Copper and Brass

Feb 17, 2004 2 Replies

Hello group,



I was wondering if you can braze or solder brass to copper?



The application is a round piece of 360 brass needs to be connected to a thin (.018 thick) piece of copper. It will act as a clamp, but holding power is very low.



The copper is Alloy 122 (Drinking "Potable" Water Copper Tubing) and the brass is 360 brass.



Any problems connecting 360 to 260 brass?



Also, I am looking for Alloy 122 copper with ID .87" with at least a .032" wall. Anyone know of any sources?



Thanks in Advance!

SIlver solder would be my first choice.

Since 360 is already a high lead alloy, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't use normal solder.
