Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This specification covers the requirements and procedures for
the brazing of parts in a very low pressure gas which referred to
as "vacuum" herein.
Application
This process provides general requirements and practices for
vacuum brazing carbon and alloy steels, corrosion resistant steels,
precipitation hardening alloys, nickel and cobalt-based alloys,
aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys, but usage is not limited to
such applications. For specific brazing requirements for the
materials to be brazed, the applicable AMS, AWS, or other
engineering specification should be referenced.
When there is a conflict between the requirements of this braze
specification and the applicable specific brazing specification,
requirements of the specific brazing specification shall take
precedence.
Safety - Hazardous Materials
While the materials, methods, applications, and processes
described or referenced in this specification may involve the use
of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the
hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the responsibility
of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of
any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary
measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel
involved.
