Abstract:Insulated rail joint assemblies provide electrical insulation between two sections of rail
for signalling purposes. In this work, rail steel was successfully bonded to PSZ ceramic using an
active brazing technique. In order to increase the wettability of the PSZ ceramics, titanium coating
was deposited on the ceramic surface using a filtered arc deposition system. A filler metal called
BVAg-18 (60%Ag-30%Cu-10%Sn) was used and the joining was performed at a temperature of
750 °C.
Bonding between partially stabi… Show more
