Ghm. Gubbels et al., A COMPARISON BETWEEN TITANIUM ALUMINA DIFFUSION BONDING AND TITANIUM ACTIVE BRAZING, Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde, 85(12), 1994, pp. 828-832
The product layer sequence in the reaction of solid Ti with alumina an
d in the reaction of Ti dissolved in liquid Ag with alumina are compar
ed. The phase diagram and the diffusion path in the Ti-Al-O system are
used to describe the interface formation during brazing of alumina wi
th liquid Ag-4 wt.% Ti filler material. During brazing, first Ti-Al(O)
intermetallics are formed. When the filler material is depleted from
Ti, the formed Ti-Al(O) intermetallics decompose in oxygen saturated T
i(O) and Al, which in turn diffuses through the Ti(O) and dissolves in
the Ag.
