Book Description

This specification prescribes the requirements for the classification of brazing filler metals for braze and braze welding. The chemical composition, physical form, and packaging of more than 120 brazing filler metals are specified. The brazing filler metal groups described include aluminum, cobalt, copper, gold, magnesium, nickel, silver, titanium, and brazing filler metals for vacuum service. Information is provided concerning the liquidus, the solidus, the brazing temperature range, and general areas of application recommended for each brazing filler metal. Additional requirements are included for manufacture, sizes, lengths, and packaging. A guide is appended to the specification as a source of information concerning the classification system employed and the intended use of the brazing filler metals for braze and braze welding. This specification makes use of the International System of Units (SI) and U.S. Customary Units. Since these are not equivalent, each must be used independently of the other.
