Crystallization Behavior in Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO Glass Braze and Its Application for Joining Ferrite Ceramics at a Relatively Low Temperature

Abstract

50Bi2O3-30B2O3-20ZnO (mol.%) glass was designed and prepared in our previous work. On the basis of preliminary work on DSC analysis, the crystallization behavior of the glass was further investigated in the present work. The results showed that Bi38ZnO58 and Bi45BO69 crystals were formed in the glass during the heating process. Subsequently, ferrite ceramics were then brazed at one of the peak temperatures, 551 °C. The results showed that Bi38ZnO58 and Bi45BO69 crystals were formed in the joint domain, and the joint possessed a shear strength value of 76.6 MPa.
