__FORCETOC__
=== 4.1 Brazing Alloys ===<onlyinclude>For the joining of contact materials with carrier substrates brazing alloys with working temperatures > 600 °C are used exclusively. The working temperature is defined as the lowest surface temperature by which the brazing material wets the materials to be joined. This temperature is within the melting range and between the solidus (temperature at which melting starts) and liquidus (temperature at complete liquid state) point of the brazing alloy. </onlyinclude>Silver-based brazing alloys have good electrical conductivity and a sufficient mechanicalstrength which allows a bonding process without significant changes in the 4microstructure of the material to be joined.
For electrical contacts usually low-melting the joining of contact materials with carrier substrates, brazing alloys with a minimum of 20 wt-% silver and additions of cadmium, zinc or tin to lower the melting point working temperatures > 600 °C are used ''(Table 4exclusively.1)''. Because of The working temperature is defined as the toxicity of cadmium most cadmium containing brazing alloys have been replaced lowest surface temperature, by zinc and tin containing which the brazing alloysmaterial wets the materials to be joined. For higher requirements on corrosion resistance or for easier wetting of stainless steel nickel This temperature is within the melting range and between the solidus (temperature at which melting starts) and manganese containing alloys are also used. Using any liquidus (temperature at complete liquid state) point of these the brazing alloys in an air environment is only possible with the addition of oxide reducing fluxesalloy.For high temperature brazing in vacuum or protective atmosphere vacuum melted silverSilver-copper eutectic based brazing alloys are used. These also allow subsequent forming operations due to their higher ductility.For the brazing of contacts with have good electrical conductivity and a silver bottom layer to copper backings phosphorous containing brazing alloys sufficient mechanical strength, which eliminate the need for allows a flux application are widely used.The brazing alloy is typically introduced into the joint area bonding process without significant changes in the form microstructure of wire segments, foil, shims, or as powder or paste. For larger production volumes it is economically advantageous the material to pre-coat contact tips with a thin layer (< 100 µm) of brazing alloybe joined.

Since the residues of fluxes are hygroscopic and can cause corrosion , they have to be removed completely after the brazing process in very hot or boiling water. Depending on the type and process used, fluxes are being applied in liquid form or as powders or pastes.
