Abstract
A method for forming a brazed joint between a first part having a first surface and a second part having a second surface may comprise applying at least two beads of braze filler at either of the first surface and the second surface, and assembling the first surface and the second surface to define a shiplap interface therebetween. The shiplap interface may terminate at a first terminus and a second terminus, and may include a first cavity and a second cavity. One of the beads of braze filler may be localized at the first cavity and the other may be localized at the second cavity. The method may further comprise melting each of the beads of braze filler to a braze liquid, and allowing the braze liquid to flow through the shiplap interface from the first cavity towards the first terminus, and from the second cavity towards the second terminus.
