Abstract
A method of making a braze preform includes: providing a mixture of a brazing alloy in metallic powder form and a binder; melting the binder and forming the mixture into a preform having a preselected shape; removing a majority of the binder from the preform; and heating the preform to remove the remainder of the binder and to sinter the metallic powder together. The preform may include a wear-resistant material therein. Such preforms may be used to form a braze joint between two metallic components, or to produce a metallic component with a wearcoated surface.
