In brazing, the choice of base metal, brazing filler metal (BFM), and braze process conditions involves complex tradeoffs among cost, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, others. this work, tradeoff between strength resistance 316L stainless steel joints brazed with a newer “very corrosion-resistant” Ni-Cr-P-Mo-Si BFM more established “corrosion-resistant” Ni-Cr-Si-B is quantitatively ana...

Microwave energy has been in use for variety of applications for over 50 years. These applications include communication, food processing, wood drying, rubber vulcanization, medical therapy, polymers, etc. In the last two decades microwave heating has been also applied very effectively and efficiently to heat and sinter ceramic materials. Microwave heating is recognized for its various advantag...

-s 1 WELDING JOURNAL ABSTRACT. Brazement design is a critically important characteristic of a brazed joint structure. The design is responsible for reliability and proper service behavior of brazed products. According to the state of the art, a good design provides not only required properties of the brazed structure, but also a very high technological suitability. The latter is necessary in or...
