Definitions
- the present invention relates to a braze composition reduced in thermal expansion coefficient by the addition of particulate or fibrous filler(s), to the use of this composition, and to a composite member produced by joining two or more ceramic or ceramic and metal members using the braze composition.
- Brazing is widely used to join materials by means of a brazing material that melts upon heating and reacts with the surface of the materials to be joined, creating a bond upon cooling and solidification of the braze material.
- a suitable braze material wets the surfaces of the materials to be joined and allows them to be joined without them being physically changed.
- braze materials generally melt at a low temperature relative to the melting points of the materials being joined. The heating and cooling are usually, although not necessarily, carried out in vacuum or inert atmosphere.
- Braze materials are often based on metals such as Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Ti, Pd, Pt, Cr, and alloys thereof.
- Braze base materials can also include small fractions of a wide variety of other elements that are added to tune various properties of the resulting alloy.
- Brazing can be used effectively to join similar or dissimilar materials, i.e., metals to metals, ceramics to ceramics, and metals to ceramics.
- metals to ceramic joints are used in the production of light bulbs, golf clubs, furnaces, semiconductor process chambers, thermal barrier coatings, fuel cells and other electrochemical devices, scientific equipment, etc.
- the reactive element is often titanium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium or zirconium.
- the reactive element may be included, for example, as a cladding layer on a braze filler or as an integral part of a braze alloy.
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- this thermal expansion mismatch can lead to sufficient stress so as to cause cracking in the vicinity of the braze/brittle joining member interface upon cooling after the braze operation or upon thermal excursions during use of the joint.
- Such cracking can be detrimental to the desired characteristics of the joint, such as joint strength, lifetime and gas-tightness. Cracking can develop if there is mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the braze alloy and joining members, or between the joining members themselves.
- a braze material with a particulate filler that reduces thermal stress has been proposed.
- Makino et al. (US 6,390,354 and US 6,742,700) disclose an alumina-filled braze with a CTE matched well enough to that of alumina to avoid cracks in an alumina joining member.
- the surface of the ceramic particles requires metal-plating to enhance wetting with the braze material, and the particulate alumina filler fills up to 90% of the joint volume, which decreases the electrical conductivity of the joint, negatively impacting joint performance in many applications.
- alumina is less easily fractured than many other ceramics, such as YSZ, and tests indicate that an alumina-filled braze material is inadequate to effectively join to YSZ without cracking.
- the present invention relates to a composite braze composition that can be utilized to manufacture a strong, gas-tight joint where at least one of the joining members comprises a ceramic (e.g., is a ceramic or a cermet).
- the braze composition is formulated so as to reduce the thermal stress that results from the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients between a ceramic joining member and the braze or other joining members.
- the braze composition comprises a braze alloy in powder, paste or bulk form mixed with one or more particulate or fibrous fillers that exhibit a low (i.e., no more than 6 x 10 "6 /K) or negative coefficient of thermal expansion.
- the use of this braze composition to join members, at least one of which comprises ceramic, and to a composite member produced by joining two or more members at least one of which comprises a ceramic using the braze composition are also provided.
- the braze material is configured to match the CTE of at least one ceramic-containing member to be joined having a CTE between about 8 x 10 "6 /K and 15 x 10 '6 /K, or at least 10 x 10 "6 /K, for example the ceramic YSZ which has a CTE of 10.5 x 10 "6 /K.
- coefficient of thermal expansion refers to the linear thermal expansion coefficient, which is the fractional change in length of a bar per degree of temperature change. It is typically measured in parts per million per Kelvin degree (10 ⁇ 6 /K or ppm/K).
- a braze material in accordance with the present invention typically has a CTE differing by no more than about 50% of the CTE of the ceramic-containing material to be joined and preferably within 20%, within 10%, or within 5% of the material to be joined.
- a suitable braze material should have a CTE between about 8 ppm/K and 15 ppm/K, for example about 10 ppm/K or about 12 ppm/K.
- the braze material will also have structural stability up to about 900 0 C.
- Preferred braze materials also generally contain at least one reactive element, selected from the group including but not limited to titanium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium and zirconium.
- the reactive element reacts with the surface of ceramic materials, thereby promoting wetting and bonding of the braze material to the ceramic.
- a strong braze/ceramic bond can be produced without metallizing a ceramic joining member prior to brazing.
- the braze filler material is selected from the group of low (e.g., having a CTE of no more than 6 x ppm/K) or negative thermal expansion materials.
- the filler materials are generally oxygen-containing species.
- the amount of filler in the braze material should be kept as low as possible so as not to adversely impact desirable properties of the braze material.
- electronic conductivity is desired in a braze in a fuel cell joint, such as described below.
- the volume fraction of filler should be less than 50%, or less than 30%, for example about 20-30%.
- the volume fraction of filler needed to achieve a low composite CTE of about 8 ppm/K to 15 ppm/K may be less than 10%.
- the invention relates to a brazing composition including a bulk material and a CTE reducing filler.
- the bulk braze material may be Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Ti, Pd, Pt, Cr, or, typically, alloys thereof. Ag or Ni metals or alloys are particularly preferred in many applications.
- the CTE of the filler is no more than 6 x 10 "6 /K.
- the CTE of the braze composition is generally between about 8 x 10 "6 /K and 15 x 10 " 6 /K.
- a reactive element material that facilitates wetting of the braze composition to a ceramic joining member so that pre-treating of the ceramic is not ' needed is also included in preferred embodiments.
- the braze composition may be used to join ceramics or cermets to metal, ceramic, cermet, glass-ceramic or other materials, hi particular, the invention is applicable to joining members composed of ceramics with CTEs greater than 8 ppm/K, or at least 10 ppm/K, for example between about 8 ppm/K and 12 ppm/K.

- Figs. 4A-B illustrate optical microscopic cross sections of CTE modified braze/substrate interfaces in accordance with the present invention after thermal cycling of YSZ and Ni-YSZ-containing composites. Description of the invention
- the present invention was developed in the context of sealing solid oxide fuel cells, and is primarily described in that context in the present application. However, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to this context, but instead may be applied wherever brazing materials are used.
- the invention is particularly applicable in joints involving at least one brittle (low CTE) material, such as ceramic, e.g., YSZ, or cermet, e.g., Ni-YSZ.
- the requirements for the braze material that joins ceramic-containing and/or metal parts in a solid oxide fuel cell are that it (i) wets and bonds to the joining members, (ii) provides a crack-free joint after brazing and during use, (iii) provides a joint with no interconnected porosity, (iv) is stable in fuel and/or oxidizing atmosphere, (v) does not contain entities that could contaminate the other materials of the fuel cell, and in the case of metal-metal joints, (vi) has a high electrical conductivity.
- the invention provides a braze metal or alloy mixed with filler particles or fibers of a low or negative coefficient of thermal expansion material.
- the intention of filling the braze alloy with such particles or fibers is to reduce the total coefficient of thermal expansion of the resulting matrix. This provides for an improved joint when joining members, such as ceramics, that have a coefficient of thermal expansion that is lower than the unfilled braze alloy.
- Such a filled braze may also reduce the stress associated with joining two different types of members that differ substantially in coefficients of thermal expansion.
- Table 1 provides a list of the approximate coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) for various representative materials:
- the CTE for the low and negative-CTE materials can vary substantially depending on temperature and particle/grain size.
- the aluminum-magnesium titanate system for instance should be limited to ⁇ 100um particle size to achieve a low CTE.
- the CTE also varies somewhat according to the Al/Mg ratio (Giordano et al. J. European Ceramic Society 22 (2002) 181 1-1822)
- the zirconium tungstanate system shows a negative CTE at elevated temperatures, but the CTE at room temperature is near 0ppm/K. (Chu et al. Materials Science and Engineering 95 (1987)303-308)
- brazed joint The above table shows that a wide range of CTEs exist for various materials that can be used to fabricate a brazed joint.
- Various joining member combinations can be devised, including any combination of ceramic-containing materials (ceramics, cermets) with ceramics, cermets, metals, glasses, glass-ceramics (e.g., MACOR) and composites, e.g., two ceramics with different CTEs, two cermets with different CTEs, metal and ceramic with different CTEs, metal and cermet with different CTEs and metal and ceramic or cermet with similar CTEs.
- Commercially-available braze materials typically display a CTE between 15-22 ppm/K. This is much higher than the CTE of most ceramic materials, and can lead to cracking of a ceramic joined with traditional braze alloys.
- a braze alloy mixed with a filler that has a lower CTE forms a composite material expected to have a CTE between that of the braze and that of the filler.
- the filler and braze alloy can be combined in numerous ways, including but not limited to: mixing the filler with powdered braze alloy and applying the mixture to the joint; filling the joint with filler and then melting the braze alloy into the joint; producing a composite of filler and braze by pre-melting them together, cooling, and applying the resulting composite to the joint; impregnating solid braze alloy with the filler by shearing them together, e.g., in a roll press, extrusion equipment, etc.
- the braze material can also be preformed as a paste by mixing the dry braze powder with an organic solvent such as terpineol, and applied to the joint location.
- the braze alloy contains at least one reactive element, selected from the group including but not limited to titanium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium and zirconium.
- the reactive element reacts with the surface of ceramic materials, thereby promoting wetting and bonding of the braze material to the ceramic.
- the reactive element can be incorporated in the braze alloy directly (such as in Ag-Cu-Ti alloy), or can be added as a powder of the reactive element itself or the hydride of the reactive element (such as a mixture of Ag-Cu alloy with Ti or TiH 2 powder).
- the braze filler material is selected from the group of low (e.g., having a CTE of no more than 6 ppm/K) or negative thermal expansion materials.
- the filler materials are often, but not always, oxygen-containing species. Specific examples are noted below.
- the amount of filler in the braze material should be kept as low as possible so as not to adversely impact desirable properties of the braze material.
- electronic conductivity is desired in a braze in a fuel cell seal, such as described below.
- the volume fraction of filler should be less than 50%, or less than 30%, for example about 20-30%.
- CTE of about 8 ppm/K to 15 ppm/K may be less than 10%.
- a reactive element in the braze alloy will react with the surface of the filler material.
- the filler material need not be treated before brazing in order to assure wetting of the filler material with the braze alloy.
- a single braze operation will suffice to produce a nonporous composite braze material that is: (i) reduced in coefficient of thermal expansion relative to the parent alloy, and (ii) strongly bonded to the ceramic member.
- the ceramic joining member will not crack in the vicinity of the braze/ceramic interface.
- Addition of more reactive element allows the use of a higher volume of filler in the braze joint.
- the amount of Al 2 TiO 5 filler that can be accommodated by Ticusil (Ag-Cu-Ti) commercial braze while still displaying good wetting to the filler and ceramic joining member is about 25%.
- Ticusil Al-Cu-Ti
- a joint has been produced with about 30% filler that displayed good wetting.
- Al 2 TiO 5 and the Al 2 TiO 5 -MgTi 2 O 5 solid solution Al 2( ⁇ -X) Mg x Ti ( i +X) ⁇ 5
- CTP family based on CaTi 4 P 6 O 24 with various atomic substitutions possible
- Some substituted examples of are: Si-for-P yielding Na ( i +X) Zr 2 P (3-x) Si x 0i 2 , Sr-for-Ca and Zr- for-Ti yielding Ca, -x Sr x Zr 4 P 6 O 24 and (Mg,Ca,Sr, or Ba)-for-Na in NaZr 2 P 3 Oi 2 .
- Negative CTE Uniaxially-strained Ni-Ti alloy; Sc 2 (WO 4 ) 3 family; Sc 2 (MoO 4 );) family; ZrW 2 O 8 ; PbTiO 3 ; TaVO 5 ; Ta 2 O 5 -WO 3 solid solution; HfO 2 -TiO 2 solid solution; and LiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 compounds.
- Li a composite member produced by joining two or more ceramic-containing or ceramic-containing and metal members using the braze composition
- the entire braze joint need not be filled with the low- or negative-CTE material. Only that portion of the braze that is adjacent to a ceramic or cermet joining member or members/in close contact with those joining member(s) needs to have a modified CTE.
- the CTE modified braze composition is used to join ceramic and metal members in an electrochemical cell, for example a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC).
- SOFC solid oxide fuel cell
- filler is added to the lower half of the braze joint, where it contacts the ceramic (e.g., yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)) members.
- YSZ yttrium-stabilized zirconia
- the top part of the braze has less or no filler. This could be an advantage if the filler is expensive, or if addition of the filler reduces the conductivity of the braze. In the illustrated case, it would be desirable to maintain a high-conductivity pathway through the braze between the metal sheet and the porous metal.
- the filler can be localized to a specific part of the joint, or the concentration of filler can be gradually adjusted throughout the joint, producing a graded structure.
- braze material (braze/filler mixture) was developed for sealing a solid oxide fuel cell, depicted in Fig. 2.
- the braze contacts metal and yttrium-stabilized zirconia ceramic (YSZ), both of which can be porous or dense.
- the requirements for the braze material are that it (i) wets and bonds to the joining members, yet does not spread across the YSZ surface (ii) provides a crack-free joint after brazing and during use so that the air and fuel do not mix, (iii) provides a joint with no interconnected porosity so that the air and fuel do not mix, (iv) is stable in fuel and oxidizing atmosphere (air), (v) does not contain entities that could contaminate the other materials of the fuel cell, and (vi) has a high electrical conductivity to allow electrons to pass efficiently between the porous metal and the metal sheet.
- a crack-free, nonporous, well-bonded joint was obtained between 430 stainless steel and YSZ by using a braze material that comprised a mixture of a Ag- Cu-Ti or Ag-Ti alloy and aluminum/magnesium titanate.
- Figs. 3A-C illustrate cross sections of braze joints that include various amounts of low-CTE filler particles
- Fig. 3 A shows a braze without filler joining YSZ and steel
- Fig. 3B shows a braze with 10% aluminum titanate filler joining YSZ and steel
- Fig. 3C shows a braze with 10% aluminum titanate filler joining YSZ and steel.
- the CTE modified braze compositions were made by mixing 10-80 ⁇ m Al 2 TiO 5 (aluminum titanate) filler with the braze metal.
- the braze metal was 68.8Ag- 26.7Cu-4.5Ti alloy powder (Ticusil, a registered trademark of Morgan Advanced Ceramics).
- the braze joint was produced by sandwiching a physical mixture of the braze metal powder and the filler powder between 430 stainless steel and YSZ sheets. The samples were then placed in a vacuum furnace with 2psi argon atmosphere and heated to 870"C for 5 minutes, with a heating and cooling rate of 1O 0 C per minute to produce the joint.
- the braze material wet the steel and YSZ surfaces, providing a uniform joint with strong interfaces.
- the YSZ member is clearly cracked in the case of 0% or 10% Al 2 TiO 5 filler.
- the joint with 20% Al 2 TiO 5 is crack- free. It is concluded that the addition of this amount of filler lowered the braze CTE towards that of YSZ sufficiently to avoid excessive residual stress in the joint after brazing. Note also that the joints do not contain any pore space.
- Ticusil filled with 25 vol% Al 2 TiO 5 was brazed onto the surface of dense YSZ and porous Ni-YSZ substrates. After brazing, the samples were thermally cycled. The YSZ sample was cycled very rapidly between 100-700°C at about 400°C/min. The Ni-YSZ sample was cycled between 350-700°C at 10°C/min.
- Figs. 4A-B illustrate optical microscopic cross section images of the braze/substrate interface after thermal cycling. There are no cracks in the substrate, and no delamination at the braze/substrate interface is detected. This indicates that the addition of this amount of filler lowered the braze CTE towards that of YSZ and Ni-
- Ti-containing braze alloys are reactive towards ceramics, such as YSZ. This means that the YSZ does not need to be metallized before brazing; the Ti reacts with the YSZ surface during brazing, thus promoting wetting and bonding of the braze to the YSZ surface.
- a thin, gray Ti-rich reaction layer is visible at the braze/YSZ interface in the images in the figures discussed above. This reaction layer is important for a good bond.
- a similar reaction layer exists on the surface of the Al 2 TiO 5 particles (black spots in the braze layer). The reaction between the filler surface and Ti in the braze alloy means that the filler does not need to be metallized before brazing in order to assure wetting and bonding of the braze alloy to the filler surface.
- the thickness of the reaction layer at the YSZ/braze interface decreases. While the invention is not limited by this interpretation, this is believed to be because Ti is being used up in the filler-braze reaction and is therefore not available to react with the YSZ surface. This has important implications. For filler levels of 30% and above, a weak or no bond to the YSZ surface was obtained. This is believed to be because not enough Ti was available to react with the YSZ surface, having been used up on the filler surface. Adding more Ti to the braze metal mixture allows for a higher level of filler to be used while still producing a good bond to the YSZ member.
- the Al 2 TiO 5 filler not only lowers the CTE of the braze joint, it helps to sequester the excess Ti within the joint. This effect is expected for a wide variety of ceramic filler materials.
- Al 2 TiO 5 15-25% Al 2 TiO 5 is a suitable range for avoiding these undesired results.
- particle size of the filler will affect the amount of reactive element used in coating its surface: smaller particles have more surface area to coat per volume. Therefore particle size can be used to tune the balance between reactive element and filler material.
- the examples described here used about 10-100 ⁇ m (28 ⁇ m average) particles.
- the low CTE of Al 2 TiO 5 allows a sufficient CTE match with the ceramic joining member at relatively low filler loading.
- Much of the prior art uses filler levels well above 20%. This is an advantage of using Al 2 TiO 5 , as the low filler level means that the electronic and thermal conductivity of the braze composite will remain high.
- the thickness of the resulting joint increases as well. Thinner joints could be produced if less braze composite is used. In some applications, however, the ability to control joint thickness by use of a filler may be advantageous.
- the invention encompasses braze materials with CTEs reduced to match that of a ceramic member to be joined by brazing, such a brazed composite, and the associated brazing method. While the invention is described herein primarily with reference to brazes as seals in solid oxide fuel cells it is not so limited.
- the CTE modified braze materials and methods of the invention may be used to join members forming composite in a wide range of technical fields; anywhere ceramic, cermet or metal and ceramic/cermet joints are required. Examples include: fuel cells and other electrochemical devices, furnaces, semiconductor process chambers, thermal barrier coatings, scientific equipment, light bulbs, medical implants and golf clubs.
