Zinc Brazing Alloy

Zinc brazing alloy is a type of filler metal used in the brazing process. Brazing is a joining process that involves melting the filler metal and using it to bond two or more metal surfaces together.

Zinc brazing alloys are specifically designed for joining zinc-based metals, such as galvanized steel, die-cast zinc, and zinc alloys. These alloys have a lower melting point compared to the base metals, allowing them to be used in brazing applications without damaging the workpiece.

Zinc brazing alloys typically contain a combination of zinc and other elements, such as aluminum, copper, and tin. These additional elements help improve the strength, corrosion resistance, and fluidity of the alloy during the brazing process.

In the supply class Miscellaneous Welding, Soldering, And Brazing Supplies And Accessories, zinc brazing alloys are categorized as a type of filler metal used for brazing applications. They are commonly used in metalworking machinery for various applications, such as automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical industries.

When using zinc brazing alloys, it is important to follow proper safety precautions, such as wearing protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, as the brazing process involves the use of high temperatures and potentially hazardous fumes.
