Brazing alloy filler for joining cemented carbide to steel
Abstract
Abstract A copper base brazing alloy consisting of, in percent by weight, 25 to 40 manganese, 0 to 10 nickel, 0 to 10 iron, 0 to 6 indium and 0 to 10 tin with the combination of tin and indium being not less than 2, and the balance essentially copper, is suitable for brazing cemented carbide to steel in a temperature range 815 DEG -900 DEG C. (1500 DEG -1650 DEG F.). The brazing temperature of these filler alloys are at least 100 DEG F. lower than those of non-precious brazing filler alloys of the prior art used for this application and are considerably less expensive than prior art precious metal brazing alloys currently being used. The resulting cemented carbide to steel joints have high shear strength and good ductility.
