Investigation Of Mechanical Properties And Microstructures Of Al-Cu Pipe Joints With Eutectic Welded And Brazed Over Eutectic

Year 2022, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 18 - 26, 15.12.2022

Abstract

In order to ensure tightness, which is one of the most important factors in the refrigeration cycle, strong
aluminum-copper connections must be formed. These connections, which operate in a vibrating
environment, should also prevent gas leaks caused by leaks that may occur as a result of long-term use.
In this study, aluminum and copper pipes connected by eutectic and brazing method were examined,
and these two methods were applied together to a single connection point in order to increase the joint
strength and provide sealing. Explosion test, tensile test and leak test were applied to all sample types,
and their microstructures at the junction interfaces were examined under scanning electron
microscope. As a result of the experimental studies, the shear stress of the eutectic brazed joint was
15.32% higher than the other connection. It has been observed that the specimens connected with the
eutectic braze connection are more resistant to pressure by 4.76% than the eutectic joint. As a result
of the tightness tests, it was determined that the tightness, which was 1%, was reduced from 1% to 0%

Ötektik Kaynağı ve Ötektik Üzeri Sert Lehim Uygulanan Al-Cu Boru Bağlantılarının Mekanik Özellik ve Mikroyapılarının İncelenmesi

Year 2022, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 18 - 26, 15.12.2022

Abstract

Soğutma çevriminde en önemli faktörlerden biri olan sızdırmazlığın sağlanması için kuvvetli alüminyum
bakır bağlantılarının oluşturulması gerekmektedir. Titreşimli bir ortamda çalışan bu bağlantılar aynı
zamanda uzun süreli kullanımlar sonucunda meydana gelebilecek sızıntılardan kaynaklı gaz kaçaklarına
engel olmalıdır. Bu çalışmada ötektik kaynağı ve ötektik üzeri sert lehim yöntemi ile birleştirilmiş
alüminyum ve bakır borular incelenmiş, bağlantı mukavemetinin artırılması ve sızdırmazlığın sağlaması
için bu iki yöntem tek bir bağlantı noktasına beraberce uygulanmıştır. Tüm numune çeşitlerine patlatma
testi, çekme testi, sızdırmazlık testi uygulanmış olup, taramalı elektron mikroskobu altında bağlantı ara
yüzeylerindeki mikroyapıları incelenmiştir. Yapılan deneysel çalışmalar sonucunda ötektik üzeri sert
lehim bağlantısından kesme gerilmesinin diğer bağlantıya göre %15.32 daha yüksek sonuç elde
edilmiştir. Ötektik üzeri sert lehim bağlantısı ile bağlanan numunelerin, ötektik bağlantıya göre %4,76
oranında basınca daha dayanıklı olduğu görülmüştür. Sızdırmazlık testleri sonucunda ise % 1 oranında
olan sızdırmazlığın % 1 den % 0 oranına düşürüldüğü tespit edilmiştir.
