Can Stainless Steel Be Brazed In Vacuum Below A Temperature Of 1700° F? |
|
Answer» Stainless cannot be VACUUMED brazed in at a temperature below 1700° F because of the POSSIBILITY of chrome-oxide formation which will prohibit the flow of the filler metal alloy on the stainless steel. A brazing temperature of at least 1750° F is USUALLY recommended in vacuum for stainless steel. If the stainless steel is nickel plated it can be brazed at temperatures lower than 1700° F. Stainless cannot be vacuumed brazed in at a temperature below 1700° F because of the possibility of chrome-oxide formation which will prohibit the flow of the filler metal alloy on the stainless steel.
