Additive particles are introduced to a braze joint by combining the additive particles with a flux and using the flux with additive particles to form a core or coating of a braze product including braze alloy and flux. Additive particles are selected to provide some improvement to the finished braze joint that cannot be achieved by combining the additive particles directly into the braze alloy. Methods of brazing include application of vibration to a braze joint while the braze joint is maintained at a brazing temperature. Vibration applied to the materials being joined is transmitted through the flux, molten braze alloy and additive particles, producing a braze joint of increased strength and uniformity.

A fastener identifying unit for use within an installation tool, has one or more movable jaws associated with a barrel. At least one jaw includes an identification member that changes position when the respective jaw moves or is actuated. The jaws are movable relative to the barrel and define a fastener receiving section, which may be an interface between a pair of jaws.

Systems and methods for brazing and soldering using low and non-silver based filler metals are described. The present invention includes methods and systems for brazing and soldering using copper based or bronze type filler metals in lieu of silver containing filler metals. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the bronze filler metals are substantially cheaper than silver alloy filler metals that are commonly used. Furthermore, the present Invention uses a low-temperature, water-soluble flux that provides for easier cleanup after the completion of the brazing process. Additionally, the present invention provides significant advantages over traditional copper brazing in that it allows for a one-piece workflow and eliminates the need for large component pieces and filler metal inventories. This results in a significant decrease in capital expenditures and utility costs. Finally the method described results in a significant decrease in the amount of equipment maintenance and capital investment
