<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form uniform joints having optimal dimensions, shape and strength. <P>SOLUTION: A process is disclosed for brazing plate/plate and plate/fin multi-channeled structures using an amorphous brazing foil as a brazing filler metal between the parts. The parts are assembled in an unconstrained stack, and a controlled load is applied to the top of the stack. The stack is then heated to a temperature at which the brazing foil melts and reacts with a base metal to form the joints. The stack is cooled resulting in a brazed structure having the desired characteristics, wherein the strength of the structure is equal to the underlying strength of the base metal. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
