Brazing
Core Introduction to Brazing Materials
Brazing filler metal is the core filling material in a brazed joint, and its properties directly determine the quality of the weld. Tianjiu brazing fillers all possess Compatible with melting point, excellent wettability, and filling capability It can achieve full mutual diffusion with the base material while exhibiting superior mechanical properties and excellent corrosion- and high-temperature-resistant physicochemical characteristics, thereby perfectly meeting the performance requirements of various welding applications.
Brazing alloys are classified into two main categories based on their melting point:
- Brazing alloy : Melting point ≥ 450°C; available in copper-based, silver-based, nickel-based, and aluminum-based alloy series, suitable for welding under high-strength and demanding service conditions.
- Soft solder : Melting point < 450°C; primarily based on tin-based alloys; soldering temperature 200–400°C; widely used in electronics, precision instruments, and other fields.
Copper-based brazing alloy
Key features: Based on a copper matrix, with additions of phosphorus, silver, zinc, tin, manganese, nickel, cobalt, titanium, and other elements to optimize melting point and overall performance; exhibits excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high strength, and superior corrosion resistance; suitable for brazing to copper and copper alloys, carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, and cemented carbides.

Aluminum-based brazing alloy
Key features: Based on aluminum-silicon eutectic and aluminum-copper-silicon eutectic alloys, this product incorporates additional elements such as copper, zinc, manganese, and magnesium to form a multi-component alloy specifically designed for brazing aluminum and aluminum alloys. It is compatible with flame, furnace, and vacuum brazing processes; however, for non-vacuum brazing, a dedicated aluminum brazing flux must be used, and all residual flux must be thoroughly removed after brazing.
