Session 15: Joint Reliability
Location: Executive Salon 4 (Crowne Plaza Riverwalk San Antonio)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: The focus of this session is the impact of brazing design and process parameters on mechanical properties and operational reliability of both brazed joints and complex brazed articles such as large-plate steel heat exchangers, welding transformers, circular saws, etc. New technologies directed at the manufacture of reliable brazed products will be discussed. A new method of diffusion bonding titanium to aluminum without formation of brittle intermetallics, new sandwich brazing alloy to provide thermal stress reduction, and new iron-based filler metal for brazing stainless steel will also be covered. A special presentation relates to an extremely important problem: how to build relationships with your vendors in order to provide routine reliability of in-house brazing operations.
