The mechanisms of the microstructural evolution of the TaZrNb/TA15 interface were investigated via SEM, EBSD, EDS, and XRD.Interface mechanical property tests and in-situ tensile tests were conducted on the sphere-containing structure, and an equivalent tensile-strength model was established for the structure. The results revealed that the TA15 titanium alloy and joint had high density and no pores or cracks. The thickness of the planar joint was approximately 50-60 μm. The average tensile and shear strengths were 767 MPa and 608 MPa, respectively. The thickness of the spherical joint was approximately 60 μm. The Zr and Nb elements in the joint diffused uniformly and formed strong bonds with Ti without forming intermetallic compounds. The interface exhibited submicron grain refinement and a concave-convex interlocking structure. The tensile fracture surface primarily exhibited intergranular fracture combined with some transgranular fracture, which constituted a quasi-brittle fracture mode. The shear fracture surface exhibited brittle fracture with regular arrangements of furrows. Internal fracture occurred along the spherical interface, as revealed by advanced in-situ X-ray microcomputed tomography. The experimental results agreed well with the theoretical predictions, indicating that the high-strength interface contributes to the overall strength and toughness of the sphere-containing structure.展开更多

The quantitative model of atomic diffusion, which is related to the ultrasonic bonding parameters, time and distance, is established to calculate the atomic diffusion of the Al-Au interface. The maximum relative error between the calculated and experimental fraction of Al atom is 7.35%, indicating high prediction accuracy of this model. During the process of ultrasonic bonding, Au8Al3 is the main intermetallic compound (IMC) at the Al-Au interface. With larger bonding forces, higher ultrasonic powers and longer bonding time, it is more difficult to remove the oxide particles from the Al-Au interface, which hinders the atomic diffusion. Therefore, the complicated stress state and the existence of oxide particles both promotes the formation of holes. The shear strength of Al-Au ultrasonic bonding increases with increasing bonding force, ultrasonic power and bonding time. However, combined with the presence of holes at especial parameters, the optimal ultrasonic bonding parameter is confirmed to be a bonding force of 23 gf, ultrasonic power of 75 mW and bonding time of 21 ms.展开更多
