Purpose:

This specification covers the engineering requirements for producing brazed joints in parts fabricated from steels, iron alloys, nickel alloys, cobalt alloys, and copper alloys by use of silver alloys, and the properties of such joints.

Application:

This procedure has been used typically for joints requiring high strength up to 400 °F (204 °C), but usage is not limited to such applications.

Warning:

Numerous scientific studies have determined that cadmium, which is used in some brazing alloys, presents a health hazard to persons if inhaled.

Safety - Hazardous Materials:

While the materials, methods, applications and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
