Abstract

Diffusion welding is one of the exclusive welding methods that provides a perfect material interface after joining of different materials and results in high mechanical properties at high temperatures. In particular, this technique can be used for joining porcelain and metal that have distinctly different features. In this study, diffusion welding of copper to porcelain has been investigated. After the diffusion welding with different parameters, shear tests have been applied to the samples in order to investigate the weld properties and the changes in hardness in the weld region. In order to elucidate the changes in microstructure and composition in the weld region, SEM, EDX and XRD analyses were performed on the samples. As a result, the joining of copper and porcelain materials can successfully be performed by diffusion welding. Samples have the highest weld strength, if they are joined by diffusion welding at 900 °C for 60 min and at 4.5 MPa.

Kurzfassung

Das Diffusionsschweißen stellt ein exklusives Schweißverfahren dar, mit dem eine perfekte Grenzfläche nach dem Verbinden unterschiedlicher Materialien hergestellt werden kann und wodurch hohe mechanische Eigenschaften bei hohen Temperaturen möglich sind. Diese Technik kann insbesondere für das Verbinden von Porzellan und Metall eingesetzt werden, die sehr unterschiedliche Merkmale aufweisen. In der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie wurde das Diffusionsschweißen von Kupfer und Porzellan untersucht. Nach dem Diffusionsschweißen mit unterschiedlichen Parametern wurden Scherversuche durchgeführt, um die Eigenschaften der Schweißverbindungen zu untersuchen, und Härteänderungen in der Schweißverbindung gemessen. Um die Änderungen in der Mikrostruktur und Zusammensetzung in der geschweißten Zone genau festzustellen, wurden REM-, EDX- und XRD-Analysen der Proben durchgeführt. Als ein Ergebnis lässt sich festhalten, dass das Verbinden von Kupfer und Porzellan Materialien erfolgreich mittels Diffusionsschweißen möglich ist. Es zeigte sich, dass die Proben die höchste Festigkeit in der Schweißverbindung aufweisen, wenn sie bei 900 °C über 60 min bei 4,5 bar geschweißt werden.
