Abstract

980,395. Brazing. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Jan. 2, 1964 [Jan. 4, 1963], No. 484/63. Heading B3R. [Also in Division G6] The stainless steel can of a nuclear fue<SP>1</SP> element (see Division G6) has a helically wound stainless steel wire brazed to it. In a first method, the stainless steel wire is coated with braze metal. The coating may be a 92% nickel, 8% phosphorous alloy deposited by a process known under its trade name as the Kanigen process; alternatively, the wire may be painted with a powdered slurry of nickelbased alloy. In second method (Fig. 4, not shown), one or two wires of braze metal are co-wound with the stainless steel wire, the braze metal being a silver-copper-palladium alloy. In a third method (Figs. 6, 7, not shown), after the stainless steel wire has been wound, a tape of braze material is placed over the stainless steel wire so as to cross each turn; the tape is formed by rolling a plastics bonded powdered nickel base alloy wire. Alternatively, the tape may be a powder suspension which is squeezed from a dispenser to deposit it on the wire/tube assembly. In all cases, the joint is formed by heating in a vacuum.
