RBCuZn-D Brass Welding/Brazing Filler Metal: Premium Technical Summary
Recognized AWS A5.8 Designation: RBCuZn-D (traditionally famed as 'Naval Brass')
Distinctive Material Type: Uniquely formulated Copper-Zinc alloy (Cu-Zn-Sn system) with a touch of tin to significantly enhance corrosion resistance.
Essential Key Use: Expert Joining of copper alloys, steel, and cast iron where the resistance to seawater and chemical corrosion is paramount.
Table 1: Detailed Composition (Weight %)
Cu | Zn | Sn | Fe | Pb | Si | Impurities |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
58.0-61.0% | Rem. | 0.5-1.5% | 0.25-1.0% | ≤0.10% | 0.04-0.25% | ≤0.50% total |
Crucial Key Elements:
Sn (Tin): Boosts resistance to seawater dezincification.
Fe (Iron): Fortifies strength and augments wear resistance.
Reduced Pb/Si: Effectively minimizes hot cracking during intricate welding processes.
As-Deposited Features:
Tensile Strength: 410-510 MPa for reliable performance under stress.
Hardness: 85-105 HB ensuring durability.
Melting Range: 885-900°C (solidus-liquidus), ideal for various applications.
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Outstanding in seawater, marine atmospheres, and against mild acids/alkalis.
Marine Engineering: Ideal for ship propellers, seawater piping, and condenser tubes.
Industrial Applications: Perfect for heat exchangers, pump components, and valve bodies.
Repair & Maintenance: Joining/building up manganese bronzes and high-tensile brasses.
Process Compatibility:
Oxy-Acetylene Welding (OAW): Highly preferred for precise cast iron repairs.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG): Optimal for precision joints (employ DCEN polarity).
Critical Parameters:
Flux Requirement: AWS Type FB3-A or borax-based flux is essential to prevent oxidation and ensure quality.
Preheat: 150-260°C is advised for thick sections/cast iron to enhance results.
Interpass Temperature: Maintain ≤200°C to effectively avoid Zn fuming.
Zinc Fume Hazard: Be aware, stay safe from hazardous emissions.: Ensure adequate protection with local exhaust ventilation (LEV) and make sure to use OSHA-approved respirators for optimal safety.
Storage: Preserve the integrity of your materials.: Store in sealed containers with less than 40% humidity to effectively prevent oxidation and maintain quality.
Form Availability: Find the perfect fit for your needs.: Available in rods with diameters ranging from 3-6 mm, and in coils for flexible application.
Filler | Composition | Key Use Case |
---|---|---|
RBCuZn-D | Cu-Zn-Sn-Fe | Marine corrosion resistance |
RBCuZn-C | Cu-Zn-Si (no Sn/Fe) | General-purpose brazing |
ERCuSn-A | Cu-Sn (phosphor bronze) | Bronze welding, bearings |
Critical Note: Essential information for correct application.:
RBCuZn-D is not interchangeable with silicon bronzes like ERCuSi-A or nickel alloys. It is designed specifically for use with Cu-Zn base metals or in applications requiring seawater resistance for dissimilar joints.
