Abstract
Reaction behavior of joining interface of zirconia-SUS304 by active metal brazing using Ti was studied by means of EPMA, XRD, IMA, XPS and AES. The results show that O was diffused from the zirconia, reacting with the Ti active metal zone to produce TiO. The amount of O in the denaturizing layer was found to dicrease compared with original zone of zirconia. The bonding state of Zr in the denaturizing layer changed from Zr4+ to Zr2+. At the same time, the diffusion of Ti were found in the zirconia near the interface of zirconia-Ti.
