Patent ID: 8753753

Claim:
A brazed part including a first component and a second component brazed together by a brazing material along an inter-component gap between a brazing surface of the first component and a brazing surface of the second component, the brazed part comprising: a plurality of locating joints defining the inter-component gap between the brazing surfaces, each of the plurality of locating joints including: a projection with an arcuate convex surface on one of the first component and the second component; and a corresponding recess with opposite-facing angled walls on the other of the first component and the second component; a flow control feature formed between a first section and a second section of the inter-component gap, the first section and the second section not being in the same plane, the flow control feature being a lip that reduces a capillary force of the brazing material proximate the lip to inhibit the flow of the brazing material from the first section to the second section of the inter-component gap during a brazing process; wherein, in each of the plurality of locating joints, the projection is located in the corresponding recess and is supported by contact between the arcuate convex surface and at least one of the angled walls and wherein, during brazing, the brazing material is heated to form a liquid that flows through the inter-component gap to wet the brazing surfaces and join the brazing surfaces upon solidification.
