BrazeLet^® F300DW-9007

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 water-based brazing paste BrazeLet F300DW-9007 can be used for dispensing applications, typically found on heat exchanger inlet and outlet tubes, housing to core joints and hole plates to tube joints. It dries quickly and sticks to all bevel and vertical positions without the need of pre-drying. It can be easily removed with water. The paste has a very low polymer content and the binder is specially designed to decompose cleanly at low temperatures, as to minimise need for furnace maintenance, while preventing pre-oxidation of brazing filler metal powder in marginal furnace atmospheres. It shows extremely good residue-free brazing results in both vacuum and continuous belt furnace brazing. 

BrazeLet F300DW-9007 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. It can be frozen and brought back to room temperature for use without any damage to its properties.
