Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body includes: an arranging step and a heating step. The arranging step is a step of arranging a plurality of members which contains a TiAl intermetallic compound and insert materials which contain Ti as a major element, Cu and Ni such that each of the insert materials is inserted between two adjacent members of the plurality of members. The heating step is a step of heating the plurality of members and the insert materials in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature above melting points of the insert materials and below melting points of the plurality of members.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body comprising: arranging a plurality of members which contains a TiAl intermetallic compound and insert materials which contain Ti as a major element, Cu and Ni such that each of the insert materials is inserted between two adjacent members of the plurality of members; heating the plurality of members and the insert materials in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature above melting points of the insert materials and below melting points of the plurality of members to form a joining layer; and cooling the joining layer, wherein the joining layer contains a first diffusion layer and a second diffusion layer, and wherein each of the first diffusion layer and the second diffusion layer contains Cu of no more than approximately 3 wt % and contains Ni of no more than approximately 3 wt %. 2. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the heating step is performed without actively applying pressure to the plurality of members. 3. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 1 , wherein each of the insert materials includes one of a lamination material in which Ti foil, Cu foil and Ni foil are laminated, a lamination material in which Ti foil and Cu—Ni foil are laminated and Ti—Cu—Ni foil. 4. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 3 , wherein, in the arranging step, each of the insert materials is pressed by one of the two adjacent members to the other of the two adjacent members by using own weight of the one of the two adjacent members. 5. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 1 , wherein each of the insert materials includes paste which includes a powdered brazing filler metal containing Ti, Cu and Ni. 6. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 5 , wherein, in the arranging step, each of the insert materials is inserted and supported in a predetermined clearance between the two adjacent members. 7. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of members contains Al of 35 to 55 at. %, wherein each of the insert materials contains Cu of 5 to 20 wt % and Ni of 5 to 20 wt %, and wherein the heating step is performed in heating temperature of 1000 to 1250 degrees Celsius. 8. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of members is cylindrically-shaped or ring-shaped. 9. A TiAl joined body comprising: a plurality of members configured to contain a TiAl intermetallic compound; and joining layers, each of which configured to be formed along a faying surface between two adjacent members of the plurality of members, wherein each of joining layers includes: a first diffusion layer configured to be formed on a side of one of the two adjacent members, and a second diffusion layer configured to be formed on a side of the other of the two adjacent members, wherein the first diffusion layer and the second diffusion layer contain Cu and Ni, and contain at least one of an α-phase Ti-based metal and a β-phase Ti-based metal, wherein each of the plurality of members contains Al of 35 to 55 at.%, and wherein the highest concentration of each of the Cu and Ni is approximately 2 to 3 wt % in each of the first diffusion layer and the second diffusion layer. 10. The TiAl joined body according to claim 9 , wherein each of the first diffusion layer and the second diffusion layer has an acicular structure. 11. The TiAl joined body according to claim 9 , wherein a ratio of Cu becomes smaller at a farther portion from the faying surface, wherein the ratio of Ni becomes smaller at a farther portion from the faying surface, and wherein the ratio of Al becomes larger at a farther portion from the faying surface. 12. The TiAl joined body according to claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of members is cylindrically-shaped or ring-shaped. 13. The manufacturing method of a TiAl joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the joining layer includes an α-phase Ti or a β-phase Ti.
