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, Ti37.5ZrCuNi exhibits a moderate melting point and excellent high‑temperature performance. The Ti and Zr elements in the alloy 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 non‑vacuum atomized powder, with tightly controlled oxygen content and excellent flowability, allowing it to be formulated into both powder and paste forms. It is compatible with vacuum brazing, argon‑shielded 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.

Powder Particle Size Specifications & Physical Properties
| Particle size specification | Corresponding mesh count | D50 range (μm) | Loose packing density (g/cm³) | Flowability (s/50g) | Recommended Process |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -100 mesh | ≤150μm | 80-120 | ≥3.2 | ≤28 | Coarse powder preset, paste raw material |
| -200 mesh | ≤75μm | 40-65 | ≥3.4 | ≤26 | Paste raw materials, flame brazing, automatic powder feeding |
| -300 mesh | ≤48μm | 25-40 | ≥3.5 | ≤25 | Fine paste, spray coating, vacuum brazing powder |
* The powdered brazing filler metal exhibits excellent fluidity and can be customized as needed; the paste‑type product offers adjustable viscosity.
Creamy formulation
| Product form | Alloy powder content (wt%) | Binder (wt%) | Viscosity (Pa·s) | Recommended Process |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Base material combination | Recommended Brazing Temperature (°C) | Protective atmosphere/vacuum level | Joint strength | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium alloy - TC4 | 880-930 | Vacuum ≤ 5×10⁻³ Pa | Excellent | Excellent wettability, no brittle phases. |
| Titanium alloy–stainless steel | 900-950 | Vacuum or argon gas | Excellent | Brazing time must be controlled to ensure a uniform diffusion layer. |
| Alumina ceramic–oxygen-free copper | 890-940 | Vacuum | Excellent | Surface pre-metallization of ceramics can enhance wettability. |
| Silicon Carbide Ceramic–Titanium Alloy | 920-950 | Vacuum | Excellent | 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 with pre-placed powder, powder spraying, laser cladding, and automated powder feeding. |
| Paste-like | Ready-to-use, with precise dotting/printing that won’t run, simplifying application. | Automatic dispensing, screen printing, manual repair, 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.
Compared with traditional silver-based brazing alloys
| Comparison item | Ti37.5ZrCuNi | Silver-based brazing alloys (e.g., AgCuTi) |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Temperature (Long-Term) | High-temperature resistant | ≤500℃ |
| Joint strength | Excellent | Good |
| Wetting of titanium alloys | ✓ Excellent | Good |
| On ceramic wetting | ✓ Good | Pre-metallization required |
| Cost | Silver-free, lower | High silver content |
Ti37.5ZrCuNi is the material of choice for high-temperature titanium alloys and ceramic brazing, offering a cost-performance ratio far superior to that of silver-based active brazing fillers.
