Description
  AWS A5.27 Class RBCuZn-A is a 1% tin filler metal used for brazing or oxyacetylene welding of steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper-bronze and nickel alloys. The addition of tin improves strength and corrosion resistance in the weld deposit. A borax-boric acid flux is generally required. Joint clearances should be 0.002 inch to 0.005 inch wide. Preheating may be desirable for some applications. A neutral or slightly oxidizing flames should be used.
