BRAZED COMPONENTS AND IMPROVED METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEM

Abstract: a modular pod for performing a brazing process includes a housing defining an interior thereof, a vacuum device in selective fluid communication with the interior of the housing with the vacuum device configured to selectively form a vacuum within the interior of the housing, a first energy source disposed external to the interior of the housing, and a first energy access feature provided through the housing. the first energy access feature forms a pathway for transferring energy from the first energy source to the interior of the housing for heating a workpiece disposed therein in accordance with the brazing process. a heat conductive gas is selectively fluidly communicated to the interior of the housing following formation of the vacuum therein with the heat conductive gas aiding in transferring heat energy to the workpiece during the brazing process.
