Induction Brazing of Copper Parts Using Amorphous Brazing Alloys

Abstract:

Brazing alloys with amorphous structure have excellent technological properties (tensile, wetting), having a self-fluxing character. The brazed joints have good mechanical and corrosion resistance. In this work an amorphous alloy, ribbon form, for brazing of copper pipe components, was elaborated. The brazed joints were analyzed by optical and electronic microscopy. The brazing alloy is self-fluxing and has good tensile and wetting properties. The structure in the brazed joint is monophasic due to the optimization of the process parameters (voltage and brazing time).
