DEFINITION

Classification: 228/214

(under subclass 101) Process (a) including shielding of the filler, a metal part (or component thereof) or both against detrimental effects prior to, during, or subsequent to joining or (b) including application of a substance to the meeting faces or the filler to promote union of the meeting faces.

(1) Note. A process of protecting metal parts where not combined with fusion bonding is classified elsewhere in accordance with the operation performed.

(2) Note. During the bonding operation the flux substance of clause (b) may protect the work from oxidation, may clean, or may catalytically enter into the reaction between the materials being united.
