Characterization and High Temperature Electrical Properties of Brazed Joints of La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 with Nickel and Nickel Alloys

This study investigates the high-temperature electrical properties and microstructural characteristics of brazed joints combining La₀.₈Sr₀.₂CrO₃ (LSC) with nickel and nickel-based alloys. Using nickel-based filler metals (NB LM and NB 130), the joints were tested in controlled atmospheres (95% N₂ and 5% H₂). Electrical resistivity was analyzed across a range of temperatures (25–727°C), and contact resistance was evaluated using a composite model. Results indicate that joint resistance decreases with increasing temperature, with optimal brazing achieved at 1160°C. Diffusion processes involving Si, Ni, O, and Sr were identified, with silicon oxide formation contributing to joint bonding.

Brazing method produces solid-solution bond between refractory metals

Brazing two refractory metals by diffusion bonding minimizes distortion and avoids excessive grain growth in the metals. This method requires the selection of an interface metal that forms intermediate low-melting eutectics or solid solutions with the metals to be brazed.

Tungsten wire and tubing joined by nickel brazing

Thin tungsten wire and tungsten tubing are brazed together using a contacting coil of nickel wire heated to its melting point in an inert-gas atmosphere. This method is also effective for brazing tungsten to tungsten-rhenium parts.

Improved tool easily removes brazed tube connectors

Portable, compact tool quickly and cleanly removes brazed connectors from system tubes. The tool uses an induction coil to melt the braze and a compression spring to automatically separate the connection. An inert gas is force-fed about the heated area to prevent oxidation of the tube.

Split glass tube assures quality in electron beam brazing

Sealed enclosure of heat-resistant glass tubing and silicone rubber molds provide good visibility for electron beam brazing of metal tubes in an inert gas atmosphere. The glass tubing and rubber molds, which are bonded together, are easily applied to and removed from the brazing area by operation of a clamp.

High-strength braze joints between copper and steel

High-strength braze joints between copper and steel are produced by plating the faying surface of the copper with a layer of gold. This reduces porosity in the braze area and strengthens the resultant joint.

Braze joint quality tested electromagnetically

Nondestructive electromagnetic method detects the extent of gold/nickel braze alloy flow in an engine injector sleeve-to-post joint. Voltage is induced in an inductor coil, along with a magnetically permeable material. The effects of altering the quantity of braze alloy present can then be measured.

Evaluation of methods for nondestructive testing of brazed joints

Evaluation of nondestructive methods of testing brazed joints reveals that ultrasonic testing is effective in the detection of nonbonds in diffusion bonded samples. Radiography provides excellent resolutions of void or inclusion defects, and the neutron radiographic technique shows particular advantage for brazing materials containing cadmium.

High-temperature nickel-brazing alloy

Gold-nickel brazing alloy, with 5 percent indium added to depress the melting point, is used for brazing of nickel-clad silver electrical conductors which operate at temperatures to 1200 deg F. Alloy has low resistivity, requires no flux, and is less corrosive than other gold-nickel, gold-copper alloys.
