Recommended for you

You can use specific aluminum bronze fillers, nickel filler F41, ERNi-1.
 
What is the application? What are the operating parameters? What welding standard applies? What welding processes are available? Is there a preference for one welding process over the others? What are the production requirements, i.e., one piece versus many pieces?

Best regards - Al
 
I should add that GTAW process is recommended if you weld, although I have used pulsed GMAW for this joint as well. Preheat/PWHT will be based on Code requirements and thickness to be welded.
Is the joint configuration amenable for brazing?
