    Study Notes

    Brazing and Soldering

    • Also known as Vapor-phase reflow soldering
    • Can be used to cure epoxies and stress relieve metals

    Dip Soldering

    • Process can be performed quickly and economically
    • Reduced problems associated with HAZ, warping and distortions

    Brazing

    • Permanent joining of similar or dissimilar metals or ceramics
    • Heat + Filler metal (melting temperature above 450⁰C)
    • Brazing alloy composition is significantly different from that of the base metal
    • Brazing alloy strength is usually lower than that of the base metal
    • Brazing alloy melting point is lower than that of the base metal
    • Bonding is achieved through capillary action

    Advantages of Brazing

    • Wide range of metallic and nonmetallic materials can be brazed
    • Process can be performed quickly and economically
    • Reduced problems associated with HAZ, warping and distortions
    • Salt bath acts as brazing flux
    • Workpiece/materials to be joined heats rapidly
    • Temperature can be accurately controlled

    Heating Methods used in Brazing

    • Dip brazing: assemblies are immersed in a bath of molten metal
    • Induction brazing: utilizes high frequency induction currents as the source of heat
    • Resistance brazing: used to produce relatively simple joints in metals with high electrical conductivity
    • Furnace brazing: flux and filler metal are preloaded into the joints
    • Torch brazing: uses oxyacetylene, oxy-hydrogen or other gas flame combinations as heat source
    • Salt-bath brazing: parts are preheated and then dipped in a bath of molten salt

    Filler Metals

    • Copper and copper alloys: most commonly used braze metal
    • Pure silver: for brazing titanium
    • Silver solders: used to join steels, copper, brass and nickel
    • Aluminum-silicon alloy: for brazing aluminum and other aluminum alloys
    • Nickel-and-cobalt-base alloys: for joining assemblies that will be subjected to elevated temperatures

    Joint Design and Clearance

    • Joint clearance is critical for strong brazed joints
    • Initial joint clearance should be adjusted for the different thermal expansions when brazing dissimilar metals
    • Proper brazing clearances should exist at the temperature where the filler metal flows

    Strength of Joints

    • Depends on joint clearance, temperature of the brazing process, and wettability
    • Joint strength is a strong function of the surface tensions between the braze metal and the base alloy

    Soldering

    • Filler metal has a melting point below 450⁰C
    • Used for joining thin metals, connecting electronic components, and filling surface flaws and defects
    • Important steps in soldering: design an acceptable joint, selection of the correct solder and flux, cleaning of the surfaces to be joined, and removal of the flux residue

    Solder Joints and Compatibility

    • Various types of solder joints, including wave soldering and vapor-phase soldering
    • Compatibility of soldering materials is crucial for successful joints
