Many different types of metals can be brazed together. These include mild steel, high alloy steel, tool steel, stainless steel, precious metals, cast iron, Inconel, Monel, nickel, carbide, copper, brass, and bronze. Silver brazing filler metals from the AWS BAg family are commonly used for brazing these metals. It is important to consider the manner in which the braze alloy will be introduced into the joint and the form in which it is commercially available. Ductile metals like copper, silver, and gold base braze alloys are available in the form of wire, shim, sheet, and powder. Nickel base braze alloys are usually supplied in powder form and can be mixed with binders to form a paste. Clean and oxide-free surfaces are essential for achieving sound brazed joints.
Brazing can be done with a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, nickel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, ceramics, magnesium, and titanium. It is commonly used in applications such as metal housings, electro-mechanical assemblies, pipe fittings, plumbing fixtures, automotive engine components, and HVAC system components.
Brazing is a joining technique where a metal with a lower melting point than the materials to be joined is used to make the joint. It is typically done in a furnace where the whole assembly is heated to a temperature where the braze alloy melts and flows into the joint. Almost any metal or ceramic can be brazed as long as the braze alloy wets both surfaces to be joined. Oxide-free surfaces are important for achieving successful brazed joints. The use of flux or reduction atmosphere helps remove oxide from the surfaces. The specific method of brazing depends on the materials being joined and the type of furnace used.
