What is ISO 3677 - Designation of filler metal for soldering and brazing about?
Filler metal is a metal added to the making of a joint through welding, brazing, or soldering. ISO 3677 specifies designation for filler materials for soldering and brazing on the basis of their chemical composition. For brazing materials only, the designation includes their solidus/liquidus temperatures. ISO 3677 deals with the metallic part of filler used in soldering and brazing products.
Who is ISO 3677 - Designation of filler metal for soldering and brazing for?
ISO 3677 on the designation of filler metal for soldering and brazing is useful for:
- Soldering and brazing industries
- Filler metal manufacturing industries
- Mechanical laboratories
- Design engineers
Why should you use ISO 3677 - Designation of filler metal for soldering and brazing?
Soldering and brazing processes rely on a filler metal added to the joint to form the junction between the base metal parts. Soft soldering uses a filler that melts at a lower temperature than the workpiece, often a lead-tin solder alloy. ISO 3677 provides the designation to users for filler materials for soldering and brazing on the basis of their chemical composition. The designation is divided into two parts for soldering filler metals and three parts for brazing filler metals. ISO 3677 helps to improve the quality of soldering and brazing using filler materials. Using ISO 3677 you can specify designation for filler materials for soldering and brazing on the basis of their chemical composition.
