  • Publication number: 20170021421
    Abstract: Described are wrought forms of copper alloys for infiltrating powder metal parts, the method for preparing the copper alloys and their wrought forms, the method for their infiltration into a powder metal part, and the infiltrated metal part infiltrated with the novel alloys having a generally uniform distribution of copper throughout and exhibiting high transverse rupture strength, tensile strength and yield strength. Infiltrated metal parts prepared by infiltrating powder metal parts with reduced amounts of the novel infiltrant typically weigh less and have superior strengths compared to similarly prepared infiltrated metal parts prepared with standard methods and conventional infiltration.

  • Publication number: 20140048587
    Abstract: Disclosed is a brazing alloy composition. The composition comprises, by weight, about 94% copper, about 4% zinc, and about 2% iron. Further disclosed is a brazing process utilizing the brazing alloy, a method for the brazing alloy's preparation and a work piece having members joined by the brazing alloy providing stronger bonding as demonstrated by braze joints having increased shear strength.
