A Study on the joining of $Al_2O_3$ to STS 304 with using Cu-7.5wt% Zr Insert metal

Cu-7.5wt% Zr 삽입 금속을 이용한 $Al_2O_3$-STS 304 접합체 계면 조직에 관한 연구

Recently there is an increased interest in joining of ceramics to metals and brazing now an accepted method of joining for a wide variety of ceramic to metal combination. The present research work is aimed at establishing the basis of the metal-ceramic joining of $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ to STS 304 with using Cu-7.5wt% Zr insert metals. Also the microstructures of the brazed joints were observed by using optical microscope and SEM and the reaction products were analyzed by using EDX, WDX and XRD. As a result, the following findings were obtained. The reaction layers of the brazed joints of $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ to STS 304 are composed of four layers at the bonded interlayer. Double reaction layers are formed at the interface of $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ insert metal. Layer I was composed of ZrO$_{2}$ particles, Fe-Cr-Ni compounds in Cu matrix, while layer II ZrO$_{2}$ band phase containing Fe-Cr-Ni compounds.
