Abstract
Brazing technology is widely used in modern industrial systems as an important connection method. The brazing joints are the weakest zone in the whole structure and directly determine the working efficiency and life of the entire system. However, the research on the connection mechanism and fracture behavior of brazing joints is still unclear. In this study, the peeling force and displacement curves during the peeling process are tested by using T-type specimens. Based on the cohesive zone model, the peeling energy of each part during the whole peeling process is calculated and analyzed. The results show that the whole peeling process can be divided into three stages, including the initial stage, crack propagation stage, and stable peeling stage. The peeling energy of each stage can be calculated experimentally. The larger the peeling energy, the better the joint performance. Then, a simplified calculation method for peeling energy is developed for T-type joints and is verified as accurate using experimental data. It is also observed that the increase in the base material thickness can effectively improve the peeling performance of the joints. This provides a feasible and effective method for peel strength calculation and evaluation in brazing joints.
