Nickel Filler Metals Title
These alloys are vacuum grade filler metals that have their compositions specifically controlled to fabricate joints exposed to high vacuum on electron devices. These alloys must be brazed in high purity atmosphere or vacuum. Premabraze® alloys consist of only certified "pure" materials, this metal is vacuum melted and cast to insure cleanliness.

Lucas-Milhaupt's pure metals are vacuum processed to ensure material cleanliness. Conformance to specification is assured by chemical analysis and other performance requirements. Several grades of these materials are available, from 3 nines to 5 nines pure.
