Abstract
Abstract A procedure for joining parts by brazing-diffusion by Effecting a primary machining on the parts to be assembled in order to prde reservoirs for filling metal, Arranging a strip between the parts or deposit a coating on one of the parts, Filling the filling metal reservoir with a metal powder, Holding the parts together and providing pressure on the surfaces to be joined by means of screws or the equivalent, Placing the assembly within an enclosure containing a controlled atmosphere which is heated to cause, first, the filling metal to flow and, second, diffusion to take place, then Performing a secondary machining to eliminate the retaining screws and if possible the reservoirs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A process for joining parts by brazing-diffusion, comprising the steps of: forming reservoirs in a face of at least one part to be joined; filling said reservoirs with brazing metal; securing said parts together, with retaining screws, with said face of said one part abutting the other part; heating said parts in a controlled atmosphere to cause said brazing metal to flow and diffuse; and thereafter machining said reservoirs and retaining screws from said parts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for joining parts by brazing-diffusion, comprising the steps of: forming reservoirs in a face of at least one part to be joined; filling said reservoirs with brazing metal; securing said parts together, with retaining screws, with said face of said one part abutting the other part; heating said parts in a controlled atmosphere to cause said brazing metal to flow and diffuse; and thereafter machining said reservoirs and retaining screws from said parts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said securing step is performed with retaining screws of the same material as said parts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A process as defined in claim 1 wherein said securing step is performed with retaining screws having a lower coefficient of expansion than the parts to be joined.
