Ti37.5ZrCuNi titanium–zirconium–copper–nickel brazing filler metal · Active brazing alloy
High-Temperature Active Brazing · Specifically for Titanium Alloys and Ceramics Powder / Paste

Ti37.5ZrCuNi is a high‑performance active brazing alloy, offering superior joint strength, excellent high‑temperature and oxidation resistance, and outstanding wettability on titanium alloys and ceramics. It features a cadmium‑free, silver‑free formulation, making it both environmentally friendly and cost‑effective. The powdered filler metal is produced via non‑vacuum atomization, exhibiting excellent sphericity and flowability, and can be further processed into ready‑to‑use brazing pastes suitable for vacuum brazing, protective‑atmosphere brazing, and automated dispensing processes. The core technology team originates from the Powder Metallurgy Research Institute of Central South University.

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℃
