Silver Soldering CD Rom - Presented by Keith Hale BSc. CuP Alloys Ltd.

Over the past few years CuP Alloys have become the major supplier of Brazing Alloys to the Model Engineer. Many model engineering suppliers give presentations to clubs throughout the UK, particularly during the winter months & CuP Alloys are no exception. This CD is in fact the video record of such a presentation, given to the York Model Engineering Society in February 2006. It covers in some detail virtually every aspect of the Brazing process with of course particular emphasis on its application to Model Locomotive Boiler construction. It explores choice of materials, various brazing alloys, fluxes, gas & flame types, joint preparation & of course faults. There is wealth of detailed information, and as Keith points out, in response to a members question, all the relevant details, temperatures, fluxes, materials etc, can be found on the CuP website at www.cupalloys.co.uk. and printed out if required.

Keith Hales is well placed to offer advice as he has worked for many of the major brazing alloy suppliers before forming CuP Alloys in 1982.

The CD can be obtained direct from CuP Alloys Price £12.50 inc pp.
