Abstract
A description of the welding and brazing filler metals most commonly used in nuclear-oriented applications is presented. The general classes of materials discussed are carbon steels, low-alloy steels, stainless steels, nickel and high-nickel alloys, aluminum, titanium and zirconium, refractory metals, and brazing filler metals. These filler metals are further categorized into the welding process or processes to which they are applicable, that is, shielded metal-arc, gas tungsten-arc, gas metal-arc, submerged-arc, and electroslag. The various factors involved in filler metal selection, such as mechanical properties, service temperature, and corrosion are considered. A discussion of the types of brazing fluxes and atmospheres is also presented.
