Joint Strength with Soldering of Al2O3 Ceramics After Ni-P Chemical Plating

Ni-P alloy was chemically plated on Al2O3 ceramics to produce uniform alloy coatings at temperatures below 70~C. Cu metal was electroplated onto the Ni-P coating to facilitate the soldering and shorten the chemical plating time. Then, the electroplated ceramic specimens were soldered with 60 wt.% Sn-40 wt.% Pb solder in active colophony. The highest shear strength was acquired after the heat treatment at 170℃ for 15 min. The joint fractures mostly propagated along the interface between the ceramics and the Ni-P coating, with some fracture in both the ceramics and the Ni-P coating near the interface and some along the interface between the Cu and Ni-P coatings. The results show that ceramic surface roughness and the chemical plating parameters influence the coating quality, and that suitable heat treatment before the soldering also improves the adhesion between the ceramics and Ni-P coatings, thus strengthening the joints.     

原位生成法半固态连接Si3N4复相陶瓷的接头组织

为探索陶瓷材料的有效连接途径,提出一种原位生成增强颗粒的半固态钎焊陶瓷材料方法。采用自制钎料对Si3N4复相陶瓷进行钎焊试验。采取分步焊接的方法,在1023K下使钎缝内生成一定数量的AlCu2Ti金属间化合物,然后在1173K下对陶瓷材料进行半固态连接。显微观察表明:钎缝组织由低熔点的钎料基体和高熔点的金属间化合物组成,金属间化合物均匀分布在钎料基体中,有利于改善接头性能,降低接头的热膨胀不均匀性。
