CORROSION RESISTANCE OF THE BRAZED JOINTS OF THE GTE FUEL MANIFOLDS, MADE WITH VARIOUS BRAZING ALLOYS

Abstract

Presents the results of work on assessing the corrosion resistance of brazed joints of corrosion-resistant steels used in the manufacture of fuel manifolds for gas turbine engines in a salt spray chamber. The main types of corrosion damage of brazed joints made with brazing alloys of various types (based on copper and nickel) have been identified. The influence of the type of brazing alloy and the grade of the brazed materials on the nature of corrosion damage to brazed joints is determined. Based on the research results, assumptions have been made about the mechanism of occurrence and development of corrosion damage in brazed joints of various materials.
