Abstract
A process and an apparatus for applying a brazing material to a metallic structure, especially a honeycomb body, include bringing the metallic structure into contact with a pulverulent brazing material in such a way that the brazing material at least partially adheres to the metallic structure. The metallic structure and/or the brazing material are made to vibrate, at least when they are in contact.
Claims21
A process for applying brazing material to a metallic structure, which comprises:
- bringing the metallic structure into contact with a pulverulent brazing material causing the brazing material to at least partially adhere to the metallic structure;
- and
- vibrating at least one of the metallic structure and the brazing material at least while the metallic structure and the brazing material are in contact.
A process for applying brazing material to a honeycomb body, which comprises:
- bringing the honeycomb body into contact with a pulverulent brazing material causing the brazing material to at least partially adhere to the honeycomb body;
- and
- vibrating at least one of the honeycomb body and the brazing material at least while the honeycomb body and the brazing material are in contact.
An apparatus for applying a pulverulent brazing material to a metallic structure, comprising:
- a vessel for holding the pulverulent brazing material;
- a manipulator arm for holding the metallic structure;
- and
- a device for generating vibration in at least one of the metallic structure and the pulverulent brazing material.
