For over 40 years, Aeronca has produced several thousand pieces of brazed hardware. Aeronca developed high temperature brazing techniques have made these structures Aeronca brazed honeycomb heat shield panels helped to bring all of the Apollo spacecraft back safely to earth. Brazed structures have high energy-absorption capability and are ideally suited for environments where difficult combinations of aerodynamic, acoustic, and thermal loads exist. Weld brazing technology offers greater design flexibility than conventional resistance and fusion welding. This process is applicable to the joining of multiple sheets and dissimilar materials.
Brazed structures offer excellent strength and fatigue resistance.
This self-fixturing technique eliminates the need for costly tooling normally required in more conventional joining methods. CF6-80C2 nozzle being assembled for Boeing. Variation in face sheet thickness, core thickness, core density, fittings, edge members and configuration of internal structures can be tailored to the design requirements. This technology allows excellent design flexibility. The weight and strength requirements can be exactly tailored to the customer's needs.
