A NICROBRAZ CEMENT 650 A general-purpose, low-viscosity braze binder which is environmentally friendly (no ozone-depleting solvents), non-toxic and non-flammable! ‘Nicrobraz Cement 650 is a liquid binder which can be used with a wide varity of powdered filler metals hhold them in place for brazing. It contains no hydrocarbon solvents Nicrobraz. Cement 650 acts as both a vehicle and a binder. It is mixed with any powdered brazing filler ‘metal to permit easy application by syringe, spray gun. brush, or eyedropper. It causes the filler metal 10 ‘compact which holds it in place, even after the Cement completely volatiles at approximately 1000°F (540°C). The binder may be used in a vacuum or high- purity dry atmospheres without adverse effects Nicrobraz Cement 650 is satisfactory for vacuum furnace applications, even though some outgassing ‘occurs. The amount of outgassing will increase with increases inthe amount of Cement used, the number of parts in the furnace, and viscosity of the Cement ‘employed. Outgassing can be reduced by air-baking prior tothe furnace run, NOTE: Normally, no residue remains after brazing. However, the presence of copper or silver in the filler metal may cause “cracking” ofthe Cement and result in ‘small amounts of sooty residue. Nicrobraz Cement 650 can also be used as a carrer for Nicrobraz White Stop-Off™ powder. A mixture of the ‘Cement and White Stop-Off may be applied to mating surfaces to prevent accidental brazing. FORMS AVAILABLE Bulk liquid: ¥- liter or 3-ter bottle, or 200-tter drum. Viscosity: 275-350 centipoise (cps) Copyright wall Colmanoy Corporation, 1885 APPLICATION PROCEDURES (1) For applications using our NicroSpray® System (see Nierobraz Form NSG), ora similar spray gua unit the amount of binder required will be approximately half ‘that required for solvent-based cement. If the binder feed rates are not reduced, the sprayed coating will be too wet and may run when applied to non-horizontal surfaces. (2) On brazements with a multitude of separate joints (such as wire mesh), hand-applying the filler metal becomes an expensive, time-consuming process. In many such cases, the Cement can be applied by spraying or dipping. When filler metal powders are applied by dusting or dipping, they will adhere to surfaces wetted with the Cement. 3) When dry powder is applied t0 the work, the ‘Cement should be used to soak the filler metal within the intended brazing joint. (4) After a mixture of fille metal and Cement has been applied, a second application of Cement over the mixture may sometimes be desirable to insure that it stays in place until brazing is complete. DRYING Niceobraz Cement 650 should be dried at 120-175°F (60-80°C).If drying is to occur at ambient temperature, ‘2 drying time of no less than 30 minutes is recommended for braze preparations exposed to the atmosphere. For applications in which the braze is contained within a constricted area, the drying time should be extended,
