Braze Tape Technical Advice

Braze alloy in the form of tape is primarily intended to be used for honeycomb brazing.  The honeycomb segments of rings may be supplied with the tape pre-applied or the end user may apply the tape themselves.  This advice sheet will offer advice and tips to get the best results from brazing with braze tape.…

Key advantages of brazing (& soldering) with paste

There are a number of benefits associated with brazing and soldering with paste over other types of braze and solder media such as preforms. Brazing with paste lends itself in particular to fully-automated high production environments but also to lower production semi-automated processes. That said, it is perfectly possible to achieve sound and economically brazed…

The importance of correct procedures

The real skill lies in the engineering of the joint, however even with the best planning in the world it can go wrong if procedures aren’t followed. Using an example of brazing with a hand-held torch and hand-fed filler metal we’ll discuss core steps that apply not only to hand held, but across mass production…

Powder Vs Paste Flux

Flux is a chemical compound, and is in most cases made in powder, liquid, slurry or paste. So what is the difference between powder fluxes and paste in terms of usability? Powder fluxes are necessary for specialised applications in order for the flux to work properly when connecting a join. Particularly in a furnace brazing…

Choosing Flux for silver brazing

Flux is a chemical compound, and is in most cases made in powder, liquid, slurry or paste. Once the flux is active by temperature increase it has three primary functions: Excluding Oxygen during the heating process to prevent oxidation of the metals. Assist the flow of the alloy by creating freshly cleaned surfaces for the…
