Brazing Stainless Steel Sheet Metal

Brazing in air with flux.

Brazing stainless steel sheet metal.

Brazing in air with flux. Wipe the areas on the metal pieces that will be joined with the emery cloth so the surfaces are free from dust and grease. Apply the brazing rod to the joint while continuing to heat the metal surfaces. This process can yield strong joints that are ductile clean and smooth.

In most cases an overlapped joint will be stronger and braze together easier than a gapped joint. Position the metal as desired. If needed use clamps to secure the pieces in position. Brazing stainless steels introduction.

The selection of suitable filler metal for brazing stainless is based on the mechanical properties of the joints on their corrosion resistance on the service conditions including operating temperature stresses and environment on heat treatment requirements on the brazing stainless temperature and on the heating method. Brazing requires less energy than welding and can be used to join dissimilar metals. Brazing under reducing atmosphere. Apply this paste to the areas on the metal pieces that will be joined using the brush.

The three main methods in common use for brazing stainless steels are. However a key advantage is that many dissimilar metals can be joined to stainless steels by brazing. Heat the joint where the two pieces of metal will meet until the joint glows. Specializing in brazing and annealing for chromium alloys such as stainless steel we treat other materials as well including carbon steel mild steel and copper.

Mix a small amount of flux with water to form a paste.
