Method for eliminating runout of braze filler metal during active brazing

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1892589
Nanometers thick conformal coatings deposited by atomic-layer deposition (ALD) onto the metal surface of an active braze joint modifies the surface chemistry to eliminate excess braze filler metal flow. Unlike other means used to prevent braze filler metal runout, the thin ALD coating does not hinder next assembly processes, does not require post-braze cleaning, and does not alter the base material mechanical properties.
