***SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY***
No. 21 and 22 brazing sheet are typically used in Dip Brazing applications. No. 21 is one side clad and No. 22 is a two sided product, with each having a heat treatable core of 6951 and a cladding alloy of 4343.
In Dip Brazing, air is excluded from the process since the parts are submerged in molten salt, thereby excluding exposure to air and subsequent oxidation. The molten salt functions both as a heat transfer medium and flux.
The typical application of dip brazed alloys No.21 and No.22 is for parts where strength is required. The 6951 core is a heat treatable alloy, providing additional strength and offering the opportunity to save weight by down gauging. Many of the dip brazed parts find their way in heat transfer applications for the aerospace industry.
Lynch Metals has the largest inventory in the world of these Dip Braze products. The material is stocked in both its Union, NJ and Anaheim, CA facilities in gauges ranging from .020 through .190.
