摘要

This study proposes an optimized induction brazing approach for waveguides aimed at improving joint quality and thermal stability, which are critical requirements in high-reliability aerospace assemblies. A multi-objective optimization framework is formulated to minimize deviation from a target temperature profile (within ± 5 °C), reduce temperature differences between brazed parts to below 2 °C, and limit heating-rate mismatch to less than 0.2 °C/s. Optimal trade-offs among these competing objectives are obtained using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), with simplified single- and bi-objective formulations adopted for practical implementation. The thermal behavior of the waveguide is modeled using a heat conduction equation accounting for reflected electromagnetic energy. The optimized trajectories are implemented using a PID-controlled induction heating system with infrared pyrometric feedback. Experimental validation on aluminum alloy AD31 waveguides demonstrates that the proposed method reduces thermal nonuniformity to below 2 °C and decreases the joint defect rate to 1%, confirming its effectiveness for stable and high-quality induction brazing.
