Nickel Enhanced, Copper-Base, Brazing Rod for Tough Re-Builds and Low Frictional Overlays
Xuper 185 XFC ®
BRAZING • Controlled Nickel content for improved mechanical properties • Low-fuming rod for Welder friendly use • Good resistance to grinding wear
DESCRIPTION:
PROCEDURE FOR USE:
Xuper 185 XFC is a premium flux-coated brazing rod for applications involving wear due to frictional compressive forces. The controlled nickel addition improves application toughness and depresses fuming tendencies for welderfriendly use.
Preparation: Lightly roughen highly polished base metals to facilitate quicker bonding. Clean joint area with RotoClean® OS or use a proprietary VOC-free solvent. Align parts and preheat locally to facilitate quicker joint area heat-up. When brazing on cast iron prepare the surface by searing using an oxidizing flame. This will help to remove free graphite from the surface and help with bonding.
Xuper 185 was engineered for selective bearing surfaces on cast iron, steel, and some nickel alloys. Xuper 185 exhibits good deepdrawing properties.
TECHNICAL DATA: Typical tensile shear strength: 85,000 psi (586 N/mm2) As-deposited hardness (BNH): 130 Work hardened hardness (BNH): 200 Typical brazing temp. range: 1680°-1720°F (915°-940°C) Heating methods: Oxy-fuel, induction, air furnace Supplemental flux: EutecTor® 16 or 16B* (when brazing bronzes the perferred flux is EutecTor 16B)
Technique: Use a neutral to 1x carburizing flame to prevent oxidation. After preheating deposit the filler metal using a continuous “drop-and-melt” technique. Continue until the joint is slightly overfilled. Notes: When additional fluxing is called for use EutecTor 16, and for bronzes andchromium-bearing tool steels used EutecTor 16B. Post-brazing: If necessary, parts can be cooled in water to “shock off” the flux residue.
HEALTH AND SAFETY: TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
Observe normal brazing and welding practices, respiratory protection and proper air flow pattern advised. For general welding and brazing practices, see AWS publications Z49.1 “Safety in Welding and Cutting and Allied Process”. Welding and brazing are completely safe processes when performed in accordance with proper safety measures. Become familiar with local safety regulations before beginning welding or brazing operations. DO NOT operate brazing or welding equipment or use brazing and welding materials before you have thoroughly read the proper instruction manual(s).
