Brazing pastes and powders

Our brazing pastes consist of a filler metal alloy in powder form and where appropriate a flux. These components are held together in a uniform paste by a specially formulated binder system. The end product is a custom made brazing or soldering solution that can offer unique benefits. In particular brazing and soldering pastes are used in production where there is a need to manufacture large numbers of joints.The benefits of using a paste product for soldering or brazing can often only be achieved with the full support of technical teams that understand the products; we are well placed to offer this support globally.

SILVER-FLO 24 brazing paste

Ag Cu Zn Melting Range
24 43 33 6740 - 800oC

 

SILVER-FLO 24 brazing paste is a specially formulated paste product intended for use in semi- automated brazing processes or where the use of a paste offers other advantages. It combines SILVER-FLO 24, a comparatively high melting temperature silver brazing filler metal, in powder form with a flux-binder system selected to match an individual application. The resulting product is a fully dispensable custom-made brazing paste.

SILVER-FLO 55 paint

Ag Cu Zn Sn Melting Range
55 21 22 2 630 - 660oC

 

SILVER-FLO 55 Paint consists of a silver brazing filler metal powder (SILVER-FLO 55) and a brazing flux (EASY-FLO™ Flux Powder) combined in a volatile organic solvent. The proportions of filler metal to flux are optimised to make the paint suitable for brazing small components by most heating methods.

The silver brazing filler metal in this product - SILVER-FLO 55, is cadmium-free. It combines a low brazing temperature with a short melting range, is very free flowing and produces neat joints with small fillets. These characteristics make it an excellent general purpose silver brazing filler metal. 

Joints made with SILVER-FLO 55 Paint are suitable for seawater applications, being resistant to dezincification. The optimum joint gap for this filler metal at brazing temperature is normally 0.05-0.15mm.

ARGO-BRAZE™ brazing pastes

ARGO-BRAZE 502 brazing paste

Ag Cu Zn Ni ISO 17672 Melting Range
50 20 28 2 Ag 450 660 - 705oC

 

ARGO-BRAZE 502 brazing paste is a specially formulated paste product intended for use in semi or fully automated brazing processes, or where the use of a paste offers other advantages. It combines Argo-braze™ 502, a filler metal particularly suitable for tungsten carbide and PCD, in powder form with a flux-binder system selected to match an individual application. The resulting product is a fully dispensable, custom-made brazing paste ideal for brazing tungsten carbide and PCD segments.
