Q:
|
In what
applications is using paste feasible?
|
A:
|
Paste can
be used for torch, induction, and furnace applications.
In these applications flux is usually added to paste
formulation. When using paste in a vacuum or atmosphere
furnace flux does not need to be added to the paste.
|
Q:
|
What is
the proper clearance for brazing?
|
A:
|
In general,
a joint clearance ranging from 0.002"-0.005," will produce
sound high strength joints when flux brazing. When atmosphere
and vacuum brazing, joint clearance should be 0.000"-0.002."
Care does need to be taken when brazing metals with
different coefficients of thermal expansion. The amount
the materials expand needs to be factored in when determining
joint clearance.

Scrap-to-Cash
Program
Turn precious metal scrap into cash
| Lucas-Milhaupt can reclaim
the dollars trapped in materials containing precious metals
of silver, gold, or palladium. We can unlock the value
of your materials through our scrap-to-cash program. Sources
of materials range from the obvious to the obscure. They
include: |
- Scrap and reworked items
- Obsolete inventory
- Stub ends of rods and wire coils
- Floor sweeps
- Wet sludge from sink traps, floor
drains and rinse tanks
- Bench filings, chippings, and
grindings
- Brazing alloy drippings from brazing
fixtures
- Spinning and blanking scrap
- Fuses, circuit breakers and electrical
contacts
|
The scrap-to-cash recover
program also offers businesses an environmentally responsible
and cost saving alternative to more conventional refining
or waste disposal options. A large industrial manufacturer
that used to pay to have braze scrap removed as a hazardous
material now receives payment from Handy & Harman
for the recovered precious metal.
