Abstract

The microstructural aspects of active brazing of AIN with a Ag-Cu-Ti alloy have been investigated. A series of reaction product layers are formed. TiN is produced in contact with the polycrystalline, bulk AIN. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and microdiffraction demonstrate that some of the TiN grains at the interface display specific orientation relationships with respect to the adjoining AIN crystallites. As has sometimes been observed in studies of epitaxy in other systems, these relationships are not necessarily those that provide the minimum geometrical mismatch between one or more sets of lattice planes. Farther from the substrate, an fl-type nitride phase with composition (Ti,Cu,Al)6N occurs as a reaction product. High-resolution images confirm the absence of amorphous or crystalline intervening phases at the TiN-ŋ interface and at ŋ grain boundaries.
