Abstract
Copper alloy carrier objects are brazed to silver or copper alloy contact objects by assembling or positioning the carrier object into direct contact with said contact object such that there is defined or presented an exposed position or junction where said carrier object and said contact object come into direct contact, then placing at said position or junction a quantity, such as a pellet or piece, of a brazing alloy and subjecting the resulting assembly to furnace brazing at an elevated temperature for a sufficient period of time in a non-reactive gaseous atmosphere to cause said brazing alloy to melt and to join and braze together said carrier object and said contact object.
Claims15
A method of joining by brazing a copper alloy carrier object and an alloy contact object, said alloy of said contact object being a silver cadmium oxide alloy having a cadmium oxide content in the range from about 5% to about 15% by weight, which comprises placing said copper alloy carrier object and said alloy contact object into direct contact such that there is defined an exposed position of junction where said carrier object and said contact object come into direct contact, placing at said position or junction a quantity of brazing alloy, said brazing alloy being slected from the brazing alloys having the composition about 56% by weight silver, about 22% by weight copper, about 17% by weight zinc and about 5% by weight tin or about 65% by weight silver, 20% by weight copper and 15% by weight zinc, maintaining said brazing alloy at said position or junction relative to said carrier object and said contact object while subjecting the resulting assembly to furnace brazing at a temperature in the range from about 1200.degree. to about 1600.degree.F. for a period of time in a non-reactive gaseous atmosphere to cause said quantity of brazing alloy to melt and to join and braze together said carrier object and said contact object.
