The brazing of SiCp/Al composites is limited owing to the unavailability of suitable commercial intermediate temperature brazes. Adding a third constituent of copper to aluminum-silicon brazing alloy can depress the melting point sharply. While, it generates a large volume fraction of the hard Al2Cu intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which makes the alloy brittle and reduces its corrosion resistance. A quaternary addition of nickel that partly substitute for copper can refine grain size significantly, improve the mechanical properties, and without altering the melting range of aluminum-silicon-copper alloy. Al-Cu-Ni-Si braze alloy has been prepared and a fluxless process has been employed to braze SiCp/Al composites that leads to a good bonding strength of brazing joint.
