Various alloy system, such as Cu-Sn-Ti, Cu-Ag-Ti, and Ni-B-Cr-based alloy are used for the brazing of diamond grits. However, the problem of the adhesion strength between the diamond grits and the brazed alloy is presented. The adhesion strength between the diamond grits and the melting filler alloy is predicted by the contact angle, thereby, instead of diamond grit, the study on the wettability between the graphite and the brazing alloy has been indirectly executed. In this study, Cu-13Sn-12Ti filler alloy was manufactured, and the contact angles, the shear strengths and the interfacial area between the graphites(diamond grits) and braze matrix were investigated. The contact angle was decreased on increasing holding time and temperature. The results of shear strength of the graphite joints brazed filler alloys were observed that the joints applied Cu-13Sn-12Ti alloy at brazing temperature 940 $^{\circ}C$ was very sound condition indicating the shear tensile value of 23.8 MPa because of existing the widest carbide(TiC) reaction layers. The micrograph of wettability of the diamond grit brazed filler alloys were observed that the brazement applied Cu-13Sn-12Ti alloy at brazing temperature $990^{\circ}C$ was very sound condition because of existing a few TiC grains in the vicinity of the TiC layers.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of bonding temperature and holding time on microstructure and mechanical properties in brazing joints of Ni-base superalloy using MBF-30 (Ni-4.5Si-3.2B [wt.%]). The heating rate was $20^{\circ}C$/min to the bonding temperatures $1050^{\circ}C$, $1070^{\circ}C$, $1090^{\circ}C$ under high vacuum condition. The holding times were 100s, 400s, 900s and 1600s. $Ni_3B$ phases and proeutectic Ni were observed in the interlayer of Ni-201. Then, Ni3B and Ni3Si were found in the middle region of brazing joint. Cr-boride phase appeared in the interlayer of Inconel-625. Tensile strength and elongation were decreased at $1050^{\circ}C$-1600s, $1070^{\circ}C$-900s and $1090^{\circ}C$-400s. After observation the fracture specimens, There was Ni3B which is very brittle phase in the grain boundary of Ni201.

An attempt was made in this study to investigate the brazing characteristics of Zr-Be binary amorphous alloys for the development of a new brazing filler metal for joining Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel cladding tubes. This study was also aimed at the feasibility study of rapidly solidified amorphous alloys to substitute the conventional physical vapor-deposited(PVD) metallic beryllium. The $Zr_{1-x}Be_{x}$($0.3\leq$x$\leq0.5$) binary amorphous alloys were produced in the ribbon form by the melt-spinning method. It was confirmed by x-ray diffraction that the ribbons were amorphous. The amorphous. the amorphous alloys were used to join bearing pads on Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel cladding tubes. Using Zr-Be amorphous alloys as filler metals, it was found that the reduction in the tube wall thickness caused by erosion was prevented. Especially, in the case of using $Zr_{0.65}Be_{0.35}$ and $Zr_{0.7}Be_{0.3}$ amorphousalloys, the smooth and spherical primary $\alpha$-Zr particles appeared in the brazed layer, which was the most desirable microstructure from the corrosion-resistance standpoint.

This study investigated variations of micro-structures and mechanical properties of Ti / STS321L joint with various bonding temperature and time using brazing method. According to increasing bonding temperature and time, it was observed that the thickness of their reaction layer increased due So increasing diffusion rate and time. From the EPMA results, Ti diffused to the STS321L substrate according to increasing bending time to 30min. Hardness of bonded interface increased with increasing bonding temperature and time due to increasing their oxides and intermetallic compounds. XRD data indicated that Ag, Ag-Ti intermetallic compounds, TiAg and Ti₃Ag and titanium oxide, TiO₂were formed in interface. In tensile test, it was found that the tensile strength had a maximum value at the bonding temperature of 900℃ and time of 5min, and tensile strength decreased over bonding time of 5min. The critical thickness of intermetallic compounds was observed to about 30㎛, because of brittleness from their excessive intermetallic compounds and titanium oxide, and weakness from void.

The direct brazing technology which could be used for the simplification of brazing process and the improvement of brazed joint quality was studied with $Al_2O_3$ and stainless steels. The brazing of $Al_2O_3$ to STS304 or STS430 was performed under different brazing conditions such as brazing filler metal, temperature, heating rate and brazing time. Microstructural observation and chemical analysis be SEM/EPAM were carried out to verify the quality of brazed joints. 4-point bending strength of brazed joints was also measured to find the optimal brazing conditions. The results showed that, in brazing of $Al_2O_3$, the mixed oxide layer resulted from the reaction between Ti in filler metal and oxide layer on the material surface to be brazed was found to be bery important for the joint quality. The width of oxide layer varied with the brazing conditions such as brazing time, heating rate and chemical composition of filler metals. The strength of brazed joints was more affected by the type of materials and their thermal properties than by brazing heat cycle.

Powder type Ag system insert metals were manufactured by ball milling process. The variables of milling process such as milling media, revolution speed and powder/ball weight ratio were constant except the milling time. The milling times were selected for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The insert metals made by milling process were evaluated by performing scanning electron microscope, x-ray and DSC(differential scanning calorimetry) analysis, and further in terms of wettability test. The selected insert metals that have the good characteristics compared to commercial insert metals were applied to make the brazed joints of the steel/steel and the steel/WC superhard particles. The characterizations of those brazed joints were also conducted by microstructural observations, shear tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The results indicated that milling time of 48 hours for making powder type insert metals was the best condition showing the small amount of oxides residue, low wetting angle and stable microstructure. The brazed joints that applied the 48 hours milled insert metal were very sound condition indicating the shear tensile value of $2.29{\times}102$ MPa and the microhardness of 138VHN. Further, the amount of the porosity was appeared to be lower than that of the commercial insert metals.

Brazing of a stainless steel was described in this article. Brazing is a joining technology without melting a substrate and joining temperature is higher than $450^{\circ}C$. Brazing can be broadly applicable across industries. In particular, brazing of stainless steel is widely used in aircraft parts, car engines, heat exchangers, etc. due to its excellent strength, corrosion resistance and other suitable characteristics. Characteristics of the stainless steel depend on their classification like austenitic, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels. In addition, there are many processes in brazing and various parameters such as brazing heat source, filler metals, joint design, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to know basic knowledge about brazing to achieve good brazing joint. Accordingly, properties of stainless steel and design of brazing joint and related process were described in this article.

In this study, active metal brazing methods for $ZrO_2$ and Ti alloy were discussed. To get a successful metal-ceramic bonding, various factors (melting temperature, corrosion, sag resistance, thermal expansion coefficient etc. of base materilas and filler metal) should be considered. Moreover, in order to clarify bonding between the metal and ceramic, the mechanism of the interfacial structure of the joints should be identified. The driving force for the formation of metal and ceramic interfaces is the reduction of the free energy which occurs when their contact becomes complete. Interfacial bonding depends on the material combinations and the bonding processes. This study describes the bonding between ceramic and metal in an active metal brazing.
