BRAZED JOINTS AND METHODS OF FORMING BRAZED JOINTS

摘要

A method for forming a brazed joint (12) between a first part (16) having a first surface (18) and a second part (20) having a second surface (22) comprises applying at least two beads of braze filler (75) at either of the first surface and the second surface, and assembling the first surface and the second surface to define a shiplap interface (14) therebetween. The shiplap interface terminates a first terminus (46) and a second terminus (48), and includes a first cavity (54) and a second cavity (56). One of the beads of braze filler may be localized at the first cavity and the other may be localized at the second cavity. The method further comprises melting each of the beads of braze filler to a braze liquid, and allowing the braze liquid to flow through the shiplap interface from the first cavity towards the first terminus, and from the second cavity towards the second terminus.
