    Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Brazing Alloys. Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps.
    When melted, these alloys form a thin liquid that easily flows into smaller gaps than standard brazing alloys. They don’t contain cadmium, so they’re safer than other brazing alloys with cadmium and help you meet industry regulations.
    BAg-34—BAg-34 alloys flow and spread easier than BAg-36 alloys. They’re often used in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.
    BAg-36—BAg-36 alloys are often used in the piping and automotive industry.
