ABSTRACT:
A novel method is described for joining aluminum to metal surfaces by brazing. The method comprises (a) applying as a coating to at least one of the metal surfaces to be joined a mixture of a metal (e.g. Si, Cu or Ge) and a brazing flux, the metal of the mixture being adapted to form a brazable eutectic with one or both of the surface metals, (b) heating the surfaces and the coating in juxtaposed relation to a temperature above the brazing alloy melting point to thereby dissolve oxide film on the surfaces to be joined, cause the metal of the coating to dissolve into the oxide-free aluminum surface and form therewith a brazing alloy layer and form a brazed assembly and (c) cooling the brazed assembly to form a solidified joint between the surfaces. This has the advantage of providing for the joining of metal surfaces, such as aluminum, to aluminium, cooper, brass or steel surfaces, by brazing without the prior formation of a brazing alloy cladding on the surfaces to be brazed.
