4343 brazing aluminum foil strip coil
4343 brazing aluminum foil strip coil is widely used in the brazing field, with a melting point between 590-610°C. Compared to other aluminum alloys, such as 4043 aluminum alloy, it has a higher silicon content.
The 4343 brazing aluminum foil strip coil is primarily used as a cladding layer in composite brazing plates, playing a crucial role during the brazing process. It is suitable for connecting composite tubes, composite plates, and composite fins, providing a reliable connection and making it an important choice for efficient brazing materials.
4343 aluminum is a 4000-series aluminum alloy. The main alloying addition is silicon. Cited properties are appropriate for the as-fabricated (no temper or treatment) condition.
AL 4343 is a general purpose filler metal used to join aluminum and aluminum alloys. The solution temperature during heat treatment must be below the solidus of the brazing alloy to ensure that the integrity of the joint is maintained.
