To solve the problem that the brazing temperature of existing filler metals for joining the superalloy GH4169 exceeds its δ phase solid solution temperature, which leads to the dissolution of the δ phase during brazing and consequently degrades the high-temperature performance of the alloy, this work conducts a study on a novel low-temperature Ni-based brazing filler for GH4169 and optimizes the brazing process. The brazing temperature is set at 980 ℃, which is comparable to the solid solution temperature of the alloy, in order to achieve a good match between brazing and heat treatment temperatures. Based on the binary phase diagrams, with Pd as the primary melting point depressant and B and Si as the secondary melting point depressants, a novel Ni-based brazing filler of 36Pd-10Cr-3B-1Si-Ni is configured and smelted. The melting point, wettability, and weldability of the novel filler on GH4169-GH536 butt joints are investigated. The results show that the solidus and liquidus temperatures of the novel filler are in the range of 828.82-961.43 ℃, and the wetting angle is 7.8°at 980 ℃ for 15 min, demonstrating excellent wettability, thereby optimizing the brazing process parameters. Under the process conditions of 980 ℃ for 60 min and a joint clearance-free assembly, the maximum room-temperature tensile strength of the brazed joint reaches 586 MPa, which exceeds that of the conventional BNi-2 brazing filler; the high-temperature creep rupture performance at high temperature exceeds 10 h, and the joint is free of obvious defects. Therefore, the novel low-melting Ni-based brazing filler of 36Pd-10Cr-3B-1Si-Ni can be used to achieve effective brazing of GH4169 while preserving its original microstructure and properties.
