The paper presents the results of high-temperature differential thermal analysis of brazing filler metals based on Cu–Mn–Ni–Si system, metallographic examination of brazed joints of 08kp steel, made with application of plasma-arc heating. It is shown that at silicon alloying of Cu–Mn–Ni system the alloy melting temperature decreases and its wetting ability increases. X-Ray microanalysis revealed that brazed weld of 08kp steel joints consists of copper-based solid solution and dispersed precipitates of a silicon-enriched phase. An iron-based phase with higher concentration of silicon and manganese is formed on brazing filler metal–base metal interphase as a thin band (along the brazed weld), that is indicative of appearance of silicides of a complex composition. Brazed joint strength becomes higher with increase in nickel concentration in the alloy and is equal to 367 MPa (average value). 9 Ref., 2 Tables, 6 Figures.
Keywords: plasma-arc brazing, brazing filler metal, microstructure, spreading, solidus and liquidus temperature, strength
