Abstract

The diffusion-bonded Mg-Al joints with and without silver interlayer prepared by Magnetron Sputtering have been investigated. The addition of silver interlayers eliminated the formation of Mg-Al intermetallic compounds and improved the bonding strength of Mg-Al joints. Mg₃Ag, MgAg and Ag-based solid solution were observed in the interface of Mg/Ag/Al joint. The microhardness value of the interface in Mg/Ag/Al joint with a maximum value 125 HV of Mg₃Ag layer is much lower than that in Mg/Al joint with a maximum value 225 HV of Mg₂Al₃ layer. Fracture failure in Mg/Ag/Al joint occurred between Mg₃Ag layer and MgAg layer. Transgranular fracture and plastic deformation observed on fracture surfaces of Mg/Ag/Al joint differ from cleavage fracture features of Mg/Al joint.
