Copper/Phosphorus Alloys
Fos Flo® alloys are Copper based filler metals that are self-fluxing on copper by virtue of their phosphorous content. Because of their self-fluxing nature, you save time and money by eliminating the steps necessary to flux a joint before brazing. However, copper alloys such as brass and bronze should be fluxed with Handy Flux or Sure Flo Brazing Flux to assure a sound braze joint.
The level of phosphorous also changes the fluidity and ductility of the material. The greater the percentage of phosphorous in the filler metal the more fluid the material will be. While this alloy is widely used in the air conditioning and plumbing industries, it is not for use on ferrous or nickel based materials because the joint will become brittle and may fail.
Fos Flo® alloys have many of the same characteristics of the Sil-Fos materials, except that they are free from silver, which significantly reduces the price of the material. Alloy forms available include wire, preforms and powder.

Note: NOTE: The Sil-Fos and Fos-Flo filler metals are for use with copper and copper alloy base metals. Do not use these materials to join ferrous materials as brittle phosphide compounds will be formed at the interface. The Sil-Fos and Fos Flo filler metals have a unique characteristic called the "Flow Point" (listed in parentheses). The "Flow Point" is defined as the temperature at which the filler metal is fluid enough to capillary through a joint even though not completely liquid (i.e. above the liquidus temperature).
