Principles of Brazing is a valuable resource for those working with the brazing process or designing component joints. This book will help solve practical engineering challenges, by building on fundamental metallurgy. Precisely written, and well referenced, containing 200 figures and 56 tables, this book compares joining methods, explains the fundamental parameters of brazes, and surveys the metallurgy of braze alloy systems. The joining atmosphere, fluxes and fluxless brazing are investigated. The constraints that component metal and non-metal materials place on the brazing process are examined. A chapter is devoted to the direct brazing of non-metals. Jewelers will find the chapter on filler metals for gold and silver of interest. The authors received valuable feedback from readers of their first book, Principles of Soldering and Brazing. Jacobson (manufacturing technology, Buckinghamshire Chilterns U. College) and metallurgist Humpstead have updated their 1993 Principles of Soldering and Brazing with two volumes, each devoted to one of the two very similar metal joining technologies, the rationale being that engineers tend to deal with one or the other, but rarely both at the same time. They primarily aim to provide practical information for practitioners, but also offer a scientific perspective. Two areas that have benefited from significant research in the past decade, active brazing and diffusion brazing, they have been directly involved with, and so describe in considerable detail.
