Hydraulic Lines

Brazing is used in joining the different components of hydraulic lines. Flame brazing is the most suitable technique for this purpose but other methods like, induction brazing, furnace brazing, etc can also be used as well. Hydraulic lines are used in a number of industries for different purposes.


Composition: For brazing the hydraulic lines the brazing alloys based on phosphorous is mainly used. When joining copper to copper, there is almost no need of fluxes because phosphorous minimizes the need of separate fluxing. The common constituents are:

• Copper
• Silver
• Phosphorous

Forms of Alloys: The brazing alloys for hydraulic lines can be found in different forms.

• Wire: The alloys are found in forms of wire having the diameters in the range of 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm.
  
  
• Rods: The brazing alloys for joining the hydraulic lines are also found in the form of rods having the diameter in the range 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm. The length of the rod can be up to 500 mm.
  
  
• Ribbon: These alloys can also be found in the form of ribbons with a wide range of thickness.
  
  
• Preforms: They are also available in different desired shapes, such as rings, shaped parts, sections, stamped and shaped parts.
