BRAZING The brazing process has been used to join metal parts for over 3000 years. Whilst there have been many developments in products and manufacturing processes available, the basic principle remains unchanged. In contrast to welding, where the joining process involves melting the base material and therefore changing the structure, brazing takes place below the melting temperature of the parent metal and uses capillary attraction and/or fusion to produce the finished result. If used correctly, the process allows very strong joints to be obtained without introducing undesirable stresses, strains and metal dilution. Eutectic & Castolin brazing consumables have been developed over many years to combine the very best in product performance, economy and ease of use. Used in combination with the corresponding Castolin Eutectic flux, in either paste or powder form, wherever appropriate, these materials allow both rapid and cost-effective production techniques to be employed. With an extensive product range available, from soft solders through silver soldering to bronze brazing, we can offer solutions to many joining problems beyond the scope of other joining materials. Using the technology of brazing, along with the application of carefully selected grades of tungsten carbide, a range of hard facing products is also available to extend the wear life of components without the distortion often associated with other hard facing techniques. Similarly, the combination of a brazing matrix and cutting action carbide grades up to 6.0mm, enables the very cost-effective construction of complex and/or large cutting drills and bits.
