C{sub f}/LAS composites were successfully jointed to TC4 alloy with Ag−Cu−Ti filler by vacuum brazing. The interfacial microstructure of TC4/C{sub f}/LAS composites joints was characterized by employing scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The determination of the thin interfacial reaction layer (TiSi{sub 2} + TiC layer) was realized by TEM. The effect of holding time on the interfacial microstructure and shear strength were investigated. With the increasing holding time, the thickness of diffusion layer, Ti{sub 3}Cu{sub 4} layer, and TiSi{sub 2} + TiC layer increased obviously, on the contrary, that of Ti−Cu intermetallic compound layers decreased gradually. Besides, blocky Ti{sub 3}Cu{sub 4} phase was coarsened when the joint was brazed at 890 °C for 20 min, which deteriorated the mechanical properties of the joint dramatically. The interfacial evolution of TC4/C{sub f}/LAS composites joint and the formation of TiSi{sub 2}, TiC, Ti{sub 3}Cu{sub 4}, TiCu and Ti{sub 2}Cu phases were expounded. The maximum shear strength of 26.4 MPa was obtained when brazed at 890 °C for 10 min. - Highlights: •The thin interface reaction layer was determined to be TiSi{sub 2} + TiC layer by TEM. •Holding time had influence on the interfacial microstructure and joint properties. •Microstructural evolution mechanism and reactions of brazed joints were expounded.
