Effect of Nickel Plating on the Brazing of YG6X and GH4169 with Ag Based Solder
In response to the issue of weak flowability of AgCuNiMn filler metal on the surface of superalloys, in the YG6X/AgCuNiMn/GH4169 brazing system, the wetting morphology and final wetting angle of the brazing materials on the GH4169 surface with or without nickel coating were compared, and the effect of nickel plating on the wetting performance of the brazing materials on the GH4169 surface was analyzed; and with the help of SEM, the microstructure of the brazed joint with nickel coating was analyzed, and combined with the tensile performance test results of the joint, the influence of the nickel coating on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint was revealed. The study found that nickel plating on the surface of GH4169 can significantly improve the wetting and spreading performance of the solder on the alloy surface. After nickel plating, the minimum wetting angle of AgCuNiMn solder on the alloy surface can reach 4 °, and there is about 20 μm reaction zone at the interface between the solder and the superalloy. The presence of the reaction zone can improve the wettability of the solder and prevent the diffusion of elements such as Fe, Cr, and Nb from the base metal of the superalloy into the solder joint region, thereby reducing the tensile strength of the joint, with an average tensile strength of 631.6 MPa.
