Effect of Cu interlayer with different thickness on microstructure and properties of Al2O3/Kovar joints brazed with Cu–Ti/Cu/BNi-2 composite filler
In this study, a Cu–Ti/Cu/BNi-2 composite filler was employed to braze Al 2 O 3 ceramics and Kovar alloy, aiming to prevent excessive reaction between active Ti and Kovar alloy. The investigation focused on the effects of varying Cu interlayer thickness on microstructure and mechanical properties. T...

Notably, when the thickness of the Cu layer was 100 μm, the joint strength significantly increased to 128 ± 7 MPa, which represented a remarkable 50.5% improvement compared to the Cu–Ti filler. This enhancement in joint strength can be attributed to the addition of Cu/BNi-2, effectively preventing direct contact between Ti and Kovar alloy, thereby inhibiting their reaction and reducing the formation of brittle Fe-Ti phases within the joint. At the same time, Cu foil also contributed to alleviating the residual stress of the joint. However, as the Cu foil thickness increased, the fracture of the Cu
