Abstract

Brazing of Al to Cu using AI-Si-Mg-Bi brazing alloy has been carried out in the vacuum furnace. In the bonded interlayer, there were two kinds of intermetallic compounds. One of these intermetallic compounds was e phase and the other was b phase. The growth of b phase was controlled by diffusion Al into Cu. Deformation behavior of Al-Cu brazing joint was brittle without deformation of the base metal. Shear strength of the joint was only about 20MPa. The shear specimen broken in the intermetallic compound, which was mainly e phase. Shear strength did not depend on the bonding temperature.
