Abstract
A tip cap hole is loaded with a first composition comprising particles of a first alloy having a solidus temperature above the brazing temperature. The first composition is covered with a second composition comprising particles of a second alloy having a liquidus temperature below the brazing temperature. The second composition is heated to the brazing temperature to cause particles of the second alloy to melt to form a liquid of the second alloy which is carried into spaces between the particles of the first alloy by capillarity. The liquid of the second alloy is cooled to form a solid securely bonding the particles of the first alloy. By weight, the second alloy has no more than 1% B and from 3% to 11% Si. The first alloy has Cr and at least about 5% Al, at least about 0.5% Hf, no more than 0.5% Ti.
