BrazeLet® F300DW-9201

Iron-based brazing alloy

Höganäs’ unique and patented iron-chromium based stainless brazing alloy BrazeLet F300-20 offers excellent wetting properties and great corrosion resistance particularly developed for brazing of stainless steel materials in vacuum or protective atmospheres (dry hydrogen or argon). With excellent wetting properties, low brazing temperature and high corrosion and oxidation resistance it is a good choice for automotive and industrial heat exchangers. It is well suited for drinking water applications with strict requirements on metal ion leaching. Compared to nickel-based brazing alloys it offers a more attractive and stable cost. Compared to most of the standard nickel-based brazing alloys, BrazeLet F300-20 is able to fill larger gaps without brittle phase lines or cracks, which leads to a more reliable and safe brazing as well as more flexibility in part tolerances.

The brazing paste BrazeLet F300DW-9201 can be used for dispensing applications, typically found on heat exchanger inlet and outlet tubes, housing to core joints and hole plate to tube joints. It can be dispensed by using standard air pressure dispensing units. For better precision, screw dispense units are recommended. The paste sticks on all bevel positions without the need of pre-drying but is easily removed using water. The paste formulation offers the highest metal content of our standard dispensing pastes.

BrazeLet F300DW-9201 properties allow reliable application in a wide speed range as a result of the dispensing equipment / automatisation as well as the needle diameter. The paste can be delivered in cartridges for use in automated applications or different sized cans for refilling of smaller cartridges for manual applications. For best performance, it is recommended to first stir the paste.
