Improved Wetting Characteristics in TiO2–Modified Ag-CuO Air Braze Filler Metals

Conference ·
OSTI ID:948424

In this paper we report on the results of a series of sessile drop experiments designed to examine the effect of TiO2 on the wetting behavior of Ag-CuO air braze filler metals. It was found that TiO2 concentrations as small as 0.5 mol% can significantly decrease the contact angle of Ag-CuO on alumina over a compositional range of 1 – 34mol% CuO. The effect appears to maximize at a copper oxide concentration of ~4 mol% CuO regardless of the titania content.
