Vianco, Paul T.; Walker, Charles A.; De Smet, Dennis J.; Kilgo, Alice C.; McKenzie, Bonnie B.; Grant, Richard P.

This Part 2 study examined the microstructural characteristics of braze joints made between two KOVar^TM base materials using the filler metals, Ag-xAl, having x = 0, 2, 5, and 10 wt.% Al additions. Brazing processes had temperatures of 965°C (1769°F) and 995°C and brazing times of 5 and 20 min. All brazing was performed under high vacuum.
