TECHNICAL DATASHEET Brazing alloy in paste BrazeTec 1090 Technical data: Melting range (°C) Working temperature (°C) Melting range according to DSC measurement (°C) Minimum brazing temperature (°C) Operating temperature of brazed joint (°C) Metal content (%) of total weight Grain size of brazing alloy powder (µm) Viscosity (dPas) Cleaning agent Flux type within the paste Shelf life Absent 6 months, but only in the original sealed container at storage temperatures between +5 to +30°C Applications Refrigeration and air conditioning industry, heating system, automotive Operating conditions Homogeneous mixture of nickel based powder. Finely dissolved in a binder system water based; dosable or spreadable manually. Good flow, capillarity and mechanical strength characteristics. Used for joints in steel, stainless steel, nickel, nickel alloys, cobalt, cobalt alloys, and in certain conditions special alloys. Heat source Furnace in vacuum and under protective atmosphere Standard packaging Jar Notes A drying process at temperatures between 90°C and 120°C is required to evaporate water and to ensure a minimum temperature of 70°C of the joint. Brazing process should be carried out at a temperature of 450°C for a certain time to ensure no binder residues by evaporating.
