Aluminum welding wire bercoweld® series

copper

We developed the bercoweld® series for brazing and welding copper and copper alloys. Our complex range of wire electrodes for brazing and welding provides the right product for every application. bercoweld® wires for brazing and welding currently comprises more than 20 alloys of the following material groups: • Low-alloy copper alloys • Tin bronzes • Aluminum bronzes • Copper-nickel alloys • Special alloys Advantages of bercoweld® wires for brazing and welding bercoweld® wires for brazing and welding offers significant advantages. The automotive industry has impressively demonstrated how galvanized sheets can be joined with copper wire without the need for costly reworking. Here, so-called tailored blanks, tailor-made components made from thin sheets of different qualities are laser, hard or high-temperature brazed with bercoweld®. Subsequent treatment and galvanizing of the joint seam are no longer necessary, but the corrosion protection remains intact. This allows enormous cost and energy savings. The advantages of brazing with copper alloys at a glance: • Optimal gap bridging • Low joining temperatures • Low energy consumption • Low heat penetration reduces distortion of the base material • No galvanizing of the joint required In terms of numbers, working with copper brazing wires can result in savings of up to 30 percent in manufacturing costs compared to conventional steel wires. We can look similarly at energy demand: The savings potential here is up to 20 percent. In the context of rising energy prices, in particular due to the imminent taxation of CO2emissions, this area is of particular importance.
