Análise comparativa dos processos de brasagem por indução e brasagem manual via ensaios mecânicos

Abstract

Technological development and market competitiveness have forced industries to renew their products and minimize their costs. To this end, it was thought to develop an automated brazing process for aluminum tubes previously produced by hand. Brazing is the joining of the parts (of the same alloy or dissimilar materials) without the parts to be joined to melt and where only the addition metal will melt and go through the gap between the pieces by wetting, after filling the region occurs to the molecular diffusion with the base material, this action provides in the cooling an intermetallic union. This work aims to perform an analysis through mechanical tests to compare aspects of the results of samples submitted in the two brazing processes to show the feasibility of including brazing process by induction.
