What is  6951 O Aluminum brazing foil ?

Aluminum 6951 is part of the 6000 series, characterized by its primary alloying elements magnesium and silicon. This specific alloy contains 97.2% aluminum, with notable additions of magnesium, silicon, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc. Its composition enhances strength, improves sag resistance, and allows for heat treatment, which increases the metal's strength through controlled heating and cooling.

Specifically, aluminum 6951 stands out due to its increased strength, which allows manufacturers to reduce the gauge and, consequently, the weight of their components. These properties make aluminum 6951 particularly well-suited for heat transfer units in the aerospace industry.

Application of 6951 O Aluminum brazing foil 

In the aerospace industry, aluminum 6951 is primarily used for brazing and honeycomb panel construction.

Brazing: This technique joins two different metal sheets or components by creating a metallurgical bond between the surfaces and the bonding material, rather than through fusion as in welding. Brazing can connect metals of various types and non-metals like tungsten carbide, alumina, graphite, and diamond.

Honeycomb Panels: These panels feature a honeycomb core sandwiched between outer layers, or facings, which are bonded with adhesive. The honeycomb structure provides exceptional strength while maintaining a low weight. Aluminum 6951 is frequently used as the core material in these panels due to its favorable strength-to-weight ratio.
