Meta-Braze™ Silver Brazing Fluxes for Tungsten Carbide and PCD Segments
Special brown boron modified (BM) fluxes are recommended for brazing grades of tungsten carbide which prove difficult for the brazing alloy to wet. Standard silver brazing fluxes are often preferred where wetting isn’t an issue and where use of a white flux is preferable to allow the joint to be seen during brazing.
