METHOD FOR ARC OR BEAM BRAZING/WELDING OF WORKPIECES OF IDENTICAL OR DIFFERENT METALS OR METAL ALLOYS WITH ADDITIONAL MATERIALS OF SN BASE ALLOYS; SN BASE ALLOY WIRE

摘要

The invention is directed to a method for arc or beam brazing/welding of workpieces (A) made of steel, cast iron, nickel, cadmium, beryllium, titanium, molybdenum, magnesium, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, tin, hard metal and alloys thereof with workpieces (B) made of steel, cast iron, nickel, cadmium, beryllium, titanium, molybdenum, magnesium, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, tin, hard metal and alloys thereof, wherein said workpieces (A) and (B) may consist of identical or different metals or metal alloys, using a fused additional metal alloy, characterized by the following steps: a) positioning the workpieces to be joined; b) fusing the additional metal alloy containing an SnZn, SnAg, SnZnAg, SnCu, SnCuAg, SnZnCu or SnZnCuAg alloy; c) applying the fused additional metal alloy on the contact surfaces or partial areas of the contact surfaces between the positioned workpieces; and d) cooling the joined workpieces; steps b) and c) being carried out one immediately after the other. The invention is also directed to a method of filling gaps or dents in sheet metal treatment and in bodywork construction and to a wire for use in said method.
