  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING BRAISED PARTS
    Publication number: 20080237311
    Abstract: The invention relates to a plant and a method for the production of soldered components, in particular of heat exchangers, from light metal, in particular from aluminum materials, under protective gas, with a continuous soldering furnace or a chamber soldering furnace, which is designed as a muffle which is formed from a muffle material. In order to simplify and to improve the production of soldered components, the muffle is formed at least partially from a special muffle material which reacts with oxygen or with oxygen-containing compounds or binds oxygen or oxygen-containing compounds, in order to solder components consisting of light metal, in particular of aluminum materials, in a materially integral manner without the use of fluxes or with markedly reduced flux quantities.
