AFM 40 Bronze Alloy
AFM 40 manganese-nickel-aluminum bronze filler metal used for joining and repairing of cast or wrought base metals of similar composition. This filler metal may also be used for surfacing applications where high resistance to corrosion, erosion, or cavitation is required.

 

AFM 46 Bronze Alloy
AFM 46 nickel-aluminum bronze is used for joining and repairing of cast or wrought nickel-aluminum bronze base metals.

AFM Alum-Brnz A1 Bronze Alloy
AFM Aluminum Bronze A1 is an iron-free aluminum bronze. It is recommended for use as a surfacing metal for wear-resistant surfaces having relatively light loads, for resistance to corrosive media such as salt or brackish water, and for resistance to many commonly used acids in varying concentrations and temperatures. It is not recommended for joining.

AFM Alum-Brnz A2 Bronze Alloy
AFM Aluminum Bronze A2 is used for joining aluminum bronzes of similar composition, high strength copper-zinc alloys, silicon bronzes, manganese bronzes, some nickel alloys, many ferrous metals and alloys, and combinations of dissimilar metals. It is also suitable for surfacing wear- and corrosion-resistant bearing surfaces. It is used only in the flat position.

AFM Alum-Brnz A3 Bronze Alloy
AFM Aluminum Bronze A3 is a higher strength aluminum bronze used for joining and repair welding of aluminum bronze castings of similar composition, and for depositing bearing surfaces and wear- and corrosion-resistant surfaces.

AFM Deoxidized Copper - Bronze Alloy
AFM Deoxidized Copper is generally used for the welding of deoxidized and elecrolytic tough pitch copper. Reactions with hydrogen in oxygen-free copper, and the segregation of copper oxide in tough pitch copper may detract from joint efficiency. It can be used to weld these base metals when the highest quality is not required.

AFM Low Fuming Bronze - Bronze Alloy
AFM Low Fuming Bronze is a brazing alloy used on steels, copper, copper alloys, nickel, nickel alloys, and stainless steel. It is used with the torch, furnace, and induction brazing processes. Fluxing is required, and a borax-boric acid flux is commonly used. Joint clearances from 0.002 to 0.005 in. (0.05 to 0.13 mm) are suitable.

AFM NICKEL SILVER Bronze Alloy
AFM Nickel Silver is a brazing filler metal primarily used for brazing tungsten carbide. It is also used with steel, nickel, and nickel alloys. It can be used with all brazing processes. It is unsuitable for furnace brazing in a protective atmosphere.

AFM Phos-Bronze A - Bronze Alloy
AFM Phosphorous Bronze A contains about 5 percent tin and up to 0.35 percent phosphorous added as a deoxidizer. Tin increases wear resistance of the weld metal and slows the rate of solidification by broadening the temperature differential between the liquidus and solidus. This slower solidification increases the tendency to hot shortness. To minimize this effect, the weld pool should be kept small and welding time as short as possible. AFM Phosphorous Bronze A can be used to weld bronze and brass. It also can be used to weld copper if the presence of tin in the weld is not objectionable.

AFM Phos. Bronze C- Bronze Alloy
AFM Phosphorous Bronze C electrodes are used to join phosphor bronzes of similar compositions. It is also useful for joining brasses and, in some cases, for welding them to cast iron and carbon steel. The higher tin content in AFM Phosphorous Bronze C results in weld metals of higher hardness, tensile and yield strength than in the Phosphorous Bronze A weld metal. The weld metals tend to flow sluggishly, requiring preheat and interpass temperatures of at least 400¨¬F (205¨¬C) on heavy sections. Postweld heat treatment may not be necessary, but it is desirable for maximum ductility, particularly if the weld metal is cold worked.

AFM Silicon Bronze - Bronze Alloy
AFM Silicon Bronze is a copper-base alloy containing approximately 3 percent of silicon, it may also contain small percentages of manganese, tin, or zinc. It is used for gas tungsten (GTAW) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) of copper-silicon and copper-zinc base metals, to themselves and also to steel.
