Knowledge Centre
Mat-Tech closely follows international developments in the field of high-tech brazing. Mat-Tech Development & Testing Department has access to new and fundamental research in the field, and is also actively involved in a number of international projects. The knowledge that Mat-Tech acquires is shared with our clients, industry peers and other parties where there is a common ground in high-tech brazing. We are actively sharing our knowledge at fairs, seminars and on this platform as well as other media. Some of the projects Mat-Tech are involved in are as follows:
Residueless Soldering with Bi-In
Thermo-mechanical stresses that built up from cool-down after soldering will affect the overall longevity performance of such devices. To mitigate this negative effect, soldering temperature
The Young-Laplace Equation
The shape of a liquid drop is governed by what is known as the Young-LaPlace equation. It was derived more or less simultaneously by Thomas
Young’s Law
The relation between surface tension and contact angles as a measure for the wetting capability is due to Thomas Young (1804). A short derivation is
Brazing of Aluminium Alloys with Higher Magnesium Content
One can braze the higher Mg-content heat-treatable AA-6082 series Al alloys, (containing Mg, Si, Fe, Mn, Cr, Zn, Ti), with a near-eutectic Al-Si filler metal
Diffusion Bonding and Brazing in 3D
This combination of technologies is essential in designing various plate and shell-type heat-exchangers. Application is shown in the joining of two-phase (α+β) Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM Grade
TLPB of Tungsten to Copper-Based Precipitation-Hardened Alloys
Transient Liquid Phase Bonding is applied well below the aging temperature (450-480˚C) of the CuCrZr-alloy, whereas the resulting joints will be capable of service at
