Advances in Brazing—Science, Technology and Applications

Brazing is a fast growing area of joining technologies. This book reviews current research in the area summarized by some of the world’s leading experts in the subject.

Part one introduces the fundamentals of brazing, including molten metal wetting processes, strength and margins of safety of brazed joints, and modeling of associated physical phenomena. Part two goes on to consider specific materials, such as super alloys, filler metals for high temperature brazing, diamonds and cubic boron nitride, and varied ceramics and intermetallics. Chapters also explore brazing of carbon-carbon (C/C) composites to metals before the final section discusses applications of brazing and brazed materials, including brazing of cutting materials, use of coating techniques, and metal-nonmetal brazing for electrical, packaging and structural applications, fluxless brazing, the use of glasses and glass ceramics for high temperature applications and nickel-based filler metals for components in contact with drinking water.try{F5_flush(document);}catch(e){}
