Components in aircraft engines and gas turbines are exposed to extreme conditions in order to increase performance and efficiency of the overall engine, hence there is an increasing need for cost-effective and time-efficient ...

Objective of the project presented is the development of a joining process for hot working steel components at low brazing temperatures leading to a bond with a much higher remelting temperature. This basically is achieved ...

Brazing of stainless steels is commonly carried out using nickel-based brazing fillers, which provide a high corrosion and oxidation resistance of the resulting joints. These brazed stainless steel joints are mostly used ...

Besides welding, high temperature vacuum repair-brazing is already established for nickel-based alloy turbine blades in the aerospace and power plant industries. After the worn turbine blade has been decoated to its substrate ...
