AG-05 is a Phos-copper brazing alloy that is primarily used for the joining of copper to copper on vibration free joints. It is most effective for brazing tight fitting copper pipe and tubing. This alloy is self-fluxing on copper joints. However, when used with a copper alloy a brazing flux must be used. The flow point of AG-05 is 1325ºF (718ºC).
The Gasflux Company recognizes that each brazing application is unique. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss your application and recommend the right brazing alloy that best meets your needs.
