In this study, Fe3Al intermetallic and Q235 steel were jointed by the vacuum diffusion bonding. The shear strength of the Fe3Al/Q235 interface was analyzed and the interfacial fracture morphology was observed by means of scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The experimental results indicated that the fracture location was on the Fe3Al side, and the shear rupture morphology was the cleavage characteristics with little toughness fracture. Most micro-cracks propagated along the interface near the Fe3Al side and sometimes leaned to the center of the interface. The Fe3Al/Q235 diffusion bonding joint with excellent interface combination and the sufficient shear strength (112 MPa) can be obtained when the heating temperature was 1060 • C, the holding time was 45-60 min and the pressure was 12-15 MPa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
