BCu92P copper-phosphorus brazing filler metal · Copper-based self-fluxing powder/paste
Low-melting-point, high-conductivity, silver-free soldering—specially formulated for environmentally friendly applications. -50 mesh / -100 mesh
Process Advantages
Self-brazing flux-free
At high temperatures, phosphorus reacts with copper oxide to form a phosphate slag; therefore, brazing of red copper typically does not require an additional flux, simplifying the welding process.
Low-temperature, high efficiency · Moderate melting zone
It has a moderate melting point and an optimal brazing temperature, minimizing thermal distortion in the base material’s heat-affected zone, making it well suited for the rapid brazing of copper and copper alloys.
High electrical conductivity
The weld seam exhibits electrical conductivity comparable to that of the base material, copper, with excellent electrical performance, making it suitable for conductive connections such as power busbars and high-frequency conductors.
Corrosion-resistant · Dense welds
The brazed joint is dense, resistant to humid and mildly acidic environments, and exhibits high long-term service reliability.

BCu92P copper-phosphorus self-fluxing brazing filler metal
BCu92P (corresponding to ISO CuP 181a) is a high-phosphorus copper-based brazing filler metal, representing a grade with relatively high phosphorus content and a low melting point within the copper–phosphorus brazing alloy system. Its elevated phosphorus level imparts excellent self‑fluxing properties, enabling flux‑free brazing of red copper with welds that are dense and exhibit electrical conductivity comparable to pure copper. With a moderate brazing temperature, it is well suited for flame brazing, induction brazing, and resistance brazing. The powder is produced via non‑vacuum atomization combined with precision sieving, with primary particle sizes of −50 mesh (≤300 μm) and −100 mesh (≤150 μm), catering to diverse applications ranging from coarse‑powder soldering to fine‑powder pastes. The brazing paste is formulated by blending the powder with an organic binder (solid content 70–90%), offering ready‑to‑use performance and precise application. Free of silver, this product delivers outstanding cost efficiency, making it an ideal bulk consumable choice for brazing copper and copper alloys. It finds extensive use in air‑conditioning and refrigeration piping, power busbar connections, high‑frequency conductor sealing, and the brazing of copper hardware components.

BCu92P Brazing Process Reference
| Base material combination | Recommended Brazing Temperature (°C) | Flux Usage | Joint characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red copper–red copper | 730-780 | Usually no flux is required (self-fluxing). | The brazed joint is dense and exhibits high electrical conductivity. |
| Red copper–brass | 750-810 | FB102 may be used in small quantities. | Good wetting, with a full brazing angle. |
| Brass - Brass | 770-830 | It is recommended to use FB102. | The brazed joint is bright and exhibits high strength. |
| Copper-steel | 780-840 | FB102/borax is required. | Good compatibility; suitable for non-pressure-bearing components. |
* Pure copper exhibits the best self‑brazing performance; for brass, it is recommended to use a small amount of flux. Induction brazing is best performed at higher temperatures, while flame brazing should be carried out using a neutral flame.
