All products meet Resistance Welder Manufacturers Association (RWMA) standards. RWMA products are offered in Round Rods from .250" to 3.650" diameter; in Square Bars from .375" to 2.500" [...]
RWMA COPPER ALLOYS RWMA Class Type of Material CDA No. Primary Use Class 1 Copper-Zirconium C15000 Zirconium Copper is used in spot welding electrodes and seam weld wheels. It is particularly useful when welding galvanized materials because of its high thermal conductivity, which prevents sticking. Class 2 Copper-Chromium C18200 Chromium Copper is the primary copper [...]
Brazing Copper Tube Brazing is another joining process for connecting copper tube and fittings. However, it involves filler metals that melt at temperatures ranging from 590oC (1,100oF) to 815oC (1,500oF), which are much higher than the solders covered in the previous section. The temperature at which a filler metal starts to melt on heating is [...]
Soldering Copper Tube Soldering is a process that joins base metals using a filler metal (solder) which melts at a lower temperature than the base metals. Most soldering is done with solders that melt at temperatures ranging from approximately 175oC (350oF) to 290oC (550oF). In order to consistently make satisfactory joints, the sequence of operations [...]
