The invention relates to a method for producing a mistuning component. The method comprises the following steps: a) producing a container (34) having at least one chamber (36); b) producing a lid (32, 32′); c) inserting at least one impulse element into the chamber (36); d) joining the lid (32, 32′) and the container (36), wherein joining is carried out by soldering/brazing.

A hollow aluminum structure that will be brazed includes at least one brazing sheet having a filler metal layer clad onto a core layer. The core layer is composed of aluminum or an aluminum alloy containing less than 0.2 mass % Mg. The filler metal layer is composed of an aluminum alloy that contains Si: 4.0-13.0 mass % and Bi: 0.01-0.3 mass %, and further contains Li: 0.004-0.08 mass % and/or Be: 0.006-0.12 mass %, the filler metal layer containing less than 0.1 mass % Mg. The hollow aluminum structure is assembled such that the filler metal layer is present at locations that will form both an interior-facing brazed joint and an exterior-facing brazed joint. Then, flux is applied onto the filler metal layer at the location that will form the exterior brazed joint, and the hollow aluminum structure heated in an inert gas atmosphere to form the interior brazed joint and the exterior brazed joint.

An electrostatic chuck with a top surface adapted for Johnsen-Rahbek clamping in the temperature range of 500 C to 750 C. The top surface may be sapphire. The top surface is attached to the lower portion of the electrostatic chuck using a braze layer able to withstand corrosive processing chemistries. A method of manufacturing an electrostatic chuck with a top surface adapted for Johnsen-Rahbek clamping in the temperature range of 500 C to 750 C.

An apparatus, material and method for forming a brazing sheet has a composite braze liner layer of low melting point aluminum alloy and 4000 series braze liner. The low melting point layer of the composite braze liner facilitates low temperature brazing and decrease of the diffusion of magnesium from the core into the composite braze liner. The reduction of magnesium diffusion also lowers the formation of associated magnesium oxides at the braze joint interface that are resistant to removal by Nocolok flux, thereby facilitating the formation of good brazing joints through the use of low temperature controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB) and Nocolok flux. The apparatus also enables the production of brazing sheet materials with high strength and good corrosion property.

A method of repairing a superalloy component includes a series of sequential steps. The steps are, cleaning the component, applying brazing material to the component, heat treating the component, inspecting the component, preparing the surface of the component, welding the component, and performing a second inspection of the component. The superalloy component is comprised of a high gamma prime superalloy.

A method for repairing solder joint leakages on a connection unit designed to feed cooling water into hollow metallic stator bars of a stator winding of an electrical machine. A welding or soldering apparatus is designed for carrying out the method.

A method includes picking up a first package component, removing an oxide layer on an electrical connector of the first package component, placing the first package component on a second package component after the oxide layer is removed, and bonding the first package component to the second package component.

A method for assembling components implementing includes a pre-treatment of the solder bumps allowing an assembly by fluxless and residue-free soldering. A first component carrying solder bumps is assembled with a second component carrying connectors. Beforehand, a pre-treatment of the components carrying solder bumps is carried out by contacting them with a pre-treatment liquid which makes their subsequent fluxless and residue-free soldering possible.

A method for repairing a tip portion of a turbine component having a structural defect is provided. The method includes removing a damaged section in turbine component with a structural defect in a tip portion of the turbine component. A pre-sintered preform is provided including a first portion having a first composition and a second portion having a second composition. The pre-sintered preform is configured to mate with an upper surface of a remaining portion of the turbine component. The method also includes applying the pre-sintered preform to the upper surface, wherein the PSP comprises a superalloy material and a braze material. The PSP and the remaining portion of the turbine component are subjected to a brazing process to melt the braze material and fill in the structural defect.

This brazing device is provided with: a brazing laser beam emission unit; and a removal laser beam emission unit that emits, toward foreign matters, a removal laser beam for removing the foreign matters adhered to the surface of a workpiece when joining the workpiece, wherein the emission direction of the removal laser beam in inclined, with respect to the emission direction of the brazing laser beam, at a predetermined angle in a direction in which the emission position of the removal laser beam approaches the emission position of the removal laser beam.
