Investigation of brazeability with spreading and gap-filling test (ISO 5179:2021)

This document specifies three test methods for investigating brazeability.
A spreading test shows testing method with measurement of the spread area of the filler metals.
A T-joint test describes a scheme to construct a T-shape design by the test pieces and a testing method.
A varying gap test describes a test piece and a testing method for assessing the influence of the various parameters which can influence brazing during manufacture as a function of clearances.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5179:1983), which has been technically

revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the spreading test has been added;
— the T-joint test has been added.

Introduction

When designing and making a brazed joint, quite apart from the physical properties of the brazing

alloy and the mechanical properties which can be expected from the joint, it is important to know

the brazeability as a function of the operating conditions adopted. The determination of wettability

has already been the subject of numerous investigations and proposals regarding testing methods. In

carrying out these investigations, the most frequently used methods are based on the spreading of a

drop, or on the measurement of surface tension, but they in fact only take one element of the problem

into account. It is important to know not only the way in which the liquid filler metal wets the surface of

the parent material but also how this same liquid filler metal behaves in a given gap between the joint

components when diffusion takes place.

In this document, brazeability is defined as a total degree of joinability. The joinability consists of both

wettability and fluidity to permit distribution into a joint, i.e. ability to fill a joint gap, although total

brazeability includes performance of the physical, and mechanical properties in services.

As the tests to be designated for brazeability, three methods are introduced in this document. The

traditional varying gap test is described for the most real ability to fill the gap, but it requires a private

sample preparation and special evaluation technique with X-ray device. The T-joint test is newly

developed to investigate ability to fill the gap in an easier manner. It can be easily operated at industrial

laboratories. Moreover, a simple spreading test is designated for practical convenience.
