ABSTRACT

Experience shows beyond any shadow of doubt that about 90% of all manufacturing problems that manifest themselves at any of the stages of a brazing process almost always have roots that extend back to the design stage of the joint that is required to be made. When the problem is analysed by a specialist, it is almost always found that the designer of the joint in question did not appreciate that a whole number of inter-related factors must be taken into account when designing a joint that is to be made by brazing.
