Search Results for active metal brazing

Active metal brazing played a key role in the development and fabrication of a modified beam target for particle-physics experiments conducted by Fermilab. The new target consists of a titanium tube filled with stacked graphite fins that were bonded in place by means of active metal brazing. This article describes the vacuum process and the methods used to evaluate the brazed titanium-graphite joints.

Nanobrazing is an innovative brazing technique that uses nanomaterials as the filler materials. Incorporating nanobrazing into conventional technologies such as vacuum and laser brazing creates a new frontier for repairing turbine blades and vanes. Due to the unique “nanopowdering” of filler materials, the metallurgical mechanisms and thermodynamics of nanobrazing show promise for innovative applications.

Successful part brazing relies on proper joint design, part cleanliness, and correct fixturing of part assemblies. Routine furnace maintenance allows repeatable, quality brazing results over time. This article describes aluminum brazing processes and process control considerations.

A novel brazing approach for joining SiC-based fuel cladding is a promising technology for enhanced accident-tolerant nuclear fuels.

Recent advances in high velocity oxygen fuel torches in the form of miniaturization, joining, automation, and digitization are increasing the application opportunities for this thermal spray coating technology.

This article discusses the implementation of a stationary induction hardening process for crankshafts and camshafts and the measures taken to maximize production rates while controlling part distortion.

Advancements in nanoscience are making it possible to metallically glue two solids together at room temperature, in air, and under a small amount of mechanical pressure. Metallic glues can serve as excellent conductors for heat dissipation and electrical current in electronic devices and also as leak-resistant seals for vacuum environments.

Induction Heating and Heat Treatment, Volume 4C of the ASM Handbook, was developed to serve as a comprehensive resource on induction thermal processes to meet the needs of the induction heating and heat treating communities. This article reviews the topic coverage of the volume.

Use of radiography to inspect insulated generator components without the need to strip insulation offers advantages over other inspection methods to assess serviceability and need for repair. This article outlines some of the considerations involved in using nondestructive radiography techniques to assess component integrity.
