Abstract
A brazing process is enhanced by the employment of an external electromagnetic field. In complex joints of large components, gravity and surface tension forces acting on the molten braze alloy are insufficient for completely filling the interfacial gap. An external electromagnetic field enhances molten braze flow into voids between the components.
