  • Closed socket brazed joint assembly
    Patent number: 12251769
    Abstract: A closed socket brazed joint assembly includes a first member, a second member with a first end having first and second faying surfaces, a socket in the first member that receives the second member with a faying surface with at least two portions separated by a first fillet. Before application of energy to the joint, there is a gap between the faying surfaces of the first and second members. A slug of brazing fill material is between the first end of the second member and at least one faying surface of the socket. Upon application of energy, the brazing fill material melts and flows from between first end of the second member and the at least one faying surface of the socket to fill the gap between the faying surfaces of the first and second members.
