Titanium Brazing Alloys
Titanium Brazing Alloys are titanium-base (70Ti-15Cu-15Ni), silver-base (various), or aluminum-base (various). Titanium Brazing Alloys require temperatures in the vicinity of 1700 degrees F., whereas the silver and aluminum-base alloys require 1650 degrees F and 1100- 1250 degrees F respectively. If corrosion resistance is important for the Titanium Brazing Alloys, then tests should be run on brazed joints in the intended environment prior to use. Titanium Brazing Alloys reportedly offer superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion and saline environments.
TiCuNi is a type of Titanium Brazing Alloy
TiCuNi Foil (also represented by Ti Cu Ni Foil) is a type of Titanium Brazing Alloy. Before soldering Titanium Brazing Alloys, including Titanium Copper Nickel Foil, the thin oxide layer should be removed. Particularly thick oxide or scale layers on Titanium Brazing Alloys must be removed by mechanical methods such as sand blasting, grinding or brushing, followed by pickling as described above. Cleaning Titanium Brazing Alloys should be carried out directly prior to soldering or brazing and should finish off with thorough rinsing and drying in warm air.
Several alloy brazing techniques are applicable to titanium. These techniques for Titanium Brazing Alloys include induction brazing, resistance brazing and furnace brazing in an argon atmosphere or in vacuum. Torch brazing is not applicable to Titanium Brazing Alloys. Since brazing techniques have the potential for contaminating Titanium Brazing Alloys surfaces, cleanliness is important and consideration should be given to Titanium Brazing Alloys when using argon or helium gas shielding.
