ABSTRACT

It is important for readers to understand that brazing is a very easy way of joining metals to each other. Further, and by the use of a range of specialised filler materials known as active brazing materials and brazing under a vacuum, that one can also produce excellent brazed ceramic-to-metal joints, and also ceramic-to-ceramic joints! The immediate question that arises in the mind of newcomers to the use of brazing is invariably, “If it is easy why do I find it, at best, troublesome?” Fortunately the answer to this question, like the production of a perfectly made joint, is also easy: all that one has to do is follow the rules, and this book is devoted to the task of telling its readers what these rules are and why. In order to achieve the first-class result that you are seeking, it is necessary to follow them to the letter.
