BRAZING INVESTIGATION OF SEVERAL CANDIDATE MA TERIALS FOR THRUST CHAMBER AND HEAT EXCHANGER APPLICATIONS
Abstract
Brazing studies were conducted on candidate alloys for thrust chamber and heat exchanger applications. These studies were designed to improve the technique for structurally joining Rene' 41 to itself and other alloys and to develop procedures for brazing aluminum and titanium alloys. Rene' 41, L-605, and 6061 aluminum alloy sheet materials were evaluated in material thickness of 0.010 inch, and AllOAT titanium in material thickness of 0.031 inch. Titanium (3A1-2.5V) in thicknesses (tube) of 0.002-inch wall, Type 321 stainless steel 0.0025-inch wall tubes, and 0.010/0.020-inch Rene' 41 sheet were evaluated on a preliminary basis only, utilizing the induction brazing process. Vacuum furnace brazing was utilized for joining Rene' 41, L-605, 6061 alumi num, and AllOAT titanium materials. Induction brazing (inert gas atmosphere) was utilized for joining 6061 aluminum, AllOAT titanium, 3Al-2.5V titanium, 321 stainless steel, and Rene' 41 materials.
