About this title

Review

Set against other texts dedicated to brazing the book comes out well. The author has avoided the temptation to adopt a theoretical approach and offers much by way of guidance and instruction. On balance, it is well worth the money - Insight; Easy to find specific, practical information on any metal, filler or flux - Choice

Synopsis

As more materials with specific characteristics are made available to the design engineer the need to be able to effectively combine these has been increased. Consequently joining techniques such as brazing have become increasing important and there is a greater need to fully understand the process. The aim of this text is to provide a comprehensive overview of the technology surrounding the brazing process to allow the inexperienced engineer, student or professional, to fully utilize this technology. It begins by explaining the history behind the development of the brazing before moving on to discuss the important parameters and elements of the process itself. Chapter 3 discusses the fundamental importance of the base metal and its associated characteristics and Chapter 4 explains how to select the most appropriate base before moving on to discuss filler metal. A detailed description of all the important fiber materials is given as is the family groups of the base metals. Flux and atmospheres are then outlined followed by a discussion of joint design, tooling, surface preparation, inspection and safety.

Applications are considered in chapter 7 before finally looking to the future of brazing.
