Sumario:The ultrasonic-assisted brazing process was studied both numerically and experimentally. The ultrasonic brazing system was modeled by considering the actual brazing conditions. The numerical model showed the distribution of acoustic pressure within the filler and its variations according to the gap distance at different brazing temperatures. In the experimental part, brazing joints were studied and evaluated under multiple conditions and parameters. Although either the initial compression load or the ultrasonic vibration (USV) can initiate the interaction at the interface, the combined effect of both helped to produce joints of a higher quality with a relatively short brazing time, which can be further optimized in terms of their mechanical strength. The effect of the Si content on the joint interface, and the effect of the brazing conditions on the microstructures were studied and discussed.
