A closed socket brazed joint assembly is provided. The assembly comprises: a first member composed of a first base material; a second member composed of a second base material with a first end composed of a first profile with at least first and second faying surfaces; a socket formed in said first member configured to receive the first end of the second member with a faying surface with at least two portions separated by a first fillet; wherein the socket further is configured such that in a first state before the application of energy to the joint there is a gap with a width between the faying surfaces of the first member and the faying surfaces of the second member; and, in the first state a slug of brazing fill material is disposed between the first end of the second member and at least one faying surface of the socket; and, wherein a second state is created when upon application of energy the brazing fill material melts and flows from between first end of the second member and the at least one faying surface of the socket filling aforesaid gap between the faying surfaces of the first and second members.
