Brazing is a technology for bonding similar or dissimilar substrate materials by using temperatures above 450 degrees Celsius to effect the phase change in an added filler of clad, preferably without markedly impacting the integrity of the substrate(s). This book offers a collection of nineteen in-depth presentations devoted to a number of state-of-the art brazing topics. The authors represent some of the most respected world institutions in the field, including national laboratories, agencies, academic organizations, and research centers from industrial corporations.

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 considers specific materials, such as super alloys, filler metals for high temperature brazing, diamonds and cubic boron nitride, and varied ceramics and intermetallics. Chapters explore brazing of carbon-carbon (C/C) composites to metals, and 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.
