Copper-based brazing alloys refer to a class of brazing filler materials whose primary base element is copper (Cu). Brazing is a joining process in which the filler metal—whose melting point is lower than that of the base materials (the workpieces being joined)—is heated until it melts. The molten filler then wets the base materials, fills the gaps at the joint, and, through mutual dissolution and diffusion with the base materials, forms a strong bond between the workpieces.
Silver-based brazing filler metal is a brazing material whose primary component is silver (Ag). It is typically available in the form of wires, sheets, strips, or powders.

Adding elements such as manganese, nickel, and cobalt to copper-zinc brazing filler metal can improve wettability and significantly increase the strength of the brazed joint. When Mn is added, the tensile strength of joints brazed with YG8, YT5, YT15, and other cemented carbides can reach 300-320 MPa at room temperature. At 320°C, it still maintains 220-240 MPa. The addition of nickel can further enhance the wettability of the filler metal to cemented carbides, resulting in better brazing microstructure and performance, and improving the impact toughness and fatigue impact strength of cemented carbide tools.
