A fluxless brazing process has been developed that minimizes degradation of the mechanical properties of Borsic/aluminum composites. The process, which employs 718 aluminum alloy braze, is being used to fabricate full scale Borsic/aluminum-titanium honeycomb-core panels for Mach 3 flight testing on the YF-12 aircraft and ground testing in support of the Supersonic Cruise Aircraft Research (SCAR) Program. The manufacturing development and results of shear tests on full scale panels are presented.
