Weldbraze Airframe Components.
Abstract
The objective of this program was to develop materials and processes necessary to establish weldbrazing as a useful manufacturing technique that satisfies the structural property requirements for advanced aerospace applications. Several surface preparation methods were evaluated. Spot weld schedules were established for two, three, and four-layer joints; and for three sheet thickness combinations. Methods were developed for determining the proper quantity of filler metal to be placed at the joint edge prior to brazing and for holding the filler metal in place when weldbrazing in the vertical position. Lap-joint properties were determined for Ti-6Al-4V with aluminum filler metals 1100, 3003, 4043, 5052, 201, 718, AVCO 48, and Al-32Cu-5Ag.
