    The document discusses brazing in the automotive industry. Zinc coatings commonly used on automotive plates can cause issues for welding due to zinc evaporation before base material melting. This can lead to porosities, incomplete fusion, cracks and an unstable arc. Using filler metals based on copper allows for less heat induction to avoid base material melting, implementing a brazing process with welding equipment. Commonly used alloys for this include CuSi3Mn1 and CuAl8, which preserve corrosion resistance and reduce distortion while allowing easy finishing of brazing seams. Various automotive body applications utilize MIG, laser, and plasma brazing processes.

    MIG – brazing in the automotive industry

    The automotive industry and their suppliers normally use zinc coated plates.

    Zinc starts melting at approx. 420°C and evaporates at approx. 906°C. These characteristics have a bad influence on the
    welding process because the evaporation of the zinc takes place before the melting of the base material. This can lead to
    porosities, incomplete fusion, cracks and an unstable arc.

    Therefore it is favourable to induce less heat to avoid partial melting of the base material. That’s why the utilization of filler
    metals based on copper is an alternative. In this regard we are talking about a brazing process which utilizes a welding
    apparatus. The most commonly used alloys are CuSi3Mn1 (FONTARGEN A 202 M) and CuAl8 (FONTARGEN
    A 2115/8 M).

    The main advantages of these wires are:

     Only a slight combustion of the zinc-coat occurs and thus the corrosion resistance is preserved.
     Reduced distortion.
     Easy finishing of the brazing seam.

    There are various applications in the field of passenger car bodies. Besides the MIG-brazing, laser- and plasma processes
    are applied.
