Brazing processes offer enhanced control, adaptability and cost-efficiency in the joining of materials, which has unsurprisingly lead to great interest and investment. Drawing on important research in the area, Advances in brazing: Science, technology and applications provides a clear guide to the key elements of field. Beginning with an introduction to the fundamental principles of brazing, the book goes on to discuss varied materials used in brazing processes, and concludes by exploring their use in a wide range of applications.

Key Features: reviews the advances of brazing processes in joining materials; discusses the fundamentals of brazing and considers specific materials, including super alloys, filler metals, ceramics and intermetallics; brazing of cutting materials and structural applications are also discussed.

Contents: Part 1 Fundamentals of brazing: The wetting process in brazing; Strength and margins of brazed joints; Modeling of the sequence phenomena in brazing. Part 2 Materials used in brazing: Brazing of superalloys and intermetallic alloys; High temperature brazing: Filler metals and processing; Brazing of diamonds and cubic boron nitride; Brazing of oxide, carbide, nitride and composite ceramics; Brazing of nickel, ferrite and titanium-aluminum intermetallics; Brazing of aluminium and aluminium to steel; Controlled atmosphere brazing of aluminum; Active metal brazing of advanced ceramic composites to metallic systems; Brazing of metal and ceramic joints; Brazing of carbon-carbon (C/C) composites to metals. Part 3 Applications of brazing and brazed materials: Brazing of cutting materials; Coating techniques using brazing; Metal-nonmetal brazing for electrical, packaging and structural applications; Glasses and glass ceramics as brazing materials for high temperature applications; Brazing of nickel-based filler metals for pipes and other components in contact with drinking water; Fluxless brazing of aluminium.
