them and metals. Pressure welding is ill-suited for the curved and thin-walled structures of infrared windows. In comparison, brazing is the most suitable method for joining Y2O3-MgO ceramic infrared windows.

[0004] However, metal oxide ceramics are mainly composed of covalent and ionic bonds, exhibiting very stable electronic coordination and chemical stability. Among many metal oxides such as SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, ZrO2, and Y2O3, Y2O3 exhibits the highest thermodynamic stability. Therefore, Y2O3-MgO nanocomposite ceramics, with Y2O3 and MgO as the main components, are difficult to react with traditional metal brazing fillers and form good wetting, thus affecting brazing quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problem of the difficulty in achieving metallurgical reaction and wetting between Y2O3-MgO nanocomposite ceramics and metal brazing fillers, this invention proposes an indirect brazing method for surface-pre-metallized Y2O3-MgO ceramics and metals.

[0006] The indirect brazing method for surface-pre-metallized Y2O3-MgO ceramics to metals according to the present invention is carried out according to the following steps:

[0007] I. Pre-welding treatment of Y2O3-MgO ceramics:

[0008] The Y2O3-MgO ceramic surface to be welded was successively ground and ultrasonically cleaned.

[0009] II. Pre-welding treatment of metals:

[0010] The metal surfaces to be welded are sequentially ground and ultrasonically cleaned.

[0011] III. Preparation of Cladding Material:

[0012] Weigh Ag powder, CuO powder and Al2O3 powder, mix them and then ball mill them to obtain Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding material;

[0013] The molar concentration of CuO in the Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding material is 2-40%, and the molar concentration of Al2O3 is 4-16%.

[0014] IV. Preparation of Y2O3-MgO ceramic cladding layer:

[0015] The Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding material obtained in step 3 is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to obtain Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding slurry, which is then uniformly coated on the surface of Y2O3-MgO ceramic to be welded and transferred to a muffle furnace for sintering to obtain an Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding layer on the surface of Y2O3-MgO ceramic to be welded.

[0016] The mass fraction of Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding material in the Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding slurry is 10-50%;

[0017] The sintering process is as follows: heating to 1000-1100℃ at a heating rate not exceeding 5℃ / min, holding at that temperature for 10-30min, and cooling to room temperature at a cooling rate not exceeding 5℃ / min; both heating and cooling rates not exceeding 5℃ / min can avoid excessive heating and cooling, which would cause excessive residual stress in the Y2O3-MgO ceramic, affecting the performance of the joint, or even causing the ceramic to crack.

[0018] V. Pre-soldering treatment of silver-based brazing foil:

[0019] The silver-based solder foil is cut to the predetermined size, then the two surfaces of the silver-based solder foil are polished, and finally ultrasonic cleaning is performed.

[0020] VI. Assembly of welding test pieces:

[0021] A silver-based brazing foil is placed between the Y2O3-MgO ceramic cladding layer and the metal surface to be soldered, and then fixed with a clamp to obtain an assembly.

[0022] VII. Vacuum Brazing: Place the assembly into a vacuum brazing furnace and perform vacuum brazing to complete the indirect brazing of the surface pre-metallized Y2O3-MgO ceramic with the metal.

[0023] The vacuum brazing process is as follows: the vacuum degree in the vacuum brazing furnace does not exceed 8×10⁻⁶. -3 Pa, heating rate not exceeding 15℃ / min, brazing temperature 840℃~900℃, holding time 10min~40min, after holding, cooling to room temperature, cooling rate not exceeding 10℃ / min.

[0024] The principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0025] This invention achieves pre-metallization by preparing an Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding layer on the surface of Y2O3-MgO ceramic to be soldered, thereby avoiding the problem of poor metallurgical reaction between traditional metal solders and Y2O3-MgO ceramics, which leads to poor weld joint quality. This invention utilizes CuO and Al2O3 in the Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding layer as active components to react with Y2O3 and MgO respectively to generate a metallization reaction layer. The composition of this metallization reaction layer is Y2Cu2O5 and MgO. 0.8 Cu 0.2 O and Y4Al2O9 achieve a good metallurgical bond with the ceramic interface, thereby realizing an Ag-dominant metallization process on the Y2O3-MgO ceramic surface. During vacuum brazing, the filler metal not only achieves a good bond with the Ag-CuO-Al2O3 cladding layer, but also forms a reliable connection with the metal on the other side, resulting in a well-metallurgically bonded, defect-free brazed joint. The joint obtained by indirect brazing of Y2O3-MgO ceramic and metal in this invention achieves a room temperature shear strength of 67 MPa. Attached Figure Description
