Abstract: A brazing ring with integrated fluxing product and methods for production thereof is described. The brazing ring has a c-shaped body with a plurality of channels extending the thickness of the ring and disposed about the circumference thereof. The channels are separated by radially extending flanges with enlarged distal ends that extend into the channels. The enlarged ends at least partially enclose the channels to aid in retention of a fluxing product disposed in therein. The c-shape may enable flexure of the ring for installation on a pipe or fitting and a friction fit to maintain an installed position. The brazing ring is formed by extruding a filler material to form a tube with the desired profile and compressing the fluxing product into the channels of the profile. The tube is subsequently sectioned perpendicularly to its length to produce a plurality of the brazing rings.

Abstract: A brazing ring with integrated fluxing product and methods for production thereof are described. The brazing ring has a generally circular body with a plurality of channels extending between opposing faces of the ring and disposed about the circumference thereof. The channels have a v-shaped profile. The body of the ring has a generally constant thickness between inner and outer surfaces. The v-shaped profile of the channels on the outer surface is thus mimicked in a plurality of v-shaped channels on the inner surface of the ring. The ring may be formed as a continuous ring or as a c-shape. The brazing ring is formed by extruding a filler material to form a tube with the desired profile and disposing the fluxing product into the channels of the profile. The tube is subsequently sectioned perpendicular to its length to produce a plurality of the brazing rings.
