MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314

Description

The MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314 is a high-performance Cu-P (copper-phosphorus) brazing filler rod that contains 14% silver, which significantly enhances its brazing properties. The combination of copper and phosphorus with silver provides a superior brazing material that is highly effective in creating strong, reliable joints.

One of the key features of the MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314 is its excellent flow and high ductility. The filler rod’s superior flowability allows it to spread easily into joints, ensuring a smooth, consistent bond even in applications where the fit is less than perfect. This is especially useful when brazing parts with uneven surfaces or slight misalignment. The high ductility of the rod ensures that the brazed joints remain flexible and resistant to cracking, making them highly durable and long-lasting under varying stress conditions.

Designed specifically for copper-to-copper brazing, the MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314 offers the significant advantage of not requiring flux. This feature simplifies the brazing process, as no external flux is necessary to prevent oxidation or improve the flow. The absence of flux reduces the chances of contamination, eliminates the need for post-brazing cleanup, and speeds up the brazing operation. It makes the MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314 particularly convenient for applications where flux is typically a hassle, such as in precision work or where cleanliness is crucial.

However, when brazing copper alloys, flux is needed. This is because copper alloys typically have different properties compared to pure copper, such as higher melting points or different oxidation behavior, which may require the use of flux to ensure proper bonding. The flux prevents oxidation and helps the filler metal flow more effectively into the joint.

The 14% silver content in the MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314 improves its strength, corrosion resistance, and overall durability, making it suitable for high-stress applications where joint integrity is crucial. The lower melting point of the filler rod reduces thermal stress on the base materials during brazing, minimizing the risk of damage or distortion to the components being joined.

Overall, the MAXIDURA – BRAS 3314 is ideal for applications where clean, strong, and durable brazed joints are required, particularly in plumbing, refrigeration, HVAC systems, electrical connections, and other industries that use copper-based components. Its flux-free copper-to-copper brazing capabilities, combined with excellent flow and ductility, make it a versatile and efficient choice for a wide range of brazing tasks. When working with copper alloys, the addition of flux ensures that the rod remains effective in achieving high-quality, reliable joints.
