Brazing

Complete range of high-quality brazing filler metals

Selectarc is the only French manufacturer with its own dedicated foundry for strong brazing, mastering the entire production chain and ensuring performance, reliability, and consistent quality. By integrating all stages – formulation design, continuous casting, extrusion, drawing, and custom work – Selectarc guarantees reliable, reproducible, and perfectly traceable brazing filler metals, from sourcing to finished product.
  Driven by a historic culture of innovation—since the invention of Cupro-Phosphorus alloys—Selectarc develops solutions that sustainably support the evolution of industrial processes. This dynamic has notably led to the patented TBW (Tubular Brazing Wire) technology, a tubular brazing wire with integrated flux, recognized for its performance, robustness, and ease of implementation in the most demanding environments.   Manufactured exclusively in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Selectarc’s brazing filler metals cover a wide range of innovative alloys (Copper, Copper-Phosphorus, Copper-Phosphorus-Silver, Silver, brazing alloys, and Aluminum) for numerous industrial sectors. Our R&D laboratory also conducts custom developments to meet the most specific requirements of our clients.   Selectarc’s offering is available in several forms :
  • TBW (seamless extruded tube with integrated flux)
  • Bare or coated rods
  • Wires in coils or spools
  • Preforms : rings and specific geometries

Copper-Phosphorus Alloys

Range of brazing materials for copper metals developed by Selectarc for Copper-Copper and Copper-Brass assemblies.

Ideal for plumbing, heating applications, and for all fluid transport circuits in Copper.

Copper-Phosphorus-Silver Alloys

Soldering range developed by Selectarc. The addition of Silver provides high mechanical properties: better electrical conductivity, increased ductility of the alloy.

Ideal for: heat exchangers, ventilation systems, electrical connections, air conditioning

Silver Alloys

Range of high silver content strong ternary or quaternary solders that provide excellent capillarity and high mechanical properties.
This range includes the TBW technology (Tubular Brazing Wire - rods with incorporated flux) developed and patented by Selectarc.

Ideal for: HVAC, food industry, sanitary, household appliances, jewelry, cryogenics, etc.

Aluminum Alloys

Range of solders covering most brazing applications on Aluminum and other materials. It also includes the TBW technology (Tubular Brazing Wire) with non-corrosive incorporated flux and a low melting point.

Ideal for heat exchangers, household appliances, electrical connections Steel/Aluminum,

SELECTARC has developed and patented a unique and innovative solution, the TBW (Tubular Brazing Wire) to optimize your brazing operations.

Made in France, the TBW is a 2-in-1 product that combines a seamless extruded tube with incorporated flux, thus offering very high fluidity and exceptional mechanical properties.

The advantages of TBW brazing are numerous:

  • High performance : Excellent corrosion resistance and patented process ensuring optimized alloy consumption
  • Operational ease : Ideal for automating brazing operations, it does not require additional flux, thus reducing post-brazing cleaning
  • Operator safety : No direct contact with the flux, less smoke, and no splashes, ensuring better safety for the operator

Applications are varied : TBW brazing is ideal for the HVAC, renewable energies, generators, transformers, and electric motors
