 About Us
Pietro Galliani Brazing S.p.A (PGB) has been working in the field of metal
processing for more than 100 years. PGB is located in Vergato, Italy, about

About 50kms south of Bologna.  PGB has been a European leader in the
production of brazing products since 1995.

Us Our Customer Focus

Our mission is to help our customers optimise their brazing processes.
We achieve this mission by understanding the current and future needs
of our customers and developing, producing and marketing the right
products and services for them.

100% Made in Italy

Our Beliefs
We believe Europe is a strategic region for the production of our
products. Unlike most of our competitors we have not out-sourced our
production to China or other “low cost” regions. We believe that efficient
SISTEMA DI GESTIONE
production, fast service, excellent quality and qualified personnel will
CERTIFICATO
give us a distinct advantage over our competitors. In the past 2 years
PGB has invested millions of Euros in its factory in Italy, and continues to
modernize its processes and invest in R&D.
Quality Awareness
We are committed to increasing the
quality of our brand.

General specifications for

correct application
Properties of the joint Brazing is characterised by the concept of capillarity that is the ability of the brazing alloy
to run into the air space of the joint. For correct filling of the joint the properties of the
base metals and the brazing alloy must be considered. The distance between the surfaces
to be joined has to be determined at the brazing temperature.
For an optimal resistance of the brazed joint a good rule to adopt, for flat surfaces, is
an overlap equivalent to about 3 times the smaller thickness of the above mentioned
surfaces of a minimum of 5 mm.

Choice of the brazing alloy Is made on the basis of the material to be joined and economic considerations (% of
silver) related to the level of difficulty of the application which generally, is directly
proportional to the melting range of the alloy.

Preparation of the joint Before the brazing, the surfaces to be joined should be cleaned by removing grease, using
solvents or hot water, and oxides using mechanical brushing.

Application of flux The choice of flux is as important as that of the alloy. The flux applied to the surfaces to
be joined should melt and become active at a temperature lower than that of the melting
point of the alloy.
Its activity should continue for the whole brazing cycle removing the oxides from the two
metals or preventing their formation.

Heating of the joint and The heating can be carried out using a torch fed by fuels such as acetylene, propane or
application of the alloy natural gas, or by using induction or resistance electrical systems.
The purpose is to heat uniformly the joint at the right brazing temperature depending
on the chosen alloy and its properties, which determine the optimal heating ratio. The
alloy should normally be applied only when the temperature required is reached for rapid
melting and fast distribution along all the surfaces of the joint by capillary attraction.
The melted alloy always flows towards the hottest part of the joint, this to be obtained
possibly by an indirect flame in case of the use of a torch.

Removing of residual flux Once the solidification of the brazing alloy has taken place, the joint can be cooled down
4 in water to remove the remaining flux being careful not to damage the brazed elements.
 Guide to the choice of Alloys
Alloys with tin Are susceptible to rapid cooling especially those with components very different to each
other.

Alloys with silicium Not recommended on junctions exposed to impacts, vibrations, fatigue stresses because
the silicon can make very brittle intermetallic compounds.

Alloys for salty environments Are those of a high content of silver (>40%) with or without tin. In these alloys,
particularly requested for ship and marine construction, the loss of zinc by galvanic
process is reduced.

Alloys for step by step brazing Normally are those with a narrow melting range. They are chosen with melting point
progressively lower to avoid phenomena of re-melting of the adjacent joints, previously
made.

Nickel and its alloys Are materials susceptible to cracks during the brazing, caused by intergranular
penetration or stress. It is advisable that the alloys have a low quantity of zinc and high
brazing temperature.

Alloys for tungsten carbides These are alloys specifically designed for tungsten carbide. The presence of nickel and
manganese increases the wetting difficulty of these materials. Preferable are alloys
with a low melting point for small carbides. Particularly indicated the compound alloys
(triple metal sheets), with an interconnected layer of copper able to absorb shock and
vibrations. The carbides have very low expansion coefficients and different to the metals
of the supports, therefore re-heating has to be carried out slowly and uniformly to avoid
cracks. Rapid cooling after brazing should be avoided.

Alloys for stainless steel Their choice should consider the operating condition with particular reference to the
presence of humidity or water. In fact in these cases failures can occur for interface
corrosion alloy-stainless steel.
Particularly susceptible are steels without nickel, with a low content of nickel and from
the series 400-410-420-430, unlike austenitic steel of the series 300 which are the most
resistant.

Copper Alloys Indicated for copper brazing and, with the use of flux, its alloys (bronze, brass). The best
results are obtained by narrow clearances. Due to the high conductivity it is advisable to
heat rapidly with the torch. Not suitable on ferrous and stainless materials as they can
form brittle inter-metallic compounds.

With refined copper containing dissolved oxides it is the best to use a neutral or slightly
oxidizing flame to avoid the formation of cavities caused by reduction of oxides, as
hydrogen embrittlement.

Alloys with phosphor should be avoided in presence of gases containing high levels of
sulphur. They are successfully used in sanitary and medical piping because they do not
contain zinc and they do not run the risk of galvanic dezincification.
