This volume discusses the physical and chemical factors involved in the production of glass-metal seals and metallizing ceramic surfaces, including a discussion of the bonding involved, and methods of active metal brazing.

Joining Processes is aimed at scientists and engineers who need to specify effective means of joining metals and ceramics, and also for undergraduates whose studies encompass joining processes.
Joining Processes provides a brief review of the spectrum of joining processes ranging from fusion welding to adhesive bonding, followed by a detailed introduction to brazing, diffusion bonding and their hybrid processes. This book also describes the scientific principles of the joining processes and provides practical information about the optimum selection of joining...
