ABSTRACT:
An automated method of brazing to join two metal parts together at a joint with a braze alloy. The two parts are moved to a brazing station and maintained in a fixed position. The two metal parts are heated at the joint at a high heat rate to a predetermined temperature which exceeds the temperature that would melt the braze alloy and less than a temperature that would cause degradation of the metal parts. The temperature of the metal parts in close proximity to the joint is detected and when the first predetermined temperature is reached, the heating rate is reduced to a lower heat rate sufficient to keep the braze alloy in a liquidous state. The braze alloy is introduced to the joint between the two metal parts while they are being heated at the lower heat rate to join the two parts together and then the joined two metal parts are removed from the brazing station.
