DETAILS
Harris® 170 is a copper-zinc-nickel GTAW (TIG) green flux-coated filler metal developed for braze welding steel and cast iron. It can also be used for brazing tungsten carbide to steel where higher joining temperature is not objectionable. The nickel addition provides hardness and strength compared to the standard bronze alloys. This characteristic makes it ideal for overlays and build-up of gear teeth, shafts, bearings, valve seats, pistons and other surfaces subject to wear. Also, used for joining ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Harris® 17 flows easily and deposits can be machined. Harris® 17FC can be deposited using oxy-fuel torches. The flux coating eliminates the need for manual flux application. Conforms to AWS A5.8.
