Braze Alloys Market Overview
Braze alloys market size is forecast to reach US$6.3 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2022-2027. Globally, the increasing usage of braze alloys due to their adaptability to be used in automation, aerospace & defense, and also in industrial applications, in terms of their high efficiency and safety, will drive the market growth. Also, the development of new technologies such as vacuum brazing is likely to increase the market growth in the forecast period. Braze welding is mostly needed for joining steels and cast iron, with lower temperatures requirement, by the oxy-acetylene process. However, galvanic corrosion must be taken care of between the braze and the base metal, and especially while brazing together the dissimilar base metals. Also, hydrogen embrittlement must be avoided, which affects copper and copper alloys during heat treatment at high temperatures, in an atmosphere containing oxygen and hydrogen.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID 19 outbreak widely affected the building and construction, electrical & electronics, and automotive industries over 2020. Owing to the nationwide lockdown, the production process of various goods in these industries declined due to the non-functioning of the manufacturing plants. Economies of each sector got affected and resulted in stagnation of activities across the sectors that use braze alloys. Business communities even faced several issues related to raw material shortage, labor shortage, and temporary closure of operations, supply chain disturbance, and many more. However, COVID-19 palindrome and nationwide lockdown had a lesser impact on the aerospace and defense industry since the budgets for the projects in this industry are allocated before the demand and supply. Due to which the need for the braze alloys remained unaffected in the aerospace and defense industry.
Braze Alloys Market Segment Analysis – By Filler Material Type
The braze powder segment held the largest share in the braze alloys market in 2021. Dense, spherical, clean, and dry particles, are produced by the jet milling process by which braze powder is developed. Each particle contains precise amounts of all the elements of a particular alloy and the powder is uniform and homogeneous. Braze powder among all the other filler material forms, for any welding position, allows for a smooth welding process. Also, brazing filler metal powder is mixed with the binder, to form a paste filler form. Thus, the rising usage of brazing powder due to its alluring properties is further projected to drive the market for braze alloys over the forecast period.

Braze Alloys Market Challenges
Challenges Associated with the Usage of Aluminum Base Metals will Hamper the Market Growth
Aluminum base metals involve several challenges during brazing. Aluminum base metals have a low melting temperature, which needs more accurate heat control. During heating, aluminum base metals do not give a clear indication to braze operators about the base metal reaching the proper brazing temperature, with the lack of color change. Also, aluminum brazing difficulties are related to heat transfer, since, premature melting of brazing alloy is undesirable. Additionally, on brazing, the use of flux is required, since aluminum forms a tough oxide, that can affect the appearance of the finished braze product and can add an entirely new step to the brazing process. Thus, such challenges related to the aluminum base metal used in braze alloys will create hurdles for the market growth in the forecast period.
