Joining of ceramic to metal by friction welding process: A review

Abstract

In this paper, the recent progress in friction welding of alumina along with its various composites to metals is thoroughly investigated and compared. Among the existing methods of joining ceramics to metals, the friction welding process seems to be a reliable approach that provides promising joint properties. A relationship is established between processing parameters, their resultant microstructures, and their associated mechanical properties. The material properties and the environmental factors are taken into account while manifesting this comparison. The influence of various factors such as rotations per minute (r/min), friction pressure, and friction time on mechanical properties is critically analyzed. However, several challenges that must be addressed appropriately to achieve these joints and to fabricate the same have been discussed.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of GH4169 Superalloy and Si3N4 Ceramic Joints Brazed with AgCuTi/Cu foam/AgCuTi Composited Filler

“…lapses, resulting in the decrease in shear strength. When braze at 910 °C, Cu foam is completely dissolved, the shear strength of brazing joint increases slightly with the increase in reaction layer thickness on Si3N4 ceramic side and Ti-Cu intermetallic compounds in joint, but it is still lower than the shear strength at 850 °C [35,36].…”

“…After further increasing the brazing temperature, the skeleton structure of Cu foam collapses, resulting in the decrease in shear strength. When braze at 910 • C, Cu foam is completely dissolved, the shear strength of brazing joint increases slightly with the increase in reaction layer thickness on Si 3 N 4 ceramic side and Ti-Cu intermetallic compounds in joint, but it is still lower than the shear strength at 850 • C [35,36]. When brazed with AgCuTi filler with Cu foam addition, the variation trend of the shear strength can be explained as follows.…”

Studying the STA effects on aluminium alloy joints by friction welding

“…Friction welding, as opposed to fusion welding, removes fusion-related issues. To ensure the appropriate heat input, choosing the right FW conditions is necessary to produce a high-quality joint [6,7]. FW is used to join the components composed of various aluminium alloys, including projectiles, electrical connections, windscreens, and wheel rims [8].…”

Ta/Ti/Ni/Ceramic Multilayered Composites by Combustion Synthesis: Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

“…To date, multilayer cermet materials can be fabricated by several methods such as brazing [7][8][9][10], solid-state joining via friction-and laser-assisted welding [11][12][13], physical vapor deposition [14], spark plasma sintering [15], ceramic-metal diffusion bonding [4,5], melt infiltration [16,17]), and field-activated, pressure-assisted synthesis [18].…”

“…Solid-state joining routes afford for joining metals with ceramics without the formation of the liquid phase. In this case, the main drawbacks are expensive facilities, the use of high pressure, a large duration of applied pressure, and the restricted configuration of resultant items [11][12][13][14][15]. The methods Metals 2022, 12, 38 2 of 16 of liquid-phase joining (ceramic-metal diffusion bonding, infiltration bonding) require the presence of the liquid phase, some certain optimal exposure time, and close contact between the adjoining surfaces [4,5,19].…”
