Abstract:

A reactive air brazing Ag-CuO alloy was evaluated for brazing dual phase oxygen membrane Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-δ- NdBaCo2O5+δ (CGO-NBCO). Contact angle tests were observed between Ag-Cu brazes and CGO-NBCO in air and the interfacial microstructures of the used samples were evaluated by SEM. The results indicate that the wetting angle decreases from 35° to 20° with the content of Cu increased from 6.6mol% to 15.8mol%. It is found that there are copper oxide-enriched zones formed in the junction of the alloy and substrate. The wettability between Ag-CuO alloy and oxygen membrane CGO-NBCO is improved due to the interfacial reaction between Cu oxides in braze and the surface layers of CGO-NBCO substrates to form compounds of Ba-Cu-O, Co-Cu-O and Nd-Ce-Cu-O oxides. The new formed interface reaction layers promote the wettability of the rest braze.
