Abstract
This study investigated the effects of bonding temperature and bonding atmosphere on high temperature mechanical properties of transient liquid phase(TLP) bonded joints of heat resistant alloy using MBF-50 insert metal. Specimens were bonded at 1,423~1,468K for 600s. Microconstituents of {TEX}$Cr_{7}(C,B)_{3}${/TEX}were formed in the bonded region when the bonding temperature was low. The amount of microcostituents in the bonded layer decreased with increasing the bonding temperature, and the microconstituents in the bonded layer disappeared at the bonding temperature above 1,468K. The tensile strength of the joints at elevated temperatures increased with the increase the bonding temperature and was the same level as one of the base metal in the bonding temperature over 1,453K. Microstructure and alloying element distributions of the bonded region bonded in Ar and $N_2$atmosphere were similar to those of the bonded in vacuum. The creep rupture strength and rupture lives of joints were almost identical to those of base metal.
