Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate brazing characteristics of the braze joint between superhard alloy particles and carbon steel. Two types of insert metals that made by mechanical alloying process were selected for this study. One is composed of Cu, Zn and Ag(MIM-1) and the other one is composed of Cu, Zn, Ag and Cd.(MIM-2) The chemical compositions of these insert metals were similar to AWS BAg-20 and BAg-2a system. And the commercial insert metals(CIM-1, CIM-2) were also evaluated for the comparative study. The characterization of the insert metals were conducted by wettability tests, shear tensile test and microstructural analyses. The results indicated that wettability tests displayed that MIM-1 and CIM-1 insert metals had the larger wetting angle than MIM-2 and CIM-2 and the wetting angle of the MIM-1 showed higher value than that of CIM-1. However these values are less than $25^{\circ}$ that is recommended for standard value for usual insert metals. The highest value of shear tensile tests was obtained from the brazed joint that made by MIN-1 and the value was $2.29{\times}10^2MPa$. This value is appeared to be higher or same as the commercial insert metals. The microstructures of the inserts metals were composed of Cu-rich proeutectic structure for matrix and Ag-rich eutectic structure. The braze joint between superhard alloy particles and carbon steel produced by the MIM-1(Ag-Cu-Zn) system showed sound joint showing stable microstructures. However there was also some porosities at the interface.
초경합금입자와 탄소강사이의 브레이징 접합부 특성을 평가하였다 선택된 두 종류의 삽입금속은 기계적 합금 공정으로 만들어졌다. 한 가지는 Cu, Zn, Ag (MIM-1) 그리고 다른 한 가지는 Cu, Zn, Ag과 Cd(MIM-2)로 구성하였다. 삽입금속들의 화학조성은 AWS BAg-20계와 BAg-2a계의 성분과 유사하였다. 그리고 상용삽입금속들(CIM-1, CIM-2) 역시 비교 평가하였다. 삽입금속들의 특성은 젖음성 시험, 전단강도 시험, 그리고 미세조직 관찰로서 나타내었다. 젖음성 시험에서 MIM-1과 CIM-1 삽입금속의 젖음각이 MIM-2와 CIM-2보다 크게 나타났고, MIM-1의 젖음각이 CIM-1보다 더 큰 값을 나타났지만 모든 경우 젖음각이 $25^{\circ}$보다 작았다. 삽입금속, MIM-1이 가장 높은 전단강도를 나타냈고, 그 값은 $2.29{\times}10^2MPa$로 측정되었다. 이 값은 상용 삽입금속의 값과 같거나 높은 것으로 나타났다. 삽입금속의 미세조직은 Cu-rich 초정영역과 Ag-rich 공정영역으로 구성되었다. MIM-1계로 만들어진 초경합금과 탄소강의 접합부는 일부 접합부 계면에 기공을 포함하지만 초정을 기지로 하는 안정적인 미세조직을 나타냈다.
