Braze Alloys
Ticusil® Technical Information
High-purity Active Braze Alloy of silver, copper and titanium developed for direct application to ceramic surfaces
Key Benefits
- Wets and bonds to virtually any metallic surface, as well as to non-metallics such as oxides, nitrides and carbides
- Allows ceramic-to-ceramic and ceramic-to-metal surfaces to be brazed without metallising, firing and electroplating
- Cuts time and costs in manufacture of ceramic/metal assemblies
- Produces strong, highly reliable and vacuum-tight brazed joints
Typical Applications
- One step ceramic brazing
Nominal Composition:
- Silver (Ag): 68.8%
- Copper (Cu): 26.7%
- Titanium (Ti): 4.5%
Suggested Base Materials
- Copper, Kovar, Nickel, Carbon/ low alloy & Tool/high speed steel, Stainless steel, Ni-super alloys, Titanium, Refractory metals, Ceramics, Graphite, Diamond, Tungsten Carbide
