A

450C, higher

28
Q

Brazing is typically performed on _______ alloys such as _______

A

32
Q

_____________: common manual method of brazing in which a skilled worker manipulates a torch and a reel of filler material

A

Torch Brazing

33
Q

_______________: Is when the parts are prepared, mounted in a jig with the filler material applied in the right places, and placed in a furnace where the filler material permeates the joint

A

Furnace Brazing

34

36
Q

Adhesives should be loaded in ______________ only

A

38
Q

What are the 4 types of adhesives?

39
Q

________________ use the dispersion of active adhesive in a solvent.
