Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for improved brazing. A system includes a gap filling compound (GFC). The GFC includes a brazing alloy. The system also includes a GFC retention screen. The GFC retention screen configured to be disposed over the GFC to retain the GFC within the gap during brazing. The GFC retention screen is also configured to enable gas to escape from the GFC during brazing.
Claims13
A system comprising:
- a substrate;
- a gap filling compound (GFC) comprising a brazing alloy having a plurality of particles, wherein the GFC is disposed inside a gap of the substrate;
- and
- a GFC retention screen having a plurality of openings sized smaller than a size of the particles and disposed over the GFC and the substrate, the plurality of openings sized to substantially retain the GFC within the gap during brazing, and the GFC retention screen is configured to enable gas to escape from the GFC during brazing and to substantially block a flow of the GFC.
1 more element
The system of 1, wherein the GFC retention screen is sized at least approximately 5% wider than the width of the gap.
A system comprising:
- a gap filling compound (GFC) comprising a brazing alloy having a plurality of particles, wherein the GFC is configured to be disposed inside a gap of a substrate;
- and
- a GFC retention screen having a plurality of openings sized smaller than a size of the particles and configured to be disposed over the GFC to retain the GFC within the gap during brazing, and the GFC retention screen is configured to enable gas to escape from the GFC during brazing and to substantially block a flow of the GFC.
