Ti37.5ZrCuNi active brazing alloy
Titanium–zirconium–copper–nickel brazing filler metal is an active brazing alloy specially developed for joining titanium alloys, high‑temperature alloys, and ceramics to metals. Among these, the Ti37.5ZrCuNi composition (Ti 37.5%, Zr 37.5%, Cu 15%, Ni 10%) exhibits a moderate melting point of 805–815°C and excellent high‑temperature performance. The Ti and Zr elements in this filler metal possess exceptionally high chemical reactivity, enabling effective wetting of the oxide layer on titanium alloy surfaces and the surface of ceramics, thereby forming strong chemical bonds. This results in brazed joints with high strength and superior resistance to thermal shock. The product is manufactured using vacuum atomization powder technology, with an oxygen content of ≤0.1% and excellent flowability, allowing it to be formulated into both powdered forms (−100 mesh to −300 mesh) and paste forms (mixed with organic carriers). It is suitable for vacuum brazing, argon‑protected brazing, and automated dispensing processes. Typical applications include titanium alloy engine blades and casings, ceramic‑to‑metal transition joints, nuclear reactor cooling pipelines, and X‑ray tube seals.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ti37.5ZrCuNi solder paste | 80-90 | Margin | 30-200 | Automatic dispensing, screen printing, manual application |
* Viscosity can be customized to suit the customer’s dispensing equipment and process; the carrier evaporates completely, leaving minimal residue.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium alloy - TC4 | 880-930 | Vacuum ≤ 5×10⁻³ Pa | ≥350MPa | Excellent wettability, no brittle phases. |
| Titanium alloy–stainless steel | 900-950 | Vacuum or argon gas | ≥300MPa | Brazing time must be controlled to ensure a uniform diffusion layer. |
| Alumina ceramic–oxygen-free copper | 890-940 | Vacuum | ≥150MPa | Surface pre-metallization of ceramics can enhance wettability. |
| Silicon Carbide Ceramic–Titanium Alloy | 920-950 | Vacuum | ≥200MPa | The active elements Ti/Zr promote chemical bonding. |
Powdered vs. Paste Form: Choice of Form
| Form | Advantages | Applicable Process |
|---|---|---|
| Powdered | Uniform composition, excellent flowability, precise metering, and stable storage. | Vacuum brazing pre‑powder, powder spraying, laser cladding, automatic powder feeding |
| Paste-like | Ready-to-use, with precise dotting/printing that won’t run, simplifying application. | Automatic dispensing, screen printing, manual touch-up, coating of complex shapes |
* Titanium-based active brazing alloys are sensitive to oxygen, so brazing must be carried out under high vacuum or in an ultra‑high‑purity argon atmosphere.
