Projects

1.  Mechano-chemical synthesis of powdered brazing filler metals of

     the Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni, Ni-Ti-Al, Zr-V-Ti-Mo, Ti-Fe-Al, and B-Si-C systems  

     prospective for manufacturing heat-resistant joints of  titanium

     alloys, titanium aluminides, nickel aluminides, and carbon-carbon

     composites.

     Project was started in 1998.

     Status on July 2005:

     R&D in synthesis of brazing filler metals of the Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni, Ni-Ti-Al, Zr-V-Ti-Mo, and Ti-Fe-Al systems were completed in 1999. Filler metals (see Products and services) are in the production and sale since 1999.

     R&D in synthesis of brazing filler metals of the Zr-V-Ti-Mo system

potential for joining refractory metals were started in 2003 and  completed in 2004. The filler metal TiBraze1500 (see Products and services) is in the production and sale since 2004.

     R&D in synthesis of brazing filler metals of the B-Si-C system potential for ultra-high temperature resistant joints of graphite and

C-C composites were started in 2005 and are in progress.

2.     Technology for manufacturing large scale industrial parties of 

      brazing filler metals based on the cast+grinding approach.

     Project was started in 2002.

     Status on July 2005:

      R&D in the large-scale production of brazing filler metals of the Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni, Ni-Ti-Al, Ti-Cu-Ni, and Ti-Fe-Al systems were completed in 2004. A number of filler metals of these systems (see Products and services) are in the production and sale since 2004 when making parties over 20 lbs (~10 kg).

3.     Manufacture of wire filler metals based on aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys for brazing titanium at low temperature range of 550-650⁰C (1020-1200^oF).

     Project was started in 2002.

     Status on July 2005:

      R&D in the wire production of brazing filler metals of Al and Mg alloys were completed in 2005. A number of filler metals of these systems (see Products and services) are in the production and sale since 2005.

      4.  Manufacture of brazing filler metals for joining aluminum at

           530-55^oC (986-1020^oF).

     Project was started in 2005.

     Status on July 2005:

     R&D are in progress.
