Struggling with Brazing Defects? We Can Help You Fix Them

Estimated reading time 2 minutes

Even the best manufacturing teams encounter brazing issues, such as poor wetting, voids, overheating, and weak joints. Each of these problems can lead to increased time, scrap, and costs.

At SolPro Brazing, we assist customers in overcoming these challenges every day, often recommending simple changes that significantly improve quality and consistency.

Here are the top defects we see:

1️⃣ Overheated Joints
Excess heat leads to oxidation and failed brazes. We can advise on heat-source control, cycle consistency, and optimised alloy choice to prevent this.

2️⃣ Voids & Incomplete Fill
These issues are often related to incorrect joint clearances. Our team can provide advice for customers to establish the proper capillary gap for smooth alloy flow, resulting in stronger, more reliable joints.

3️⃣ Poor Wetting
This is usually caused by contamination or surface oxides. By implementing the right cleaning routine and pairing the correct alloy with the right flux, wetting can improve instantly.

4️⃣ Embrittlement or Weak Joints
This is typically due to alloy mismatches. We assist customers in selecting the appropriate filler metal, especially when joining challenging, dissimilar materials.
