BRAZING OF REACTOR COMPONENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4729132
Brazing is presented as a useful technique for reactor joining applications. A definition of the brazing process and a short discussion of the characteristics of an ideal brazing alloy are given. The ailoys discussed include Nibase high-strength, high-temperature alloys which offer excellent corrosion resistance in high-temperature water, but which possess low ductility and have a tendency to dissolve the base metal; Ag-base moderate-strength alloys, possessing poor corrosion resistance in hightemperature water, but which are ductile and flow readily; and Pd-base alloys which comt;ne the strengih and corrosion resistance of the Ni-base alloys with the ductility and non-erosive characteristics of the Ag base group.
