Description du projet/ Project Description
Optimization of the process of brazing alloys for joining different aerospace alloys used in gas turbine engines. 
Characterization of the brazed joints; the main goal being to develop structural joints and characterize their mechanical properties.

Objectifs/ Objectives
1) Understand the brazing process of several alloys (Ni/B, Au/Cu, Ag, etc) as a sealing and structural filler metal and optimize it using brazing parameters established in the laboratory. 
2) Optimization of brazed joints made with aerospace alloys in order to understand the influence of the brazing process basic conditions and achieve good and reliable joints each time.
3) Develop a database on the parameters for the brazing process to ensure quality and reproducibility.
4) define the allowable related to a given joint geometry and brazing process in order to define the potential of such joining techniques for structural aerospace applications.
