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.

The disclosure describes a tempered vacuum glass, which comprises: at least two glass sheets arranged parallel to each other; surrounding edges of adjacent glass sheets being sealed using an edge sealing structure; and support members placed in an array between the adjacent glass sheets to form a vacuum space. The edge sealing structure is a metallic edge-sealing structure. The structure comprises a first transition layer, a first metallized layer, a first intermetallic compound layer, a solder layer, a second intermetallic compound layer, a second metallized layer, and a second transition layer stacked in that order. The first and second metallized layers are in a spongy skeleton structure formed by sintering a metal paste. The first and second transition layers are formed by sintering the metal paste on the adjacent glass sheets, and contain a glass phase layer including metallic particles and a metal oxide layer with a net structure.

Provided is a joint manufacturing method including: a step A of preparing a laminate in which two objects to be joined are temporarily adhered with a heat-joining sheet including a pre-sintering layer interposed between the two objects to be joined; a step B of increasing a temperature of the laminate from a temperature equal to or lower than a first temperature defined below to a second temperature; and a step C of holding the temperature of the laminate in a predetermined range after the step B, in which the laminate is pressurized during at least a part of the step B and at least a part of the step C. The first temperature is a temperature at which an organic component contained in the pre-sintering layer is decreased by 10% by weight when the pre-sintering layer is subjected to thermogravimetric measurement.
