Abstract (EN): Reactive nanoscale multilayer foils for use in joining techniques have attracted a great deal of attention. A common feature of these nanolayers is the large amount of heat released during the reaction between the layers to form a new phase. In this study, films of alternated Ni and Al nanolayers (NanoFoil(A (R)) made by the Indium Corporation) with period (bilayer thickness) close to 54 nm and with a thickness of 60 mu m were used as local heat sources to bond lightweight alloys. The as-deposited Ni and Al alternated nanolayers evolve into NiAl nanometric grains when the multilayer, ignited by an electrical discharge, reacts. Joining of lightweight alloys was performed at room temperature under pressures of 10-80 MPa. The ability of the nanolayers to join these alloys by high temperature diffusion bonding was also investigated. The microstructural and chemical characterizations of the interfaces were performed on cross-sections of the joints by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Ni/Al nanolayers are an effective means of joining titanium alloys at room temperature. A sound interface, mainly composed by NiAl grains, is obtained in joints of TiAl/TiAl and TiAl/Inconel, produced with NanoFoil(A (R)) by annealing at 700 A(0)C, during 60 min under a pressure of 10 MPa. The low shear strength revealed a weak adhesion of the nanofoil to the base materials.
