Brazing has emerged as a critical methodology for joining dissimilar materials, most notably metals and ceramics. This technique utilises a filler metal, which melts at a temperature lower than that ...

This article was updated March 7, 2023. It was originally published Dec. 9, 2004. Engineers have an impressive array of ways to join two pieces of metal including adhesives, nuts and bolts, and a long ...

New research shows small additions of nickel and yttrium can dramatically improve the performance of aluminum brazing fillers. This could be a route to stronger joints at lower processing temperatures ...

Skipping any of the basic brazing steps can lead to pipe joint failure. Strong brazed joints in high-pressure pipes are critical to lasting, leak-free performance. However, brazing is not always given ...

Brazing is a process by which two metals are joined together. During the brazing process, a filler metal, which is otherwise referred to as a solder, is brought to a liquidus temperature that is ...

Soldering, brazing, and welding are all methods of joining two or more pieces of metal and selected other materials. They are also methods used to fill gaps in metal parts. In welding, the two metals ...

Understanding how the intrinsic aspects of a metal additive manufactured (AM) component, such as the non-equilibrium microstructure and rough surface finish, influence the brazing process. Additive ...

Any business that uses refrigeration is dealing with rising costs. The price of HFCs has increased dramatically over the last few years, and with the EPA phasedown of HFCs beginning this year, experts ...
