BRAZING HANDBOOK 1 Forewords The CuproBraze brazing handbook is a way to share the latest knowledge regarding the CuproBraze process. It deals with technical questions in general. The CuproBraze process is rather young and developments in different areas are still on-going. Therefore, all recommendations in the handbook should be seen as advice, sometimes better or other ways to success can be found. The handbook will be updated from time to time and if there are any questions or other matters which should be included, please contact editors. The handbook is based on the original manuscript of Leif Tapper, who has retired when this edition comes out.

General New brass and copper alloys offer high strength as well as excellent retention of strength at elevated operating temperatures. They can withstand high-temperature brazing processes without substantial loss in strength. A Brazing Center has been established to build prototype heat exchangers based on these new alloys and to demonstrate the CuproBraze® process. As a result, CuproBraze® technology is now being applied globally in the manufacture of advanced heat exchangers using the new brazing process described in this manual. B
