Description / Abstract:
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.
