Metal-joining Products comprising a range of Mallory materials based on copper and silver, to two main areas of application:
RESISTANCE WELDING SUPPLIES
Copper has a high electrical and thermal conductivity and is the basis of resistance welding alloys. The most significant of these are Mallory 328, Mallory 100 and Mallory 20W3.Mallory 328 is a chromium-copper alloy with added zirconium. It is resistant to cracking and sticking and is particularly suitable for welding tin-plate, mild steel and coated steel.
Mallory 100 contains cobalt, nickel and beryllium, and has moderately good conductivity and even greater hardness than Mallory 328. It is particularly suitable for welding high-resistance materials such as stainless steel and heat-resistant alloys.
Mallory 20W3 is a copper-tungsten alloy manufactured using powder metallurgy techniques. This process produces an alloy with high hardness, reasonably good electrical conductivity and extremely high softening temperatures. Mallory 20W3 is best suited to die inserts or facings for projection, flash and butt welding, and hot upsetting and riveting.

BRAZING
Brazing
is an important, flexible and long-established system of metal joining with
proven, unique and beneficial properties. The Mallory
range of brazing alloys allows the customer the use of a number of heating methods
to complement the wide choice of alloys available.
The
benefits of the Mallory range:
low temperature
joining - down to 600ºC
good mechanical
strength
excellent corrosion
resistance in a wide variety of environments
smooth neat
joints
a wide range
of parent metal combinations
The Mallory range of products is
available in a variety of forms:
rods, plain
and flux coated
wire, strip
or foil
washers, rings
and special shapes
powders
