Brazing: Fundamentals and Application

  • Instructor Led

PRI Training’s Brazing: Fundamentals and Application course teaches participants how to control key variables to ensure brazed joints conform to customer specifications and quality requirements. The course provides an overview of the brazing process and its underlying scientific phenomena. Participants review best practices for joint design, base and filler metals, heat sources, and protective covers. Participants also review common types of brazed joint discontinuities and how they are detected, identified, assessed, and addressed. The course concludes with a case study focused on the inspection and testing of brazed joints.
Brazing is a two-day course that uses discussions, activities, and interactive knowledge checks to foster engagement and guide participant learning. .
