AWS SHB: Soldering Handbook (3rd Edition)
| Size: 12.23 MB| Format:PDF| Quality:Scanner| Publisher: American Welding Society, Inc. (AWS) | Year: 3rd Edition, 2000| pages: 178
AWS SHB, 3rd Edition, 2000 - Soldering Handbook
Preface
The perception of soldering as a mature technology has been replaced over the past several years with an increased appreciation for the science and engineering principles that underlie the successful implementation of this joining technique. Recent efforts to understand soldering technology have come about largely on the heels of the electronics revolution, since soldering remains as the primary assembly technique for electronic component packaging and printed circuit board products. However, the narrow spotlight on electronics applications has expanded as technologists consider soldering processes for a wider range of structural applications.
At present, several excellent textbooks are available on the topic of soldering. However, those references have targeted primarily electronics applications. It became apparent to the American Welding Society and, in particular, the AWS C3 Committee on Brazing and Soldering, that there is a growing need for a more generalized resource on soldering technology. It was also recognized that such a text should be written so as to be readily understood by individuals having a wide range of backgrounds; from the field assemblers and furnace operators to the engineering staff and technical managers. The opportunity to create such a text coincided with plans to revise the AWS Soldering Manual. The result of this effort is the Soldering Handbook.
The Soldering Handbook is constructed with the following eight general topics:
1. Fundamentals of Soldering Technology; 2. Solder Materials; 3. Substrate Materials; 4. Fluxes; 5. Solder Pastes; 6. Assembly Processes; 7. Inspection Techniques for Product Acceptance and Process Optimization; and 8. Environmental, Safety, and Health. Thorough discussions are provided in each of the major topical areas, including important principles on materials and processing as well as handy access to tabulated properties data. The text is formatted to serve as a reference book; therefore, some information is duplicated in order to assure a clarity of discussion within each section. The handbook also provides a substantial reference section at the end of the text which lists sources of information for those individuals wishing additional details on specific topics.
It is the author’s goal that the information provided in this handbook will allow soldering technology to be more fully utilized in advanced structural joining applications, as well as to enhance its continued use as a critical assembly technology for the electronics industry.

AWS BRH: Brazing Handbook (5th Edition)
| Size: 30.64 MB| Format:PDF| Quality:Original preprint| Publisher: American Welding Society, Inc. (AWS) | Year: 5th Edition, 2007| pages: 740
AWS BRH, 5th Edition, 2007 - Brazing Handbook
INTRODUCTION
The process of brazing that we know today began as an ancient art. What began as art, however, evolved through our increased understanding of the nature and behavior of materials into art, technology, and science. In a very general sense, brazing is a process for joining materials which relies on the melting, flow, and solidification of a filler metal to form a leaktight seal, a strong structural bond, or both. The uniqueness of the process is that metallurgical bonds are formed during brazing by melting only the filler metal and not the parts being joined. Brazing is a well established commercial process, and is widely used in industry, in large part, because almost every metallic and ceramic material can be joined by brazing. Generally, brazing can easily be performed by manual techniques, but, in many cases, it can just as easily be automated if necessary.
The American Welding Society defines brazing as “a group of welding processes which produces coalescence of materials by heating them to a suitable temperature and by using a filler metal having a liquidus temperature above 840°F (450°C) and below the solidus temperature of the base materials. The filler metal is distributed between the closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary attraction.” This definition serves to distinguish brazing from other joining processes of soldering and welding. Brazing and soldering share many important features, but the term “brazing” is used when the joining process is performed above 840°F (450°C), while “soldering” is used below that temperature. Brazing differs from welding in that in braze processing the intention is to melt only the braze filler metal and not the base materials. In welding, both filler metals and base metals are melted during the process.
To achieve a good joint by any variation of the brazing process, the parts must be properly cleaned and must be protected from excessive oxidation by fluxing, or by use of a controlled atmosphere. In addition, the parts must be designed so that when they are properly aligned a capillary is formed in which the molten filler metal can flow. Also, a heating process must be selected that will produce the proper brazing temperature and heat distribution. The various brazing processes, joint design, cleaning and heating methods, and details specific to particular materials are outlined in this Brazing Handbook. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a basic understanding of the brazing process through a review of the factors fundamental to the process itself. To assist the reader with unfamiliar terms, a glossary of terms commonly used in the field is provided in Appendix A.

This specification presents the minimum fabrication and quality requirements for the furnace soldering of materials that include elemental metals, metal alloys, and ceramic base materials that are in geometries that suit the application.
The purpose of this specification is to standardize furnace soldering process requirements that will assure that the solder joints attain the quality level designated by the application. This document establishes the minimum such requirements. It also provides explanations with details to prevent ambiguity within the descriptions. This document assigns responsibility for solder joint quality to the Organization Having Quality Responsibility and permits that organization to modify requirements as necessary. All such modifications shall be in writing. It assigns responsibility for the ultimate quality of the soldered product to a single organization and permits that organization to modify requirements if appropriate to the application. It requires proper documentation of any such modifications.

AWS C3.9M/C3.9-2009: Specification for Resistance Brazing
| Size: 4.04 MB| Format:PDF| Quality:Scanner| Publisher: American Welding Society, Inc. (AWS) | Year: 1st Edition, 2009| pages: 26
AWS C3.9M/C3.9, 1st Edition, 2009 - Specification for Resistance Brazing
This specification presents the minimum fabrication and quality requirements for the resistance brazing of materials such as steels, stainless steels, copper, copper alloys, and heat- or corrosion-resistant materials as well as other materials that can be adequately resistance brazed.
The purpose of this specification is to standardize resistance brazing process requirements and control braze joint quality for all applications requiring brazed joints of assured quality. This document establishes the minimum requirements for processes and products with a minimum of explanatory information so that sources of ambiguity are minimized. It assigns responsibility for the ultimate quality of the brazed product to a single organization and permits that organization to modify requirements if appropriate to the application. It requires proper documentation of any such modifications.
Procedures for the protection of the safety and health of those performing resistance brazing and related operations are of great importance. However, safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this standard and therefore are not fully addressed herein. Safety and health information is available from other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes.
This standard makes use of both the International System of Units (SI) and U.S. Customary Units. The latter are shown within brackets [ ], or in appropriate columns in tables and figures. The measurements may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently.
