 Brazing - Maximum Assembly Strength & Seal
Caught in a metals joining dilemna? Fasteners provide strength but no seal. Adhesives seal, but aren't strong enough. Achieve both with brazing. Brazing filler metal is placed at the joint between two metals and heated. When molten, it is distributed throughout the joint by capillary attraction. The continuous joint provides a strong, leak-proof seal.
Fusion Paste Alloys deliver all the ingredients for a sound brazed joint in one deposit. Atomized filler metal, flux and special binders are blended into one homogeneous mixture. Automatic dispensers apply the paste in measured amounts - especially cost effective for production brazing operations. www.fusion-inc.com
