Brightening of sil-phos brazed
copper
+++++++
We are oxyacetylene brazing C122 copper tubing using BCuP5 (15%
silver/80% copper/5% phosphorous) brazing rod. Our standard copper
brightening is based a mix of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide
("pihrana bath"). This does a good job brightening the copper but
leaves the braze alloy looking dark and smutty. Is there a different
or additional chemistry that's copper compatible that will leave the
braze alloy brighter and more attractive cosmetically?
