Cu melts at 1083°C and we hydrogen braze at 1030°C. So if I run a 1/8-in rod at this tempertaure, a 4-year old could easily bend it, looking like a mini Schwarzenegger. So maybe not a real noodle, but defintely much softer than typical annealed wire or gaskets, which are heated at temperatures...
Hello-
I am running a simulation of a simple brazed copper assembly; brazed at 1050°C. I believe the Young's Modulus will drastically change after brazing at this temperature since the annealed state is "dead soft". My analyst colleague is using an annealed value for E of 15E-6 psi, which...
