Brazing can be carried out with a torch or in a furnace. For larger surfaces furnace brazing is preferable. The best strength properties are obtained with a solder gap of 0.05 to 0.2 mm between the surfaces. Table Id.11 shows the chemical composition and the brazing temperatures of various filler metals.

One method involves a mixture of flux with silicon powder, the NOCOLOK Sil Flux process [95]. At brazing temperature, the silicon powder diffuses into the aluminium substrate and generates Al-Si filler metal for joint formation. Sil flux can be applied with a binder to specific component surfaces, e.g. extruded tubes. In this case, the filler metal would be supplied from the tube and a clad fin sheet is not necessary. 

Heat is applied to the parts to be joined which melts a manually fed or pre-placed filler braze metal (which has a melting temperature >450 °C) into the joint by capillary action. A flux is usually applied to facilitate wetting of the joint, prevent oxidation, remove oxides and reduce fuming (see 7.12F).

The qualification of brazing procedures, brazers, or brazing operations is required in accordance with the requirements of Part QB, Sec. IX, ASME Code, except that for Category D fluid seiwice at design temperatures not over 93°C (200°F). Such qualification is at the owners option. The clearance between surfaces to be joined by brazing or soldering shall be no larger than is necessary to allow complete capillary distribution of the filler metal. 

Brazing a process of joining metals in which, during or after heating, molten filler metal is drawn by capillary action into the space between closely adjacent surfaces of the parts to be joined. In general, the melting point of the filler metal is above 500°C, but always below the melting temperature of the parent metal. 

Brazing is the process of joining metals by flowing a thin, capillary thickness layer of nonferrous filler metal into the space between them. Bonding results from the intimate contact produced by the dissolution of a small amount of base metal in the molten filler metal, without fusion of the base metal. The term brazing is used where the temperature exceeds 425°C (800°F). 

Filler alloys used for soldering or brazing melt at a temperature lower than that of the metal or alloy soldered. A filler fills in gaps between areas of the parts to be joined and, as it cools down, solidifies and adheres to each part, providing a permanent and stable join between them. Two soldering... 

Brazing Materials. Limited to a melting temperature above 1,000°F (538°C). Filler wire shall be preplaced or hand (face) fed. The product form of paste (filler) shall not be permitted. (See para. GR-3.3.4 for brazing materials requirements.)... 

Temperature of Brazing Cycle and Flux. The brazing cycle temperature shall be limited to a maximum of 1,600°F (871 °C). The flux selection shall be active at 300°F (149°C) above the maximum filler metal liquidus. The temperatures shall be specified/qualified per BPS/PQR.
