Abstract

Brazing is used for joining parts of silencer used in sprayer machine which is manufactured by spark auto industry established in 1989. Silencer is a device used to reduce the noise produced by the engine. Cracks are generally form in the heat affected zone of the parent material. Residual stresses are an important consideration in the component integrity and life assessment of welded structure. Inspiring from the FEA, it has been carried out for estimating the stress generation in weld or brazed joint. Here value of residual stress for both, welding and brazing are carried out by thermal stress analysis and compared with each other. For the successful replacement of brazing by welding will only possible when the value of residual stress of welding must be lower than brazing.
