Phosphor-copper brazing alloy exhibits self-fluxing properties when brazing copper and silver, eliminating the need for additional flux, thus saving time and costs associated with flux application before brazing. However, when brazing copper alloys (e.g., brass or bronze), it should be used in conjunction with flux to achieve better joint performance.
