BRAZING FILLER METALS

Brazing is a method to join 2 metals by means of another molten metal (brazing rod) under additional use of flux or shielding gas. The melting temperature of the brazing rod is below the one of the metals to join.These metals are brought to sweat without being molten.The brazing temperature is the same as the melting temperature of the brazing rod.

UTP Filler metals for brazing and soldering

The working temperature is the lowest surface temperature at which the brazing rod can malt, flow and bind the base metal.To achieve this, the brazing rod does not always have to be completely molten.Very often the working temperature is between the solidus* and the Liquidus**, which is within the melting interval. The working temperature is, however, always higher than the solidus temperature of the brazing rod.

Depending the working temperature, the methods are called soldering with soft solder (below 450 C) and brazing with brazing filler metals (above 450 C).The term Brazing temperature is also used, meaning the actual temperature on the surface of the work piece at the moment of the actual brazing. The brazing temperature has to be at the minimum as low as the working temperature and as a maximum at a hight which is not damaging the brazing rod, the base metal or the flux. * Solidus temperature = border temperature, below is no molten metal ** Liquidus temperature = border temperature, above is only molten metal

The chief purpose of the flux is to dissolve the oxide layers formed continuously with the heating of the workpiece, and quite generally to shield the joint against all detrimental outside influences. The composition of the flux must be matched to the type of parent metal. lt should be liquid and capillary-active about 100 C below the working temperature of the solder, so that the joint to be soldered is thouroughly wetted and the surface tension of the solder is reduced. Some UTP fluxes are available to the user both in powder and paste form (e. g. for silver brazing filler metal AGX powder of AGF paste). Paste fluxes are handier to use, because they adhere in any position and not just on horizontal surfaces.They can also be applied to the cold workpiece to protect the surface from

oxidation during preheating, whereas powder would be blown away in part by the torch flame. Compared with pastes mixed by the user, pastes suplied ready for use by the maker possess superior homogeneity and higher efriciency. The UTP material sheets indicate the particular fluxes which according to our experience have acquitted themselves best for all-round duty. For general soldering operations therefore, the flux types quoted on the material sheet for the solder are quite adequate. Often however problems arise in connection with awkward soldering positions, post-treatments, workpiece dimensions, special heating sources (e. g. high-frequency induction), batch production etc., calling for the use of special fluxes. In such cases the UTP Advisory Service is available to our customers at all times.

BRAZING FILLER METALS

Application After cleaning the brazing zone down to the bright metal and degreasing with tri- or tetra-chloroethylene for difficult joints, the correct amount of flux is applied.Too much flux or too little will result in difficulty when removing the residues. In addition insufficient flux means inadequate oxidation protection during soldering, moreover the oxides will not be dissolved completely. Removing flux residues for silver brazing filler metals Flux type

The information below should help to provide a general overview of the UTP fluxes:
Gap width This must be chosen so that sufficient flux can get into the soldering gap to dissolve the oxides formed there. Experience indicates an optimal gap width of about 0,05 - 0,1 mm for silver solders. For brazing metals it is about 0,2 mm, for aluminium up to 0,5 mm, for soft solders about 0,1 mm.

Diluting the fluxes The brazing and silver soldering fluxes may generally be mixed to a paste with distilled water, or if necessary diluted.The best wetting ability is obtained by mixing or diluting with HERKUL.

The choice of acid or lye concentration depends an the parent metal employed. As corrosion-proof materials, stainless steels for instance are pickled with highly concentrated nitric acid (E). The soldering and pickling agents must be removed afterwards by rinsing with water, which may be neutralized, in particular with sodium bicarbonate solution (NaHCO3) for aluminium.
