TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Materials 3.1.1 Filler metal shall be aluminum brazing alloy conforming to AMS4184 or AMS4185. 3.1.2 Flux F
14、lux for torch brazing or circulating-air type furnace brazing shall conform to AMS3412. 3.2 Equipment and Personnel 3.2.1 Torch Method Torches, tips, regulators, and accessory equipment shall be appropriate for the thickness of the material being brazed. 3.2.2 Furnace Method Furnaces shall be circul
15、ating-air type, maintained within 10 Fahrenheit (6 Celsius) degrees of a selected temperature within the range 900 to 1200 F (482 to 649 C) by suitable controls. SAE AMS2672G Page 3 of 7 3.2.3 Personnel Those engaged in torch brazing shall be tested periodically for proficiency in accordance with AW
16、S B2.2 or other procedure acceptable to purchaser. 3.3 Preparation 3.3.1 Surface Condition The surfaces to be joined shall be clean prior to assembly. Cleaning should be by degreasing using a suitable solvent, alkaline cleaning, and deoxidizing followed by a cold and hot water rinse. 3.3.2 Fluxing F
17、lux shall be applied so that surfaces to be joined are sufficiently coated to ensure the specified bond between the parts after brazing; if preplaced filler metal inserts are used, they shall also be coated with flux. 3.3.3 Assembly The parts to be joined shall be assembled so that clearances betwee
18、n mating surfaces are within specified tolerances. The assembly shall be supported so that the parts will be in proper alignment throughout brazing. Except when parts are fabricated from clad brazing sheet, such as AMS4063, AMS4064, AMS4255, or AMS4256, the filler metal as in 3.1.1 shall be preposit
19、ioned or fed in at one end of the joint. For a blind joint, the filler metal shall be placed at the blind end when access permits. When specified, filler metal may be placed within the joint prior to assembly for brazing. When parts are made from clad sheet, the clad surface shall be in contact with
20、 the intended mating surface. 3.3.3.1 Tack welding for fixturing shall be used only when specified or permitted by purchaser. 3.3.3.2 On closed assemblies, vent holes shall be provided as specified. 3.3.3.3 When desirable, flow of filler metal may be restricted by employing a paste compound of sodiu
21、m fluoride and water. 3.4 Procedure 3.4.1 Joining Joining shall be effected by torch or furnace heating. Parts shall be heated rapidly until the filler metal melts and joints are formed. The temperature to which parts are heated for brazing shall be controlled so that incipient melting of the parts
22、does not occur. 3.4.1.1 Torch Method Parts shall be heated locally in the joint area using a reducing flame, taking care not to overheat the parent metal. Sufficient filler metal shall be introduced to the joint. Parts shall be held at heat until clean filler metal is visible at the end of the joint
23、 opposite that at which the filler metal was introduced, when joint configuration permits visual examination during brazing. 3.4.1.2 Furnace Method Preheating to approximately 400 F (204 C) is recommended to remove any water from the flux or parts. The brazing time and temperature shall be such that
24、 clean filler metal is visible at the end of the joint opposite that at which the filler metal was introduced, when joint configuration permits such visual examination. The time and temperature necessary to obtain acceptable joints should be established through the use of a pilot assembly. SAE AMS26
25、72G Page 4 of 7 3.4.2 Cooling After brazing, assemblies shall be cooled in a manner which prevents cracks and minimizes internal stress, distortion, and oxidation. If solution heat treatment is to be done in conjunction with brazing, cooling procedures may be revised accordingly. 3.5 Flux Removal Af
26、ter brazing and cooling, flux shall be removed by a method which is not injurious to the surface finish and which will not remove basis material below drawing tolerances. The test in 3.6.5 shall be used to determine the adequacy of flux removal. 3.6 Properties Brazed parts and assemblies shall confo
27、rm to the following requirements: 3.6.1 Appearance Examination of visible joint edges shall show a complete line or ring of filler metal between component parts. 3.6.1.1 The total accumulated length of any pinholes, voids (within line of braze), or filler metal skips (no presence of braze) extending
28、 into the joint shall not exceed 10% of the total length of the fillet. Individual pinholes, voids, or filler metal skips shall not exceed 3/32 inch (2.4 mm). 3.6.1.2 Cracks in filler metal or adjacent parent metal are not acceptable. 3.6.1.3 Overheating, resulting in blisters on the base metal or e
29、utectic melting is not acceptable. 3.6.1.4 Residual flux is not permissible on surfaces of the part. 3.6.2 Coverage Unless otherwise specified, the area joined by the filler metal shall be not less than 80% of the area of the mating portions of the assembly, determined by a method agreed upon by pur
30、chaser and processor. 3.6.3 Proof Pressure Test When specified, any part from a lot shall pass a proof test. Standards for acceptance and method of test shall be as specified by purchaser. 3.6.4 Melting or erosion shall not cause thinning of the parent metal surface adjacent to the brazed joint in e
31、xcess of 5% of parent metal thickness and 15% cumulative of the braze length. 3.6.5 Halide Test Testing shall be conducted to ensure that residual flux has been removed. If the test indicates presence of flux residue, the parts shall be subjected to additional cleaning and testing until removal is c
32、omplete. In case of dispute, the procedures of 3.6.5.1 and/or 3.6.5.2 shall be used. 3.6.5.1 Chlorides Rinse the test area with 40 to 50 mL of hot approximately 180 F (82 C) ASTM D 1193, Type IV, water. Collect rinse water in a 100 mL beaker and add 3 to 5 drops of concentrated nitric acid (specific
33、 gravity 1.42) and 2 to 3 mL of 10% silver nitrate solution. Stir the contents of the beaker and allow to stand 5 to 10 minutes. A solution as clear as a blank of ASTM D 1193, Type IV, water treated in the same manner as the rinsings indicates the absence of chlorides. A white-to-gray precipitate or
34、 turbidity indicates the presence of residual flux. SAE AMS2672G Page 5 of 7 3.6.5.2 Fluorides Rinse the test area with approximately 200 mL of hot approximately 180 F (82 C) ASTM D 1193, Type IV, water. Collect the rinse water in a 200 mL beaker. Using two 100 mL Nessler, or equivalent, color compa
35、rison tubes, pour 100 mL of rinsings into one tube and 100 mL of ASTM D 1193, Type IV, water, into the other as a blank. Treat the water in the two tubes in accordance with ASTM D 1179, Method B, or use an equivalent colorimetric method. Allow the color to develop. A color in the rinse water deeper
36、than that of the blank indicates the presence of residual flux. 3.7 Quality Brazed joints shall be sound, clean, and free from foreign materials and from imperfections detrimental to performance of the brazed joints. Filler metal in excess of that required for the joint is acceptable provided it doe
37、s not interfere with form, fit, or function of the completed assembly. 3.7.1 The presence of unmelted filler metal in a joint is not acceptable. 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The processor of brazed parts shall supply all samples for processors tests and shall be
38、responsible for the performance of all required tests. Parts, if required for tests, shall be supplied by purchaser. Unless otherwise specified, the processor may use his own or any other inspection facilities and services acceptable to purchaser. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perfor
39、m any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that the processing conforms to the requirements of this specification. 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance Tests Flux removal (3.5), appearance (3.6.1) coverage (3.6.2) and quality (3.7) are acceptance tests and shall be performed on br
40、azed parts or assemblies sampled from each lot. See 4.3.1. 4.2.2 Periodic Tests Proof pressure testing when specified (3.6.3), destructive coverage testing when agreed upon by purchaser and processor when there exists a lot size of 40 or less (3.6.2), and melting or erosion (3.6.4) are periodic test
41、s and shall be performed at a frequency selected by the processor unless otherwise specified. 4.2.3 Preproduction Tests All property verification tests (3.6) are preproduction tests and shall be performed prior to or on the initial shipment of brazed parts to a purchaser and when purchaser deems con
42、firmatory testing to be required. 4.3 Sampling for acceptance testing shall be as shown in Table 1. A lot shall be all parts of the same part number brazed in a continuous operation and presented for processors inspection at one time. 4.3.1 Acceptance Tests Test samples shall be randomly selected fr
43、om all parts or assemblies in the lot. Unless the cognizant engineering organization provides a sampling plan, the minimum number of samples shall be as shown in Table 1.
