abstract = "In this study, the composite approach was used to develop ZrO2 nanoparticles (mean diameter ∼100 nm) reinforced Al-Si-Cu filler alloys with low melting point and improved spreadability. The bulk samples were synthesized by vacuum melting and casting route. Differential thermal analysis of filler metals was conducted to measure the melting temperature, and the corresponding microstructures were observed. The thermal analysis results showed that the liquidus temperature of Al-Si-Cu filler metals was around 535°C. In addition, the microstructure of the brazing filler was refined up to an optimum concentration of high energy ZrO2 nanoparticles in the matrix. The thickness of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in the matrix, i.e., CuAl2, Al-Si and Al-Si-Cu were also found to decrease due to the presence of ZrO2 nanoparticles. The composite brazing fillers developed in this study show an increase in spreading ratio greater than 90 % as compared to the monolithic alloy.",
