Course Goals / Objectives:
Describe the basic principles of brazing and soldering processes, and of microstructure, properties, quality, and reliability of brazed and soldered joints. Provide specific knowledge about brazing and soldering of metals, ceramics, and composites
Provide basic understanding of surface energy, wetting, and capillary flow in brazing and soldering. Interaction of solid and liquid metals, solidification, diffusion, phase transformations. Formation of oxides, carbides, nitrides and intermetalics
Provide basic knowledge about the brazing and soldering filler metals and fluxes, their composition, properties, application, compatibility to base metals, selection, and classification
Describe the basic principles and considerations in the design and strength of brazed and soldered joints, including joint geometry and gaps, strenght calculation, thermal expansion mismatch, stress concentration, testing, and quality control
Provide basic knowledge about the inspection and quality control of brazed and soldered joints, and about the safety considerations in brazing and soldering
