ABSTRACT:
A braze material and processes for making and using the material, such as for use in the manufacturing, coating, repair, and build-up of superalloy components. The braze material is composed of particles with melt-modifying constituents that are limited to the surfaces of the particles, yet are capable of sufficiently promoting the heating of the particles by conventional means and microwave radiation to achieve at least partial melting of the particles. The melt-modifying constituents are in the form of particulates embedded in the outer surface region of each particle. The particulates are formed of melting point depressant(s) and/or microwave coupling enhancer(s), are much smaller than the particle in which they are embedded.
