1. An assembly comprising:
- a first plate member with a first abutting surface, the first abutting surface being generally planar and having a plurality of micro reservoirs for storing brazing material;
a second plate member with a second abutting surface, the second abutting surface being generally planar;
the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface being positioned adjacent each other and being joined by brazing material from the plurality of micro reservoirs.

Abstract
An assembly includes a first plate member with a first generally planar abutting surface and a second plate member with a second generally planar abutting surface. The first abutting surface being generally planar and having a plurality of micro reservoirs for storing brazing material. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface being positioned adjacent each other and being joined by brazing material from the plurality of micro reservoirs.

14. A method of forming an assembly, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first plate member with a first abutting surface, the first abutting surface being generally planar and having a plurality of micro reservoirs therein; inserting brazing material in the micro reservoirs; providing a second plate member with a second abutting surface, the second abutting surface being generally planar; positioning the first plate member and the second plate member with the first abutting surface adjacent the second abutting surface; providing a brazing layer between the first plate member and the second plate member; and heating the first plate member, the second plate member, the brazing layer, and the brazing material to braze the first plate member to the second plate member. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
