  • Method for soldering components
    Patent number: 8196804
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for soldering components, in particular heat exchanger, in particular made of aluminum materials, aluminum alloys or wrought alloys, in a soldering furnace, in particular a continuous soldering furnace or a batch-type soldering furnace, which comprises a muffle, which is flushed with protective gas in order to create a protective atmosphere. In order to make the production of soldered components easier, during the soldering of the components the muffle is supplied with such a greatly increased amount of gas, in particular protective gas or reaction gas, that a low-oxygen protective atmosphere is created.
