Gold Braze 3565 can be used on any of the common ferrous and non-ferrous
alloys. This alloy exhibits good wetting characteristics on metallized ceramics.
USES Typical applications include brazing of electron tubes, vacuum tubes, wave
guides in electronic industry. Gold Braze 3565 is readily used in brazing of
ceramic to metal seals.
Gold Braze 3565 is generally used in reducing, vacuum, or inert atmosphere. It is
a less ductile alloy than standard gold-copper-nickel alloys. The composition of
BRAZING
CHARACTERISTICS
the alloy allows for use in applications where braze filler metals low in volatile
constituents are required. Due to its narrow plastic range, Gold Braze 3565
exhibits free flowing characteristics.

The properties of a brazed joint are dependent upon numerous factors including
PROPERTIES OF base metal properties, joint design and brazing technique. For controlled
BRAZED JOINTS atmosphere brazing or vacuum brazing the recommended radial joint clearance
for gold base alloys fall within 0.000in – 0.002in (0.00mm-0.05mm) range.
Gold Braze 3565 conforms to: Unified Numbering System (UNS) P00354,
