Meta-Braze™ 064
Meta-Braze™064 is a specialised product which does not contain zinc making it suitable for components that will be PVD coated using titanium nitride or similar after brazing.
Silver Brazing Alloys for Tungsten Carbide and PCD
Product Uses and Applications
VBC Group specialise in supplying products for the brazing of hard materials such as tungsten carbide. We understand the issues that can occur when brazing tungsten carbide and PCD and have products and technical solutions to assist customers in this field.

It contains nickel for improved strength and wetting and is recommended for small-medium sized carbide segments (<20mm). In these applications it provides a slightly thicker joint than more free-flowing alloys such as Meta-Braze™155. This factor can help with absorbing stresses arising from the different expansion and contraction rates of the parent materials during the brazing process. Meta-Braze™450 can be easier to use than Meta-Braze™449 because it does not contain manganese which affects alloy flow and appearance. Meta-Braze™ 450 is also available as a Meta-Braze Advanced™ product with flux incorporated into the product, in a channel or central core, for repeatable and controlled brazing.

It contains both nickel and manganese which have been shown to improve wetting of the brazing alloy especially on the more difficult to braze grades of tungsten carbide. Meta-Braze™449 is particularly suitable for small-medium sized carbide segments (<20mm). In these applications it provides a slightly thicker joint than more free-flowing alloys such as Meta-Braze™155. This factor can help with absorbing stresses arising from the different expansion and contraction rates of the parent materials during the brazing process. Product FormsDownloads× |

Meta-Braze™049 is very widely used for brazing of tungsten carbide and PCD segments in applications such as cutting tools, wear parts and drill bits. It contains both nickel and manganese which have been shown to improve wetting of the brazing alloy especially on the more difficult to braze grades of tungsten carbide.

Meta-Braze™450 can be easier to use than Meta-Braze™049 because it does not contain manganese which affects alloy flow and appearance. It is also possible to supply a braze paste that replicates the 'trifoil' principle with a specially formulated addition to the paste. Product Forms× |
