Brazing is a versatile process that allows you to join many different types of metals.
Here are five key points to understand about brazing various metals together.
5 Key Points to Know About Brazing Metals
1. Types of Metals That Can Be Brazed
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.
2. Common Brazing Filler Metals
Silver brazing filler metals from the AWS BAg family are commonly used for brazing these metals.
It is important to consider how the braze alloy will be introduced into the joint and the form in which it is commercially available.
3. Forms of Braze Alloys
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.
4. Importance of Clean Surfaces
Clean and oxide-free surfaces are essential for achieving sound brazed joints.
The use of flux or reduction atmosphere helps remove oxide from the surfaces.
5. Applications of Brazing
Brazing is commonly used in applications such as metal housings, electro-mechanical assemblies, pipe fittings, plumbing fixtures, automotive engine components, and HVAC system components.
