Abstract

A transmission and scanning electron microscope investigation is undertaken to study microstructural development during transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of NiA1 to Ni-base substrates. The bonds were produced through a conventional technique employing a Cu foil interlayer or a widegap technique using a composite preform containing powders of NiAl and Cu. The time required for completion of isothermal solidification was greatly reduced in wide-gap bonds as compared to conventional bonds. Microstructural features of conventional TLP bonds of polycrystalline-NiAl/Ni were controlled by the ratio of Al: Cu across the joint. The precipitation of the a phase encountered in polycrystalline- NiAl/Martin Marietta 247 superalloy (MM247) bonds was suppressed in wide-gap bonds of single crystal-NiAl(Hf) and MM247. In general, the extent of second phase precipitation, in the asbonded condition, was greatly reduced by the use of the wide-gap technique. However, extensive precipitation of HfC and W-rich phases was observed after post-bond heat treatments.
