In this post, we will see the book Brazing And Soldering Of Metals by N. F. Lashko; S. V. Lashko-Avakyan.

About the book

Soldering of metals and alloys, together with furnace welding, represents one of the oldest methods of securing a permanent joint between different parts. In order to distinguish fusion welding from other welding methods devised at the end of the last century, this method has been termed “soldering” by N.N. Benardos. Some basic principles of soldering laid down in ancient times and still applied today have proved to be insufficient for securing many kinds of permanent joints required for modern machinery building.

The intention of the authors of the present study has been to present known data on soldering processes in the light of their own experience as well as in the light of the general knowledge of the physical and chemical processes of soldering. The authors do not pretend to have given an exhaustive treatment of all the problems involved and admit that many of them still remain questionable.

The first section of the book deals with the distinguishing features of the design of soldered joints. Some problems concerning the interaction of liquid solders with the parts to be soldered, their crystallization, and internal structure of the soldered seam and its influence on the quality of the resulting connections are treated in the second section. Characteristic features of crystallization occurring in the soldered seam, as well as of the internal structure of the latter, have been published earlier in the authors’ study, “Physical Metallurgy of Welding”. In the third section, problems are examined connected with the selection of solders and fluxes required.

The fourth section deals with the basic methods of soldering, which are determined by the methods of heating the parts to be soldered and of removal of scale and oxide films, as well as by the methods of preparing solders. In the fifth and last section, essential features of soldering various alloys to different kinds of base metal are described.
