| Brazing relies on capillary attraction. Therefore,
the joint design is crucial in the success of the brazing. An
unbroken capillary path with gaps not exceeding 0.1mm are required
for most applications.
Whenever possible, joints should be self-supporting or self-jigging
as furnace jigs can be expensive, they may move in the heat
during the process and they occupy furnace space adding to
the unit costs. |

Joint Strength
A correctly designed and brazed joint should produce a strength
of joint that is in excess of the parent metal.
