Abstract
The effect of multiple braze furnace exposures has been questioned by many because the rework of brazed parts is a common practice in manufacturing. However, there are process controls that limit the number of exposures for an assembly due to known issues with multiple exposures. A common concern deals with the effect of multiple braze furnace exposures on the structural integrity of the base material of the components. Another concern regards the effect of multiple exposures on the structural integrity of the braze joint itself. This paper details experimental results of a physical study to investigate these questions. The material forms used are seam-welded tube and a thin-wall stamped component, both made from 304L stainless steel. The copper paste used in the study has an industry designation of ANSI/AWS A5.8 - BCu-1a.
