Design of CoNiCrFeCu-xSc High-Entropy Alloy Fillers for Braze-Welding of WC-Co to Steel
. The interface between the fusion zone and AISI 1045 steel exhibited an epitaxial growth of dendrites from the steel base metal. The interface between WC-Co and the fusion zone exhibited a partial penetration of brazing filler into the Co matrix, forming a metallurgical bonding between the dissimilar materials. Sc, as an alloying element in the filler metal, enhanced the bond formation because it decreased the solidus temperature and increased wetting.
