Abstract
A mathematical model of thermal processes in welding of piping in space is proposed. Software has been developed for implementation of the above model in the computer. Detailed computer simulation of thermal processes in stainless tube brazing has been performed. Optimal geometrical parameters and conditions of the brazed joint heating are determined, as well as time and energy required for performance of brazing.
Keywords: space, space vehicle, repair, piping, brazing, braze alloy, thermal processes, temperature field, fusion, simulation, investigations
