What is PinBrazing?
A portable Silver brazing method for connecting cables to steel structures
Why PinBraze on pipelines?
For preventing pipes and other steel structures from corroding by installing Cathodic Protection
Systems
What is PinBrazing?A silver brazing method
with low melting temperature, 600˚C (1100°F).
Silver, the best electrical conductor of all metals.
Only 5 micro Ohms transition resistance
Secure against corrosion.
High mechanical strength. 50kp/mm2 Binding Strength, 25kp/mm2 Shear
Strength
No melting of the steel in the pipe.
Portable: Battery powered. 36V DC.
History of PinBrazing
Used since?• 1951 by Swedish National Rail• 1950 by Metro Stockholm Sweden• 1951 by Finnish state railway, VR• Today in more than 45 countries worldwide.
Experience?• 60 years of experience. • More than 60 Million brazings without any incidents.
Why?• To attach cables with as little affect to the rail or pipe as
possible. • To be fast. • Able to use it in any weather conditions. The work has to be
done.• Increase the safety for the workers.• Have the best electrical conductivity.

What is PinBrazing?
Special Connectors, Rail bonds, Jumper bonds, Extension bonds etc
How does it works?
Preparation
•Grind for the ground magnet and the brazing area
How does it works?
•Pull the trigger
•The brazing starts
How does it works?
•The capsule of the brazing pin is opened
•A special flux powder cleans the surface
How does it works?
•The silver soldering material melts
•The process is automatically finished
How does it works?
•Knock off the control shaft on the brazing pin with a hammer
How does it works?
Completed PinBrazing
Advantages•Silver brazing method ensure lowest possible transition resistance in connections•Low melting temperature, appr. 600˚C (1100°F)•Brazing method, Not welding
•Does not melt or mix the steel and copper only the Silver is melting
Advantages
•Fast installation, cpl. Bonding in 1-2
minutes
•All weather system! Rain, snow…no
problem!
•Easy to use and learn…anyone can do
it!
•Safe for the operator, only 36 V
•No risk for steam explosions
•Safe for the work piece
•Automated process
Advantages
Silver Bonding Method
Thanks to the extremely low transition resistance the PinBrazed connector
will never goes off because of a current surge
Advantages vs other brands
Automatically adjusted Brazing Guns!A perfect brazing result requires a correct lift height of the brazing pin… Every time
Advantages vs other brands
Automatically adjusted Brazing Guns!With a incorrect adjusted brazing gun, the arc will not work against the workpiece.
The result will be a cold brazing with insufficient strength.
Advantages vs other brands
The solutionAutomatically adjusted
