Abstract
Modern brazing filler metals for brazing high-temperature nickel alloys are complex alloys, where the components should provide the required level of strength, high-temperature resistance, high-temperature corrosion resistance and other service properties of brazed joints. However, establishing the optimum composition to obtain the desired set of properties is a non-trivial task, requiring considerable investment of time and money. The work is a study of applicability of the method of mathematical modeling of thermodynamic processes (CALPHAD) during development of multicomponent filler metals for brazing high-temperature nickel alloys. During performance of investigations, using CALPHAD computational procedure, melting temperature ranges were determined for a number of alloys of Ni–Cr–Co–Al–(Ме)–Ta system. Calculated data were obtained on the influence of adhesion-active elements of groups IV and V of the periodic table on liquidus temperature and phase composition of the base nickel alloy. In particular, their impact on the quantity and thermal stability of γ′-phase and σ-phase was determined. Thermodynamic calculated data, obtained with application of mathematical modeling method, were used during development and investigation of a number of promising filler metals for brazing high-temperature nickel alloys, including single-crystal high-temperature nickel alloy ZhS-32VI.
