What is Brazing?

Brazing is one of several processes by which two or more metals are joined. Filler metals are heated to temperatures above melting point while protected by a flux or other suitable atmosphere, after which it is flowed into the joint where it’s cooled and solidified. Brazing differs from soldering in that higher temperatures are used, and also differs from welding in that the work pieces are not melted.

The Advantages of Brazing

Brazing has multiple advantages over other metal-joining techniques, some of which include:

  • Capable of joining different metals and non-metals together with considerable strength
  • Produces a clean joint without requiring secondary finishing
  • Produces less thermal distortion
  • Cost-effective joining of complex and multi-part assemblies
  • Can be coated or clad for protective purposes
  • Less sensitive to variation, allowing for mass production and automation

Types of Braze Alloys

Various alloys can be used as filler metals for brazing purposes, including silver brazing alloys. Depending on your intended use or application method, other brazing alloys include:

  • Aluminium-silicon
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Bronze
  • Gold-silver
  • Nickel alloy
  • And more

Manual brazing typically uses a brazing rod or wire due to the easy application. Other forms include ribbons, powders, pastes, creams and preforms.

FAQS

What are brazing rods made of?

Brazing rods are typically made from metal alloys like silver, copper, zinc, or phosphorus, chosen for their melting point and bonding strength.

Where are silver brazing alloys commonly used?

Silver brazing alloys are widely used in HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical components, and aerospace for their strength and conductivity.

Can I use silver brazing alloys on stainless steel?

Yes, silver brazing alloys are highly compatible with stainless steel and offer excellent joint integrity without corrosion.

What temperature do brazing rods melt at?

The melting temperature depends on the alloy. Silver brazing alloys typically melt between 600°C to 900°C, depending on the composition.

Are fluxes required when using brazing rods?

Yes, using a suitable flux is essential to prevent oxidation and ensure smooth flow and strong adhesion of the brazing material.

What certifications do your brazing alloys meet?

Our silver brazing alloys meet industry-standard certifications and quality controls for use in critical and high-performance applications.
