The filler alloy of nominal composition Cu-40Mn-10Ni (all in wt%) was prepared in the form of ribbon of 40 μm thick by melt spinning technique. The ribbon exhibits narrow melting zone and comprise single phase of Cu-Mn-Ni solid solution. The melt spun ribbon successfully brazed 304 stainless steel butt joints. The formation of solid solution in the joining area without any intermetallics is observed. The bonding strength of filler alloy is achieved around 456 MPa. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
