Application of Ag–Cu–Ti active metal composite filler in ceramic joining: a review

Abstract

As a structural and functional material with excellent properties, ceramics play an extremely important role in a wide range of industries, including life and production. To expand the range of applications for ceramic materials, ceramics are often joined to metals and then used. Among the physical and chemical joining methods of ceramics to metals, the AMB method is efficient and simple, suitable for industrial applications, and has been a hot topic of research. However, due to the problems of residual stresses caused by the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients between ceramic and metal brazing, composite fillers have become a very worthwhile solution by regulating the physical properties of the brazing material and improving the weld structure. This review describes the wetting principle and application of Ag‒Cu‒Ti active metal filler in the field of ceramic joining, with emphasis on the current stage of composite filler, and discusses the influence on the former brazing properties and organization after the introduction of dissimilar materials.
