A copper based filler metal that is self-fluxing on copper by virtue of its phosphorous content. Because of its self-fluxing nature, time and money is saved as a result of the elimination of necessary steps to flux a joint before brazing. However, copper alloys such as brass and bronze should be fluxed with our Taurus Flux to assure a sound braze joint.
Our Taurus Copper Braze 6% Phosphorous, 0% Silver is a copper based filler metal that is self-fluxing on copper by virtue of its phosphorous content. Because of its self-fluxing nature, time and money is saved as a result of the elimination of necessary steps to flux a joint before brazing. However, copper alloys such as brass and bronze should be fluxed with our Taurus Flux to assure a sound braze joint. While this filler metal is widely used in the air conditioning and plumbing industries, it is not recommended for ferrous or nickel-based materials because the joint will become brittle and may fail. The copper phosphor alloys vary in silver content from 18% to 2% and the percentage of silver and phosphorous does change the melt and flow characteristics of the filler metal.
