Brazing of Tubes, Pipes for Transporting Liquid and Gases

Brazing of gas valves

Gas valves and fittings made from copper alloys such as brass demand a high level of brazing alloy cover in the joint. Aufhauser SilverAlloy A-56T is a very free flowing filler metal that will provide good joint penetration and alloy flow into joint gaps of between 0.05-0.125mm (0.002-0.005") at brazing temperature.

Brazing of cutting torches

The specification of brazing materials suitable for use in oxy-acetylene cutting and welding equipment is controlled by the standards EN29539 / ISO 9539 - Materials for equipment used in gas welding cutting and allied processes. These standards state that the brazing alloys must not contain more than 46% of silver and 37% of copper. Furthermore the standard states that the brazing connections must be designed and completed in such a way that the area of the joint that is exposed to acetylene must be as small as possible and that flux residues must be removed after brazing. Aufhauser SilverAlloy A-45T meets these requirements as well as providing a cost effective and free flowing filler metal.

Brazed copper pipes for medical gas installations

Copper to copper joints for medical gas pipe-work are often brazed using a silver copper phosphorus brazing filler metal. Aufhauser PhosCopper alloys are recommended for this application. Dissimilar metals such as brass and copper shall be joined using an appropriate flux with either Aufhauser PhosCopper alloys or Aufhauser SilverAlloy brazing filler metals.
