ARTICLE XIV
BRAZING DATA
QB-403
Brazing Filler Metal
QB-403.1 A change from one F-Number in table
QB-432 to any other F-Number, or to any other filler
metal not listed in table QB-432.
VARIABLES
QB-401
General
QB-401.1 Each brazing variable described in this
Article is applicable as an essential or nonessential variable for procedure qualification when referenced in
QB-250 for each specific process. Essential variables for
performance qualification are referenced in QB-350 for
each specific brazing process. A change from one brazing
process to another brazing process is an essential variable
and requires requalification.
QB-403.2 A change in filler metal from one product

form to another (for example, from preformed ring to
paste).
QB-404
Brazing Temperature
QB-404.1 A change in brazing temperature to a value
outside the range specified in the BPS.
QB-402
Base Metal
QB-402.1 A change from a base metal listed under
one P-Number in table QW/QB-422 to any of the following:
(a) a metal listed under another P-Number
(b) any other base metal not listed in table
QW/QB-422
(c) as permitted in QW-420.2 (for S-Numbers)
The brazing of dissimilar metals need not be requalified
if each base metal involved is qualified individually for
the same brazing filler metal, flux, atmosphere, and process. Similarly, the brazing of dissimilar metals qualifies
for the individual base metal brazed to itself and for the
same brazing filler metal, flux, atmosphere, and process,
provided the requirements of QB-153.1(a) are met.
QB-406
Brazing Flux, Fuel Gas, or Atmosphere
QB-406.1 The addition or deletion of brazing flux or
a change in AWS classification of the flux. Nominal
chemical composition or the trade name of the flux may
be used as an alternative to the AWS classification.
QB-406.2 A change in the furnace atmosphere from
one basic type to another type. For example:
(a) reducing to inert
(b) carburizing to decarburizing
(c) hydrogen to disassociated ammonia
QB-406.3 A change in the type of fuel gas(es).
QB-402.2 A change from a base metal listed under

one P-Number in table QW/QB-422 to any of the following:
(a) a metal listed under another P-Number
(b) any other metal not listed in table QW/QB-422
(c) as permitted in QW-420.2 (for S-Numbers)
The brazing of dissimilar metals need not be requalified
if each base metal involved is qualified individually for
the same brazing filler metal, flux, atmosphere, and process. Similarly, the brazing of dissimilar metals qualifies
for the individual base metal brazed to itself and for the
same brazing filler metal, flux, atmosphere, and process.
QB-407
Flow Position
QB-407.1 The addition of other brazing positions than
those already qualified (see QB-120 through QB-124,
QB-203 for procedure, and QB-303 for performance).
(a) If the brazing filler metal is preplaced or facefed
from outside the joint, then requalification is required in
accordance with the positions defined in figures QB-461.1
and QB-461.2 under the conditions of QB-120 through
QB-124.
(b) If the brazing filler metal is preplaced in a joint in
a manner that major flow does occur, then requalification
is required in accordance with the positions defined in
figures QB-461.1 and QB-461.2 under the conditions of
QB-120 through QB-124.
QB-402.3 A change in base metal thickness beyond

the range qualified in QB-451 for procedure qualification,
or QB-452 for performance qualification.

encountered in the fabrication of production brazements,

including at least 80% of the aggregate time at temperature(s). The postbraze heat treatment total time(s) at temperature(s) may be applied in one heating cycle.
QB-408
Joint Design
QB-408.1 A change in the joint type, i.e., from a butt
to a lap or socket, from that qualified. For lap or socket
joints, an increase in lap length of more than 25% from
the overlap used on the brazer performance qualification
test coupon.
QB-409.3 For a procedure qualification test coupon

receiving a postbraze heat treatment in which the upper
transformation temperature is exceeded, the maximum
qualified thickness for production brazements is 1.1 times
the thickness of the test coupon.
QB-408.2 A change in the joint clearances to a value

outside the range specified in the BPS and as recorded
in the PQR.
QB-410
Technique
QB-410.1 A change in the method of preparing the
base metal, i.e., method of precleaning the joints (for
example, from chemical cleaning to cleaning by abrasive
or mechanical means).
QB-408.3 A change in the joint clearances to a value

outside the range specified in the BPS.
QB-408.4 A change in the joint type, e.g., from a
butt to a lap or socket, from that qualified. For lap and
socket joints, a decrease in overlap length from that qualified.
QB-410.2 A change in the method of postbraze cleaning (for example, from chemical cleaning to cleaning by
wire brushing or wiping with a wet rag).
QB-410.3 A change in the nature of the flame (for
example, a change from neutral or slightly reducing).
QB-409
Postbraze Heat Treatment
QB-409.1 A separate procedure qualification is
required for each of the following conditions:
(a) For P-Nos. 101 and 102 materials, the following
postbraze heat treatment conditions apply:
(1) no postbraze heat treatment
(2) postbraze heat treatment below the lower transformation temperature
(3) postbraze heat treatment above the upper transformation temperature (e.g., normalizing)
(4) postbraze heat treatment above the upper transformation temperature followed by heat treatment below
the lower transformation temperature (e.g., normalizing
or quenching followed by tempering)
(5) postbraze heat treatment between the upper and
lower transformation temperatures
(b) For all other materials, the following post weld
heat treatment conditions apply:
(1) no postbraze heat treatment
(2) postbraze heat treatment within a specified temperature range
QB-410.4 A change in the brazing tip sizes.

QB-410.5 A change from manual to mechanical torch
brazing and vice versa.

F-NUMBERS
QB-431
General
The following F-Number grouping of brazing filler

metals in table QB-432 is based essentially on their usability characteristics, which fundamentally determine the
ability of brazers and brazing operators to make satisfactory brazements with a given filler metal. This grouping
is made to reduce the number of brazing procedure and
performance qualifications, where this can logically be
done. The grouping does not imply that filler metals
within a group may be indiscriminately substituted for a
filler metal which was used in the qualification test without consideration of the compatibility from the standpoint
of metallurgical properties, design, mechanical properties, postbraze heat treatment, and service requirements.
QB-409.2 A change in the postbraze heat treatment

(see QB-409.1) temperature and time range requires a
PQR.
The procedure qualification test shall be subjected to
postbraze heat treatment essentially equivalent to that

NOTES:
(1) Either hardened and greased shoulders or hardened rollers free
to rotate shall be used.
(2) The shoulders of rollers shall have a minimum bearing surface
of 2 in. (50 mm) for placement of the specimen. The rollers shall
be high enough above the bottom of the jig so that the specimens
will clear the rollers when the ram is in the low position.
(3) The ram shall be fitted with an appropriate base and provision
made for attachment to the testing machine, and shall be of a
sufficiently rigid design to prevent deflection and misalignment
while making the bend test. The body of the ram may be less than
the dimensions shown in column A.
(4) If desired, either the rollers or the roller supports may be made
adjustable in the horizontal direction so that specimens of t thickness may be tested on the same jig.
(5) The roller supports shall be fitted with an appropriate base
designed to safeguard against deflection or misalignment and
equipped with means for maintaining the rollers centered midpoint
and aligned with respect to the ram.

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) Dimensions not shown are the option of the designer. The
essential consideration is to have adequate rigidity so that the
jig parts will not spring.
(b) The specimen shall be firmly clamped on one end so that there
is no sliding of the specimen during the bending operation.
(c) Test specimens shall be removed from the jig when the outer
roll has been removed 180 deg from the starting point.
