Wetting of molybdenum by commercial brazing filler alloys

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5702033

Wettability tests have been conducted for each candidate filler alloy at several temperatures. A wetting index, which is a function of contact angle and braze alloy contact area, was determined for each filler alloy at each brazing temperature. The nature and extent of interaction between the brazing alloys and the molybdenum was also investigated. The microstructures of the braze alloys and the base metal were examined with optical metallography, scanning-electron microscopy, and electron microprobe techniques. Results of the present study are compared with results of a previous wettability study on type 304 stainless steel.
