BCuP-2 PhosCopper Brazing Rod - 0% Silver - Flat - 1/8" x 0.05" x 20"
Phos-Copper 0% is a low-cost brazing filler metal suitable for joining copper to copper and copper to copper alloys where critical impact or vibration stresses are not encountered in service. It should only be used on assemblies where a good fit can be maintained. Application assemblies include heat exchanger return bends, hot water cylinders and refrigeration points. Phos-Copper 0% is a copper-rich, intermediate temperature, brazing filler metal that is moderately free-flowing and self-fluxing on copper (only) by virtue of its phosphorus content. It liquates slightly more than a 7% Phosphorus Copper when heated rapidly. Induction Brazing will produce better mechanical properties in general than torch brazing. Best results are obtained with joint clearances of .001-.003" The self-fluxing property of Phos-Copper 0% is effective on copper only. Copper base alloys, such as brass or bronze, may be brazed with Phos-Copper 0% if the joints are coated with flux. Phos-Copper 0% should not be
