A system and method for using filler wire in hot wire applications, e.g., brazing, cladding, building up, filling, overlaying, welding, and joining applications, is provided. The filler wire has a first section that has a first resistance per unit length. The filler wire has a second section that has a second resistance per unit length, which is higher than the first resistance per unit length. The second section of the filler wire is configured to melt before the first section during hot-wire applications. In some embodiments, a resistivity of the first section and a resistivity of the second section are equal and the second section has a cross-sectional area that is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the first section. In some embodiments, a resistivity of filler material in the first section and a resistivity of filler material in the second section are different.

A solder feeding device having a reservoir, a drive unit, a first lead, and a second lead is provided. The reservoir melts solid solder wire into molten solder, while the drive unit selectively feeds the solid solder wire into the reservoir. The first and second leads are in electrical communication with the drive unit. The first lead is positioned in the reservoir so that it electrically communicates with the second lead through the molten solder when the molten solder reaches a triggering level, but so that it does not electrically communicate with the second lead when the level is below the triggering level. The drive unit feeds the solid solder wire into the reservoir based upon a state of electrical communication between the first and second leads.

Both an apparatus and a process for accurately applying a correct amount of brazing heat to a conduit are disclosed herein. The apparatus generally comprises a mandrel including an electrical resistance wire heating element and a heat sensor for sensing the temperature of the inside walls of the conduit which were heated. The mandrel is preferably formed from a refractory material, and the heat sensor is located beneath the surface of the mandrel in order to insulate it from heat radiated from the electrical resistance wire wound about the mandrel body. The mandrel further includes an opening in the portion of the mandrel which surrounds the heat sensor in order that the sensor may be selectively exposed to a section of conduit to which heat was applied by sliding the mandrel to a position which aligns the opening with the wall of the heated conduit. The temperature of the conduit may then be determined as a function of the radiant heat received by the heat sensor. The invention is particularly useful in producing high quality braze joints between reinforcing sleeves inserted within damaged heat exchange tubes of a nuclear steam generator since the heat sensor allows the operator to determine whether or not a proper amount of brazing heat was applied to the sleeve/tube configuration.

A gas nozzle for the outflow of a protective/shielding gas stream from a gas outlet of the gas nozzle having a gas distributor/diffuser section has a double-walled configuration at least in a partial area of the gas distributor/diffuser section in order to create a flow space for the protective/shielding gas stream. The invention also relates to a torch neck and to a method for thermally joining at least one workpiece, in particular for arc joining, preferably for arc welding or arc brazing/soldering, with an electrode which is arranged in the torch neck or with a wire for producing an arc between the electrode or the wire and the workpiece, and having a gas nozzle for the outflow of a protective/shielding gas stream from a gas outlet.

摘要:
A method for aligning and soldering a first device (11) to a substrate (16) comprises the steps of providing a plurality of solder elements (17) between the first device and the substrate, aligning the first device, and then reflowing and cooling the solder elements to bond the first device to the substrate. The improvement comprises, first, reflowing only a first group of solder elements and then cooling the elements of the first group, thereby to tack the first device to the substrate. Thereafter, we reflow only a second group of the plurality of solder elements and cool the second group, thereby to provide a more secure bond between the device and the substrate without interfering with the alignment of the first device. This method reduces the amount of energy needed for each fellow step, thereby reducing stresses and maintaining better alignment. In an illustrative embodiment, three groups of solder elements are provided, each group containing four solder elements to be heated by individual heater elements (39). Separate circuits (27, 28, 29) are provided for energizing sequentially the three groups for reflow. Thus, four solder elements are initially reflowed and cooled to provide good tacking between the first device and the substrate. Thereafter, the other groups are actuated sequentially with heat dissipation occurring between each successive actuation. Thermal barriers (34, 38) are preferably included between each heater element and the first device and between the heater element and the substrate to concentrate heat on the solder element (17). The first device is illustratively a laser (11) that is aligned with an optical fiber (12) prior to bonding.

An endless belt (1) transports supports (6) on which electronic components have been placed. The supports have a layer of solder which is to be melted to make electrical contact with the components assembled thereon. A hot plate (8) is arranged at the downstream end of the belt (1). In order to ensure uniform heating of the supports through the belt, the hot plate is provided with openings (10) in its plane, belt-contacting surface. The openings are connected to a vacuum pump (16) and the vacuum keeps the belt in intimate contact with the hot plate.The installation is particularly intended for use in assembling hybrid micro-circuits, whether using thin film technology or thick film technology.
