Harris® 0 phos-copper brazing alloy 3/32 x 3/32 x 36 in. x 1 ea. 25 lb. box.
The Harris 0 Phos Copper Brazing Alloy 3/32" SQ x 36" 25 lb Box - 0536S is a phosphor-copper brazing alloy (BCuP-2). Phos-copper alloys are self-fluxing on copper and copper alloys — no separate flux is required when brazing copper to copper. However, flux IS required when brazing copper to brass, bronze, or steel. These alloys are widely used in HVAC/R applications for copper tubing joints.
- Compatible families: Phos-Copper
- Available diameters: 3/32"
Brazing alloys are selected by the base-metal pairing and the joint clearance. Silver content and flux requirements drive both cost and strength of the finished joint.
Harris 0 Phos Copper brazing filler metal is a low cost alloy use for many copper-to-copper applications where moderate fit-up can be maintained and brazing temperature is not critical. Complies with the EU Reach & RoHS directive.
- Economical choice for copper brazing
- Copper is self-fluxing, so no manual flux application is required
- Alloy flows quickly at brazing temperature requiring close joint tolerance, less than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm)
- Primarily used in manual brazing applications
- Suitable for brazing brass
- When brazing brass, operators should avoid over heating and use Stay Silv white brazing flux
- Not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base metals
- Corrosion resistance is generally similar to the copper base metal, but phosphorus containing alloys, including Harris 0, should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service
- Recommended joint clearance of 0.002 in. - 0.005 in. (0.05 mm - 0.13 mm)
- Complies with the EU Reach & RoHS directive
