Braze Powder & Paste

WAMBRAZE™ solder paste and powder conform to AST/AWS specifications.

Williams Advanced Materials proprietary process yields WAMBRAZE™ Braze Powder and Paste with exceptional spherical shaped particles, low carbon and oxygen levels, and total impurity levels below 100 ppm. Solder paste is a good solution where traditional preforms are not practical because of size or geometry limitations. Both solder paste and braze powder materials are satellite free, meet typical vacuum tube grade requirements and conform to AST/AWS braze specifications. Particles can be custom blended to meet any mesh designation. Standard mesh sizes conform to AWS specifications and range in mesh size from 100/+400, -140/+200 to -200/+325 to -325.
