The switching properties of brazed and welded contact assemblies is strongly dependent on the quality of the joint between the contact and the carrier. The required high quality is evaluated through optical methods, continuous control of relevant process parameters and by sampling of finished products.
Brazed Joints
Despite optimized brazing parameters non-wetted defect areas in the braze joint cannot be avoided completely. These wetting defects can mostly be traced to voids caused by flux inclusions in the braze joint area. ...
