Abstract: In joining an Fe-based metallic member comprising an Fe-based material and an Al-based metallic member comprising an Al-based material by a Zn-based filler metal, a joined part of the Fe-based metallic member is heated at a temperature higher than a melting point of the Fe-based material.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a silver braze alloy having improved wetting properties. The silver braze alloy consists essentially of from about 52.25 wt % to about 57.0 wt % silver, from about 38.95 to about 43.0 wt % copper, from about 0.5 wt % to about 5.5 wt %, preferably from about 1.0 wt % to about 5.5 wt %, manganese, and up to about 2.5 wt %, preferably from about 1.5 wt % to about 2.5 wt %, nickel. The alloy further may contain 0.15 wt % total of other trace elements.

Abstract: The present invention is a water-based binder used when manufacturing aluminum brazed products such as engine radiators, condensers for car air conditioners, and the like. The water-based binder is obtained by saponifying an ester methacrylate polymer that has an acid value and a glass transition temperature within specified ranges. In the presence of an alcohol that is water soluble and volatile and has a flash point higher than a specified temperature, the brazing composition, in which this binder and flux and the like are mixed, does not have the risk of catching on fire or exploding and also has excellent wettability and can be uniformly coated onto an aluminum material.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of joining silicon nitride having on its surface a thin layer of active silicon metal to carbon steel, wherein the active silicon layer is formed through the thermal dissociation of silicon nitride(Si3N4) into silicon(Si) and nitrogen gas(N2). The active silicon layer is directly joined to carbon steel via an induced eutectic melting reaction between the silicon (Si) an iron (Fe) of carbon steel, or via brazing of two materials Ag—Cu alloys. This joining process does not require the use of expensive Ag—Cu—Ti active brazing alloys containing an active metal (Ti) or a sputtering method designed to coat the active metals on surface of silicon nitride.
