Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material joining technology, and relates to a special glass solder for reaction sintering silicon carbide welding, its preparation method, and a high-strength welded joint. Background Technology
[0002] Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (SiC), as an advanced ceramic material with excellent performance, is widely used due to its high hardness, high strength, excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability. However, the strong covalent bond characteristics of SiC make the fabrication of large or complex-shaped monolithic components exceptionally difficult and costly. Therefore, assembling simple-shaped SiC components into large, complex structures using reliable joining techniques has become a key technological approach to expanding its engineering applications. Currently, methods for joining SiC ceramics mainly include mechanical joining, adhesive bonding, and high-temperature welding. Among these, mechanical joining suffers from stress concentration and poor sealing; organic adhesives cannot meet the requirements of harsh operating conditions such as high temperatures and strong corrosion. Therefore, high-temperature welding, especially using glass solder, has attracted much attention due to its ability to form joints with good airtightness and high bonding strength.
[0003] However, existing glass solder joining technologies still face significant challenges. First, silicon carbide has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it difficult for traditional glass solders to precisely match its thermal expansion during cooling. The resulting enormous thermal stress easily leads to joint or substrate cracking, causing connection failure. Second, oxide glasses generally have poor wettability on non-oxide silicon carbide substrates, making it difficult to form a strong interfacial bond. Furthermore, welds formed with conventional glass solders are inherently brittle, lacking sufficient fracture toughness and becoming stress-sensitive during service, making reliability difficult to guarantee. While existing technologies have attempted to introduce microcrystalline phases or inert fillers to improve performance, their effectiveness in simultaneously achieving thermal expansion matching, strong interfacial bonding, and weld toughening is often limited. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a special glass solder for reaction-bonded silicon carbide welding, its preparation method, and a high-strength weld joint. The present invention combines four functional components—a low-melting-point glass matrix, active metallic silicon powder, boron-containing amorphous nano-silica powder, and BN-coated silicon hexaboride powder—through a stepwise masterbatch mixing process to obtain a multi-scale composite solder. The welding process involves sequentially performing staged adhesive removal, welding, and annealing heat treatment to meet the needs of actual production.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a special glass solder for reaction-bonded silicon carbide welding, the method comprising: S1, quartz powder, boric acid, alumina and anhydrous sodium carbonate are mixed and wet ball-milled, dried to obtain dry powder, and then the dry powder is heat-insulated to obtain sodium aluminum borosilicate glass powder.

Pour out the slurry after mixing and wet-milling, dry and grind to obtain composite solder powder. Mix and grind the composite solder powder, ethyl cellulose and terpineol, and degas to obtain a special glass solder for reaction sintering silicon carbide welding.
[0006] Specifically, it includes: S1, quartz powder, boric acid, alumina and anhydrous sodium carbonate are mixed and wet ball-milled, poured out, dried and ground to obtain dry powder, then the dry powder is heat-preserved, and after heat preservation, glass blocks are made by water quenching, ground and dried to obtain sodium aluminum borosilicate glass powder.

[0007] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a special glass solder for reaction-bonded silicon carbide welding prepared by the preparation method described in the first aspect.
[0008] Thirdly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a high-strength welded joint, the method comprising: The surface of the sample to be welded is uniformly coated with the special glass solder for reaction sintered silicon carbide welding described in the second aspect. Another sample to be welded is aligned with the welding surface and attached. The assembled assembly is placed in the fixture for positioning, and then the adhesive is removed in stages, welding and annealing heat treatment are performed in sequence to obtain a high-strength reaction sintered silicon carbide welded joint.
[0009] Fourthly, the present invention provides a high-strength welded joint prepared by the preparation method described in the third aspect.
[0010] In the preparation of sodium aluminum borosilicate glass powder, during the heating process, boric acid first undergoes a dehydration reaction, losing its water of crystallization and gradually transforming into boron trioxide. Simultaneously, anhydrous sodium carbonate undergoes a metathesis reaction with silica provided by quartz powder at high temperature, generating sodium silicate and releasing carbon dioxide gas. Sodium silicate further integrates into the glass network constructed by silica and boron trioxide during subsequent heating, with the sodium oxide component distributed in the melt as a network modifier. In the subsequent high-temperature melting stage, silica provided by quartz powder acts as the main network formant, reacting chemically with boron trioxide, alumina, and sodium oxide. Silica and boron trioxide together construct the amorphous network framework of the glass, while alumina enters the network as an intermediate. Sodium oxide acts as a network modifier; its sodium ions can break some silicon-oxygen or boron-oxygen bridges, forming non-bridged oxygen, a process that reduces the degree of polymerization of the glass network and the melting temperature of the system. Water quenching instantly freezes this disordered liquid structure at high temperature, forming a glassy solid.
[0011] For the preparation of boron-containing amorphous silica nanoparticles, in the presence of the alkaline catalyst ammonia, both tetraethyl silicate and triethyl borate precursors participate in the hydrolysis-condensation process. Since the hydrolysis rate of triethyl borate is higher than that of tetraethyl silicate, during the dropwise addition of solution A to solution B, the dropping rate is controlled to maintain a very low instantaneous concentration of triethyl borate in the system, thereby suppressing its tendency for excessively rapid hydrolysis and self-condensation. This allows the newly generated boric acid (or borol) groups to be sufficiently diluted and captured in the silanol group environment formed by the gradual hydrolysis of tetraethyl silicate, promoting the formation of Si-OB chemical bonds rather than the independent aggregation of BOB. In the subsequent sealed stirring stage, condensation reactions occur between the hydrolyzed silanol and borol groups, as well as between these hydroxyl groups and unhydrolyzed ethoxy groups, removing water or ethanol molecules to form silicon-oxygen-silicon, boron-oxygen-boron, and silicon-oxygen-boron chemical bonds. Continuous condensation reactions lead to the formation and growth of a silicon-boron inorganic polymer network, ultimately constituting boron-containing amorphous nanoparticles with boron atoms uniformly doped in the silica framework.
[0012] In the preparation of BN-coated silicon hexaboride powder, during the reflux heating process, the ammonia borane precursor is physically adsorbed and uniformly coated on the surface of the silicon hexaboride particles. In the subsequent high-temperature heat treatment under an inert atmosphere, the partially positively charged hydrogen atoms (usually hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen) on the ammonia borane molecules attract the partially negatively charged hydrogen atoms (usually hydrogen atoms bonded to boron) on the adjacent ammonia borane molecules. These two hydrogen atoms combine to form a hydrogen molecule and detach from the system. Simultaneously, a new chemical bond forms between the remaining portions of the two ammonia borane molecules, connecting the two molecules to form a dimer or a longer chain polymer, consisting of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms forming a chain-like, cyclic, or more complex three-dimensional network. During the formation of the polymer network, the original, relatively weak coordination bonds in the ammonia borane molecules gradually transform into more stable and stronger covalent σ bonds during pyrolysis. Because the pyrolysis process is carried out at a relatively low temperature, and the dehydrogenation process may not be complete, the final solid product is structurally disordered. Boron and nitrogen atoms do not have enough time and energy to arrange themselves into a hexagonal boron nitride lattice with a long-range ordered structure. Instead, they form an amorphous network with disordered atomic arrangement.
[0013] In the staged adhesive removal process, the organic carrier undergoes thermal decomposition and combustion under an oxidizing atmosphere. After the atmosphere is switched, the welding stage begins under a micro-oxygen nitrogen atmosphere. First, the low-melting-point component A glass matrix transforms into a liquid phase, wetting and filling the spaces between solid particles through capillary action. As the temperature continues to rise, the free silicon on the surface of component B active metallic silicon powder and the surface of the reaction-sintered silicon carbide substrate oxidizes under controlled micro-oxygen conditions, generating a highly chemically active silicon oxide or sub-silica thin layer in situ. This thin layer rapidly reacts with and integrates into the molten glass phase, forming a strong chemical bond interface between the solder and the substrate. Simultaneously, sodium ions in the molten glass act as a flux or catalyst, forming localized eutectic liquid phase points on the surface of the boron-containing amorphous nano-silica powder. These liquid phase points act as mediators for mass transport, dissolving, diffusing, and reprecipitating from the surrounding solid / glass phase. When supersaturation is reached, this facilitates the formation of elongated fibrous or nanowire-like silicon-rich phases locally. At this temperature, the amorphous boron nitride (BN) shell undergoes a controlled interfacial reaction with the glass liquid phase in a micro-oxygen nitrogen atmosphere: the surface layer of the BN shell is gradually oxidized to B2O3 by trace amounts of oxygen. The generated B2O3 rapidly integrates into the surrounding sodium aluminum borosilicate glass liquid phase, replenishing the boron component of the glass network. Due to the extremely low oxygen partial pressure in the micro-oxygen atmosphere, and the fact that the B2O3 glass layer generated by BN oxidation itself has a certain inhibitory effect on further inward diffusion of oxygen, this oxidation-dissolution process is gradual and self-limiting, and can continue to occur during the welding holding time without instantly depleting the BN coating. This controlled consumption mechanism of the BN coating, on the one hand, effectively releases residual interfacial stress by forming a gradient transition interfacial layer between the silicon hexaboride particles and the glass substrate through volume change; on the other hand, the BN coating provides chemical protection for the silicon hexaboride core before it is completely consumed, preventing direct corrosion reaction between the silicon hexaboride and the oxide glass melt. The silicon hexaboride core ultimately exists in the weld as a stable, low-expansion rigid framework. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is similar to that of the reaction-bonded silicon carbide matrix, which helps to suppress the overall shrinkage mismatch of the weld during cooling. In the final high-temperature homogenization stage, solid particles diffuse to form sintered necks, while the elemental distribution throughout the weld tends to be uniform. The final annealing and slow cooling process is a physical stress release process to ensure that the formed complex composite structure remains intact after cooling.

[0045] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides a special glass solder for reaction-bonded silicon carbide welding, its preparation method, and a high-strength welded joint. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mass of sodium aluminum borosilicate glass powder in component A of S4 is 0, while other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0046] Comparative Example 2 This comparative example provides a special glass solder for reaction-bonded silicon carbide welding, its preparation method, and a high-strength welded joint. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mass of boron-containing amorphous nano-silica powder in component A of S4 is 0, while other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0047] Comparative Example 3 This comparative example provides a special glass solder for reaction-bonded silicon carbide welding, its preparation method, and a high-strength welded joint. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mass of BN-coated silicon hexaboride powder in component B of S4 is 0, while other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0048] Comparative Example 4 This comparative example provides a special glass solder for reaction sintering silicon carbide welding and a high-strength welded joint and its preparation method. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that, when preparing the high-strength welded joint, the staged debinding, welding and annealing heat treatment are not performed. The temperature is increased to 1100℃ at 10℃ / min and held for 60 minutes. After the holding time is completed, the joint is cooled to room temperature with the furnace. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0049] The four-point bending strength (room temperature) test method is ASTM C1161; the four-point bending strength (800℃) test method is ASTM C1211; the joint shear strength test method is ASTM C1469; and the fracture toughness test method is ASTM C1421.
[0050] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0051] Table 1 Test results of welded joints in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 Example 1 280 230 78 3.0 Example 2 274 226 76 2.9 Example 3 283 220 79 3.1 Example 4 270 224 78 3.0 Comparative Example 1 214 177 56 2.1 Comparative Example 2 232 193 60 2.3 Comparative Example 3 195 164 52 1.9 Comparative Example 4 148 112 38 1.4 As shown in Table 1, compared with Example 1, the four-point bending strength (room temperature), four-point bending strength (800°C), joint shear strength, and fracture toughness of Comparative Example 1 decreased; the four-point bending strength (room temperature), four-point bending strength (800°C), joint shear strength, and fracture toughness of Comparative Example 2 decreased; the four-point bending strength (room temperature), four-point bending strength (800°C), joint shear strength, and fracture toughness of Comparative Example 3 decreased; and the four-point bending strength (room temperature), four-point bending strength (800°C), joint shear strength, and fracture toughness of Comparative Example 4 decreased.
[0052] This is because the mass of sodium aluminum borosilicate glass powder in component A of Comparative Example 1 is 0, which weakens local liquid phase wetting and adhesion, making it easier to form residual porosity, thus reducing four-point bending, shear strength, and fracture toughness. In Comparative Example 2, the mass of boron-containing amorphous nano-silica powder in component A is 0, lacking a high specific surface area and easily nucleating boron-doped silicon-oxygen framework, making it difficult to form fine and uniform nano-bridging structures in the transition layer, thus reducing structural strength. In Comparative Example 3, the mass of BN-coated silicon hexaboride powder in component B is 0, resulting in a lack of low-expansion, high-stiffness connections within the weld, weakening the thermal expansion coefficient gradient between the glass phase and the substrate, significantly increasing residual tensile stress during thermal cycling and high-temperature stages, and easily generating microcracks near the interface. In Comparative Example 4, without staged glue removal, welding, and annealing heat treatment, the organic carrier decomposes and releases a large amount of gas before the glass softens. The gas is difficult to expel in time, forming closed pores and carbon residue. At the same time, rapid heating and no annealing cooling cause huge thermal stress, and through cracks are prone to appear at the interface. Therefore, the four-point bending, shear strength, and fracture toughness decrease.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.

Then, the furnace is adjusted to a micro-oxygen nitrogen atmosphere containing nitrogen and 1000-1500ppm oxygen. The welding process is as follows: This step is immediately followed by the staged glue removal step. The temperature is increased to 850-860℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, and held for 30-40 minutes. Then, the temperature is increased to 1050-1060℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, and held for 60-70 minutes. Finally, the temperature is increased to 1100-1120℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, and held for 15-20 minutes. The annealing heat treatment is as follows: This step is immediately after the welding step. The temperature is cooled to 650-700℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min, held for 30-60min, and then cooled to below 400℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min. The temperature is then allowed to cool naturally to room temperature in the furnace.
