This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
20、 text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2005. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: A

EN 14324:2004 (E) 5 Introduct
22、ion The purpose of this document is to provide information and guidance to users whose knowledge of brazing is limited, either as regards the whole process or in some specific areas. It is not intended to replace textbooks but to make readily available certain important information and hopefully pre
23、vent some common errors. Brazing techniques offer a wide field for joining, cladding, building up and comparable applications where brazing filler materials can be used. Structures similar to brazed joints can be achieved by arc brazing processes (MIG, TIG, plasma), infra-red brazing and electron be
24、am brazing, which are better described as braze welding. Where the word material is used for components, they can be metallic or non-metallic, except when the component can only be metallic, when it is so described. The same usage applies to filler materials, although the use of non-metallic filler
25、materials is very limited. EN 14324:2004 (E) 6 1 Scope This document gives guidance on the application of brazing and the manufacture of brazed joints. This standard gives an introduction to brazing and a basis for the understanding and use of brazing in different applications. Because of the wide r
26、ange of applications of brazing this standard does not give detailed guidance that might be product specific. For such information reference should be made to the appropriate product standard or, for applications where this does not exist, the relevant criteria should be clearly established before a
27、ny brazing is undertaken. This standard covers joint design and assembly, material aspects for both parent material and filler materials, brazing process and process variables, pre- and post-braze treatment and inspection. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable f

30、tions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 brazing joining process in which a filler material is used which has a liquidus temperatur above 450 C, but below the solidus of the parent material, and which is mainly distributed in the brazing gap by capillar
31、y attraction NOTE Other joining methods exist (see E.6.3). 3.2 brazed joint result of a joining process where the parent materials are not melted and the filling material and braze material have different chemical compositions compared to the parent materials 3.3 brazing gap narrow, mainly parallel

34、olten brazing filler material between parts separated by a narrow gap. The filler material has a different composition from the components to be brazed. This compositional difference may affect the properties of the assembly in service, e.g. at elevated temperature, in corrosive media or under fatig
35、ue loading. In addition the properties of the parent material of the components to be brazed can be affected by the brazing cycle. 4.2 Types of joint There are basically two types of joint as shown in Figure 2. In practice very few assemblies are as simple as the basic types shown in Figure 2 (see a
36、nnex A). a) Lap b) Butt Figure 2 Basic joint types Lap joints are generally used because they are easier to fabricate and offer increased strength. Butt joints are used where adequate strength is readily obtained, e.g. where the mechanical properties of the parent materials are lower than those of t
37、he brazed joint, or where the thickness and/or length of a lap joint is undesirable. It should be noted that the useful overlap for a lap joint in shear is related to the thickness of the thinner component; beyond the optimum overlap there is little to be gained in joint strength by increasing the o
38、verlap length. EN 14324:2004 (E) 9 4.3 Assembly gap and brazing gap 4.3.1 General The areas of a brazed assembly are defined as shown schematically in Figure 3. Perhaps the most critical feature in brazing is the control of the brazing gap, i.e. the gap at the brazing temperature, between the compon
39、ents to be brazed and through which the filler material has to flow by capillary action. There are several factors that influence the choice of the brazing gap and which have to be taken into consideration. It is essential to recognise that where joints are to be made between different parent materi
40、als, the assembly gap (fit up) will usually have to be different from the brazing gap (see 4.3.4). NOTE The assembly gap may need to be larger or smaller than the brazing gap, depending on the thermal expansion coefficients of the materials, the configuration and the brazing process. Different fille
41、r materials require different gaps even within the same group, as can be seen from the typical ranges given in Table 1, but the optimum gap may also be affected by a number of other joint parameters (see example in Figure 4), e.g.: parent material(s); geometry of the joint; surface finish of the fay
42、ing surfaces; use of a flux or protective atmosphere; careful control of brazing temperature and heating rate; brazing process.
