Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 1P
A common problem with brazed or soldered joints is galvanic corrosion, because the joint usually involves dissimilar metals in direct metal-to-metal electrical contact.
- For each of the various solder or braze joints described below, determine which material will act as the corroding anode:
- Two pieces of low-carbon steel being brazed with a copper-base brazing alloy.
- A copper wire being soldered to a steel sheet using lead-tin solder.
- Pieces of tungsten carbide being brazed into recesses in a carbon-steel plate.
- How do the various lead-free solders compare to the conventional lead-tin solders with regard to their potential for galvanic corrosion?
- If galvanic corrosion becomes a significant and chronic problem in a brazed assembly, what changes might you suggest that could possibly reduce or eliminate the problem?

1.4 Explain the main differences between the joining process shown in Figure 2 and fusion
welding processes.
1.5 Name important design considerations applicable to the joining process shown in
Figure 2.
An RSW operation is used to join two pieces of sheet steel having a unit melting energy of 8369.85 J/cm3. The sheet steel has a thickness of 0.3125 cm. The weld duration will be set at 0.25 sec with a current of 11,000 amp. Based on the electrode diameter, the weld nugget will have a diameter of 0.75 cm. Experience has shown that 40% of the supplied heat melts the nugget and the rest is dissipated by the metal. If the electrical resistance between the surfaces is 130 micro-ohms, what is the thickness of the weld nugget assuming it has a uniform thickness?
Question 16
