RE: Welding vs BrazingNeil:
I agree that most of the technology we seek is probably on file in some
aerospace archives. Trouble is, those folks have always been so secretive
with their info! I think it is a habit with them, even when it makes no
sense.
For example: I'd really love to have a thorough explanation (and the
equations) for the design of the radiator ducting used in Spitfires &
Mustangs during WW-II. Can't find it. Surely nobody can consider it a
strategic secret anymore!
As for the welding coupon tensile tests-- they aren't expensive, and are
commonly available in any area where welders must be qualified and/or
certified to work in a particular industry. Probably hundreds of such tests
are conducted in Houston every month. In fact, if somebody could provide
the coupons, I might could get the tests conducted gratis.
I like the way you approach LSR; seems similar to my own perspective.
