1、Part 111. Brazing Fumes and Gases Introduction As part of the American Welding Society research program “Improving the Welding Environment ,” Bat- telle-Columbus examined the fumes generated during brazing. The broad objective of this task was to show experimentally the relationship of the fumes giv
2、en off to the brazing filler metal used. Early in the program a literature search was conducted to learn the extent and usefulness of the bibliographic data available. The major conclusions drawn were: (I) The cadmium oxide fume hazard has received by for the most attention, but even this takes the

Only a few investigators have chosen to examine the effects of process and procedure variables on the magnitude of the hazard. (2) The possibility of harmful fluoride concentration in the brazing environment i

(3) Almost no information exists that can be used to define the brazing environment and the safe practices to

Bask$ on these conclusions and the experiences of membe of the AWS Research Committee, an experi- mental search program on brazing fumes was agreed benefit or knowledge of any published prior experience by other investigators. Its magnitude and scope were re- strained by the availabili

Thus, proce- dures similar to those used
7、during welding fume studies were suggested. Total fume samples collected in the AWS- Battelle welding fume collection chamber would be used to find the influence of brazing variables on the fume generation rates and quantities. Also the fume sample would be analyzed by atomic absorption methods to d
8、e- termine how brazing variables affect fume compositions. Unfortunately, it increasingly became evident as the pro- gram progressed that the procedures chosen did not pro- vide the precision required for accurate measurement of filler metal fumes. The filler metals chosen were: Ag-15Cu-16Zn-24Cd (B
9、Ag-I) and Ag-22Cu-20Zn-7Cd-ISn. These filler metals have similar melting characteristics and are used exten- sively in industry for torch brazing. Limitat ions The investigation was limited to the BAg-class filler- metals and was directed toward determining the fume gen- eration characteristics of t

As the data presented in this report show, the quantity of fume developed during brazing with filler metals con- taining cadmium and zinc is quite small. They also show that when a flux is used, it is the major contributor to the fume produc

Program The experimental program covered the following tests, conducted in random order: (1) BAg-1 filler metal and I

(2) BAg-1 filler metal under COz shielding, heated to 1200“ E to 1350“ E and to 1500“ F (816“ C); five tests at each temperature plus three extra tests at 1500“ E (3) Low cadmium fi

Equipment, Materials, Procedu re Crucibles (boats) Ail brazing filler metal melting was carried out in shallow pure alumina boats having these nominal internal dimen- sions: 1.75 x 1.13 x 0.38 in. (44 x 29 x 9.7 mm, approx- imately). The internal dimension
16、s varied because the wall thickness was not uniform from boat to boat. The possible surface area variable was neglected and not recorded during the study because not enough boats were available to permit sorting for uniformity. During analysis of the results, the surface area varia- tion was found t
17、o range between -4 and + 12 percent from the nominal area; thus it was considered a significant possible source of error in the data collected. Filters Initial experiments were run using two types of filters: glass fiber absolute filters (MSA, Cat. No. 75428) when weight determinations were desired
18、and cellulose mem- brane filters (Millipore p p e RA, 1.2pm pore size) for samples to be analyzed. It was found, however, that the absolute filters gave excessive variation in results. A satisfactory explanation of these variations was not found; therefore., all fume data used for study of the resul
19、ts were taken from samples collected on membrane filters. The active filter area was 33 square in. (21 290 mm) in all tests. No prefilter was used. Each filter was dried for 1 hour at 220F (105C) immediately prior to weigh- ing and use. Melting Furnace and Fume Collection Chamber A resistance furnac
20、e capable of heating the brazing filler metal to melting temperature in less than 10 minutes and to 1500“ F (816“ C) in less than 15 minutes was built for the program. The melting furnace was enclosed in the AWS-Battelle fume collection chamber when in use. It is shown in position in Fig. 3.1. Close
21、up views of the fur- nace prepared for melting under a flux and under a CO2 gas blanket are shown in Figs. 3.2 and 3.3 respectively. The CO2 gas outlet was a flare fitting with an opening measuring 0.050 x 1.813 in. (1.27 x 46 mm). A standard temperature control system utilizing a chromel-alumel the
22、rmocouple was used. For tests under CO2, the gas flow was regulated through a flow meter at 8 fi3 per hour (3.8 liters per minute, approximately). Filler Metals The composition of the filler metals chosen for study was given above. The standard BAg-1 filler metal was furnished in 1.50 x 1.25 x 0.38
23、in. (approx. 38 x 32 x 9.7 mm) blocks. These were cut to 1.5 x 1.00 x 0.38 in. (approx. 38 x 25 x 9.7 mm) in order to fit the crucible (boat). The excess pieces were used in check tests near the end of the study. The weight of the cut-down blocks varied between 84.7 and 82.6 grams. Melts made with t
24、he excess pieces varied between 74.7 to 76.6 grams. Atomic absorption analyses of these blocks made at Battelle gave these results 25.4 percent Cd and 16.5 percent Zn. The liquidus 1145“ F (618“ C) was taken as that given in the literature. The low cadmium filler metal was furnished as 1.50 x 1.00 x
