Abstract Copper/brass joints were brazed using Sn/Ni-modified copper-phosphorus filler metal, and their microstructure, mechanical properties, and interfacial formation mechanism were investigated. The microstructure of the brazed joints was characterized using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Variations in microhardness across the brazing interface were analyzed using a fully automatic microhardness tester, while thermodynamic calculations were employed to elucidate the interfacial reaction mechanism. The results indicate that the brazing interface primarily consists of Cu(s, s) (copper solid solution), Cu(s, s)+Ni2P+Cu3P phases, Cu-Sn solid solution, and brittle Cu3P compounds. The interfacial microhardness distribution exhibits a characteristic pattern with higher values in the central region and lower values at the edges. Specifically, the presence of Cu3P compounds in the brazing seam center results in a peak microhardness of 168.5HV. A diffusion layer approximately 13 μm thick forms near the copper side, exhibiting a microhardness of 103.4HV. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that the Gibbs free energy change for Ni2P formation (ΔGNi2P) is lower than that for Cu3P (ΔGCu3P). Consequently, the addition of Ni in the modified filler metal promotes preferential formation of Ni2P at the reaction interface, which contributes to enhancing the overall performance of the joint.
