Abstract
The brazing of copper alloys and duplex stainless steels is an indispensable manufacturing technology for thrust chambers with regenerative cooling. For setting up the optimized brazing conditions, C18200 copper alloy plate with machined cooling channels and S31803 stainless steel plate are brazed with AMS4764 filler metals of which thickness is 50${\mu}m$ and 80${\mu}m$ They are tested by X-ray radiography, strength/leakage and fracture tests, and fracture surface inspection. The results obtained by the suggested conditions are that the specimen brazed with filler metal thickness of 50${\mu}m$ has good strength properties and brazed zone. However, the specimen with filler metal thickness of 80${\mu}m$ has the brazed zone with cooling channel obstruction and enlargement.
