Synchrotron X-ray study of vacuum brazed 316L stainless steel joints
(2025) The 14th International Conference on Brazing, High Temperature Brazing and Diffusion Bonding In DVS Berichte 399. p.114-119- Abstract
- Nickel phosphide is a valuable material in high-temperature brazing and joining applications, offering excellent thermal stability for temperatures up to 400°C. Nickel phosphide is used as powder form for joining applications and therefore it is imperative to study the formation as well as interaction of Ni2P particles with Brazing with nickel-chromium-based fillers is widely used to join stainless steel components in applications such as heat exchangers, where strong, corrosion-resistant joints are essential. Silicon and boron additives lower the filler melting temperature but can promote the formation of chromium-rich precipitates near the joint. This study characterizes such precipitates in AISI 316 stainless steel brazed with a... (More)

Silicon and boron additives lower the filler melting temperature but can promote the formation of chromium-rich precipitates near the joint. This study characterizes such precipitates in AISI 316 stainless steel brazed with a Ni-Cr-Si-B filler using high resolution synchrotron hard X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and diffraction (XRD). XRF identified Cr-rich precipitates, while XRD revealed diffraction patterns consistent with space group number 70, with lattice parameters a = 4.26 Å, b = 7.38 Å, and c = 14.70 Å. Combined with SEM XEDS analysis, the results suggest the precipitates are Cr₂B or (Cr,Fe)₂B. (Less)
