SAE AMS3430D-2008 PDF

Scope: 1.1 FormThis specification covers a copper brazing filler metal in the form of a paste comprising a viscous mixture of powder in a suitable binder.1.2 ApplicationThis product has been used typically for joining carbon and low-alloy steels and corrosion and heat resistant steels and alloys where high strength, good ductility, and only short-time oxidation resistance above 1000 °F (538 °C) are required,but usage is not limited to such applications. Used where inserts of copper wire or sheet are impractical and where carburization of the metals being joined is undesirable.1.3 ClassificationThe brazing filler metal pastes covered by this specification are classified as follows:Type 1: The active ingredient is composed of cupric and cuprous oxides and metallic copper.Type 2: The active ingredient is composed of metallic copper.1.4 Safety - Hazardous MaterialsWhile the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is thesole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved.
