Written by an expert with over forty years of experience, this book covers the six rules of brazing and how they impact the various procedures that are an essential part of brazing technology. Exploring what is and what is not good brazing practice, the author presents readers with a reference that will help them deal with the problems they face in

In the past ten years, brazing technology has undergone sweeping changes. Yet because there are so few practitioners who understand the finer points of the technology, many of the companies that use brazing as their preferred metal-joining procedure are failing to use it to best effect. Fully updated to reflect the latest practices, this second edition of Industrial Brazing Practice helps you develop the most effective brazing procedure for your particular needs. It reveals the six simple rules of brazing and explains how they impact essential brazing procedures. These rules effectively form the bedrock of problem-solving procedures in this field. Written by an expert with more than 50 years of experience, the book combines fundamental principles with practical, hands-on advice. The author highlights the intrinsic versatility of the brazing process and covers a wide range of conditions and technical possibilities. He walks you through the nine stages of the process audit, from identifying service conditions, to selecting materials and design, to assessing process complexity. A chapter answers frequently asked questions such as "is it possible to braze ceramics" and "what is MIG brazing?" New in This Edition Information on new ISO specifications for brazing filler materials New alloy and flux codes New production developments in available fuel-gases for brazing, such as SafeFlame New sections on carbon potential of furnace atmosphere and quality control parameters for vacuum brazing New production methods in aluminum brazing Expanded coverage of interfacial corrosion in stainless steels More case studies This comprehensive book contains the information needed to enable you to develop best-practice solutions to the daily brazing problems you may encounter in the production shop. Packed with flowcharts, illustrations, and case studies, it is an invaluable reference for anyone involved in industrial brazing.

This text provides a comprehensive overview of the technology surrounding the brazing process to allow the inexperienced engineer, student or professional, to utilize fully this technology.

Introduction to Brazing Technology provides practical guidance for the industrial production of an effectively brazed joint. Written in plain language by an active technical consultant with more than 50 years of brazing experience, this clear and concise book:Explains the fundamental concepts of the brazing processCovers all the common heating meth

Soldering, Brazing & Welding is an ideal manual for anyone requiring comprehensive advice and instruction in these common forms of metalwork. Their applications are now increasingly widespread in the craft of metalwork, as well as more traditionally in light industry. Topics covered include procedure for making a soldering joint; selecting consumables and heat source for silver soldering; typical braze welding techniques and applications; oxy-acetylene equipment, setting up, and fusion welding; and MIG, TIG, and manual metal arc welding.

Annotation. This second edition of a text on brazing includes revised material on tooling, design, materials, atmospheres, processing, and equipment. Several new topics are covered, including nanostructures and materials, microwave and laser brazing, more effective use of vacuum atmospheres, functionally gradient materials, and intermetallics. There is also more coverage of beryllium alloys, aluminum-lithium alloys, new titanium alloys, ceramic-to-metal brazing, composites, and ceramic-to-ceramic brazing. Case histories and problem-solving examples are included. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
