BrazeLet^® F86

Höganäs’ unique iron-chromium based stainless brazing alloy BrazeLet F86 provides high strength joints when brazing stainless steel materials in vacuum or protective atmospheres (dry hydrogen or argon). The brazing alloy is particularly well suited for brazing heat exchangers with strict requirements on corrosion resistance and metal ion leaching, for example in drinking water or purified water applications, and it is completely copper free. 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 F86 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.
