Abstract
The AlSi12 aluminium alloy is a most widely used brazing filler metal for brazing of aluminium wrought alloys. The composition of the brazing filler metal should be as close as possible to the eutectic point because a further brazing process does not permit any important deviations of the chemical composition due of a fast increase of the liquidus temperature of the brazing filler metal. The influence of the melt preparation (dilution with and without modification) and casting on the chemical composition, the microstructure, and the liquidus and solidus temperatures of the cast block in its cross section, in the longitudinal and transverse directions, will be investigated. The aim is to produce a cast block suitable as a whole for wire drawing or, when this is not possible, to determine its adequate applicable volume fraction to finally produce a brazing filler metal as a 1.2 mm wire. The influence of a modificator added to the alloy on the liquidus and solidus temperatures in remelting of the wire brazing filler metal produced during the brazing process is to be investigated. Then technological properties of the brazing filler metal and mechanical properties of the joint will be studied.
