This specification presents the minimum fabrication, equipment, material, process procedure and inspection require-
ments for the brazing of aluminum by all of the processes commonly used- -atmosphere furnace, vacuum furnace, and
flux processes. Its purpose is to standardize aluminum brazing requirements for all applications in which brazed alumi-
num joints of assured quality are required. It provides criteria for classifying aluminum brazed joints based on loading
and the consequences of failure and quality assurance criteria defining the limits of acceptability of each class. The
specification defines acceptable brazing equipment, materials and procedures, as well as the required inspection for each
class of joint.
