In outdoor equipment such as push lawn mowers, backpack leaf blowers, and chainsaws, durability and performance are critical. It is important that components such as mufflers and exhaust systems can withstand the rigors of constant use.
Mufflers and exhaust systems must contain and control exhaust gases efficiently to ensure optimal performance. Nicrobraz® 5027 has emerged as the filler metal of choice for joining these components, offering longer durability, complete sealing of all surfaces, and enhanced performance for larger engines.
Unlike crimping, which is cost-effective but less durable, brazing ensures a solid seal that lasts longer, particularly for larger engines. Brazing for these components is done in a specialized humpback belt furnace using a hydrogen atmosphere. The individual components of the muffler and exhausts are then brazed together into a unified whole, ensuring structural integrity and longevity.
Using Nicrobraz® 5027 Brazing Filler Metal in the brazing process offers distinct advantages, including the ability to bridge larger gaps than copper alloys. Its cost-effectiveness and adaptability to variable gap sizes make it an ideal option for the joining of muffler and exhaust components.
The application of Nicrobraz® 5027 is a straightforward process. The powdered alloy is mixed with ‘S’ Binder and loaded into cartridges so that it can be dispensed accurately to the joint areas.
Wall Colmonoy is the world’s leader in the development and production of nickel-based brazing filler metals since 1950. In the world of outdoor equipment, Nicrobraz® 5027 has become the go-to filler metal for joining mufflers and exhaust systems, offering durability and sealing properties. Its ability to bridge larger gaps and adapt to variable sizes, along with its straightforward application process, ensures longevity and optimal performance in the most demanding environments.
