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:
RBCuZn-D is not interchangeable with other materials like silicon bronzes (e.g., ERCuSi-A) or nickel alloys. It is specifically engineered for exclusive use with Cu-Zn base metals or in dissimilar joints that demand superior seawater resistance.
