C.) rapidly solidified brazing alloy consists essentially of about 14 to 52 weight percent germanium, 0 to 10 weight percent of at least one element selected from the group consisting of silicon, magnesium, bismuth, strontium, lithium, copper, calcium, zinc and tin, the balance being aluminum and incidental impurities. The alloy has the form of a foil and can be used to braze non-heat-treatable rapidly solidified Al-Fe-Si-V alloy foil, sheet plate and tubing to components such as deicing duct, overduct, radiator, heat exchanger, evaporator, honeycomb panel for elevated temperature applications.

Abstract: Improvement of Nb-alloys, which are known as heat-resistant alloys, by giving anti-oxidation property thereto and increasing the high temperature strength thereof. In addition to a determined amount of Al, one of (1) suitable amounts of Ti, Cr and V, and (2) suitable amounts of Cr and Co, are added to Nb-matrix, and a high melting temperature metal oxide such as Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is dispersed in the matrix. Preferable method of preparing the alloys is combination of mechanical alloying and subsequent hot processing.
