SiC-particulate-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiCp/Al MMCs) are widely used in the aerospace field due to their high specific stiffness and strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good radiation resistance. In the process of application and promotion, there is a connection problem between the aluminum matrix composites and electronic glass. In this work, the lead-free SiO₂-B₂O₃-Na₂O glass filler was used to seal 65 vol.% SiCp/ZL102 composites and DM305 electronic glass in an atmospheric environment. The effects of the sealing temperature on the properties of the joints were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Additionally, the causes of defects and the fracture mechanisms of the joints were analyzed. The results showed that the glass filler and base material were connected through a dual mechanism of an Al, Na, Si, and O element diffusion reaction and a mechanical occlusion. At a sealing temperature of 540 °C and a holding time of 30 min, the joint interface was dense and crack-free. Meanwhile, the average shear strength reached 13.0 MPa, and the leakage rate of air tightness was 1 × 10⁻⁹ Pa·m³/s. The brittle fracture features were revealed by the step-like morphology of the fracture, which originated from the brazing seam and propagated into the pore. The crack gradually propagated into the base material on both sides as the fracture area expanded, ultimately resulting in a fracture.

55% SiC_p/ZL102 composites were surface metalized by electroless nickel plating. The Al-17Cu-8Mg-2Ni as-cast brazing alloy was treated by an ultra-cold thin strip system using a melt-spinning machine to realize the redistribution of solutes. The obtained foil-like brazing alloy has better flexibility, more uniform element distribution, and higher free energy than the as-cast brazing alloy. The 55% SiC_p/ZL102 composites after nickel plating were brazed by different brazing processes in the air. The Ni-P coating effectively inhibited the formation of alumina film on the composite surface. However, the presence of an oxide layer on the foil filler caused a negative effect on the Ni-P coating and hindered the diffusion between elements. SiC, Ni₂Al₃, and other phases were detected in the joint port. The characteristic morphologies such as furrows and massive particles indicated that the fracture behavior is brittle fracture. The maximum shear strength of the joint was 88.31 MPa at 590°C.
