Module 5: Evaluate Advanced Brazing

Course details

This module offers participants an overview of the fundamentals of brazing, brazing process parameters, brazing fillers, soldering processes, and filler materials. The course provides a general understanding of the equipment used, joint designs, surface preparation, advantages and limitations of the processes, process applications, process variables, and operational costs of brazing. This course aims to equip participants with the skills and knowledge required for the selection of materials and brazing processing parameters in order to obtain improved mechanical properties for a given design and apply them in order to save costs, increase profitability, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Why This Course

This module will train participants and build up competencies required to understand the brazing and soldering processes and materials involved. On successful completion of this module, participants will be able to evaluate and control the quality of brazed and soldered joints in terms of optimised design, suitable selection of filler materials, and processing parameters. The acquired knowledge of advanced brazing and soldering techniques will be beneficial to both participants and their companies by upgrading individual expertise and corporate competitiveness.
