3 All-State®
No. 101 and 101FC Trucote®
General
Purpose Silver Brazing Alloy Torch
or Induction Application General
Characteristics A
general purpose 45% silver brazing alloy, All-State®
No. 101 is designed to have very narrow working temperature
so the alloy constituents do not liquify and separate when heated slowly such
as in furnace brazing. This
alloy has excellent capillary flow on ferrous and nonferrous metals or combinations
of both (excluding white metals).
Typical Applications*
Joining metal combinations in both
production and maintenance applications. Particularly suited for tight fitting
lap, butt, and
“T” joints. Due to its low temperature, it is ideal for use on light
gauge material. Qualities
Tensile strength
—up
to 52,000 psi (36.57 kgs/mm2) Working
temperature —1125°-1145°F
(607°-618°C) Corrosion
resistance —good
AWS A5.8, Class BAg-1
Procedures Thoroughly
clean joint area. To obtain high strengths, joint clearance should not exceed
.003". Apply All-State® No.
110 or S-200 Flux to joint area; if
necessary, thin with alcohol or water. No flux is required when using TRUCOTE®
101FC (Flux coated)
rod. Heat work with slightly carburizing flame until flux turns clear. Melt off
enough alloy to fill joint
completely, keeping torch in constant motion. Allow to cool slowly and then remove
flux with hot water.
