Purpose

This specification covers the requirements and procedures for the brazing of parts in a very low pressure gas which referred to as “vacuum” herein.

Application

This process provides general requirements and practices for vacuum brazing carbon and alloy steels, corrosion resistant steels, precipitation hardening alloys, nickel and cobalt-based alloys, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys, but usage is not limited to such applications. For specific brazing requirements, the applicable AMS, AWS, or other engineering specification should be referenced.

Safety - Hazardous Materials

While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
