A BRAZING PIECE, A METHOD OF MAKING A BRAZING PIECE, AND A METHOD OF BRAZING AND COMPONENTS MADE FROM SAID BRAZING PIECE

摘要

The invention relates to a self-fluxing brazing piece. The piece comprises a composite material comprising at least one inorganic material distributed in a metal or metal alloy matrix, the inorganic material forming a flux during brazing to promote the formation of a thermally induced metallic bond. The matrix may be an aluminium silicon brazing alloy and the inorganic material may be a potassium-fluoro-aluminate flux. The piece is made by spray forming.
