Abstract
Brazed structures comprising hollow components having a closure component bonded thereto by a metallic brazing alloy for closing off an end of the hollow component are disassembled by locating a wire transport material in the hollow component and covering the open face of the hollow component with a wire fiber material. Heat is then applied to liquefy the brazing alloy which is drawn up into the metal wire fiber material by capillary affect created by the wire transport material.
