Halla Visteon Selects Wall Colmonoy for VW EGR Paste

EGRsWall Colmonoy Ltd. (UK) has been selected by Halla Visteon Climate Control Corporation, for the supply of Nicrobraz® 152 brazing paste for their new VW 1.4 litre Diesel Engine EGR.  Specific car models for this engine include VW Polo, Seat and Skoda. This is expected to be an eight-year project, with two further HVCC VW EGR projects in the pipeline.

 

Nicrobraz 152 brazing paste was developed for use in the manufacture of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) units and Heat Exchangers.  Nicrobraz 152 is part of a product line of Boron Free Ni-CR-Si-P filler metals which contain optimal proportions of phosphorous and Silicon.

 

Nicrobraz 31, 33 and 152 Boron Free Ni-Cr-Si-P filler metals provide enhanced corrosion resistance, increased joint strength and improved substrate structural integrity by minimizing alloying interactions between the filler metal and base materials.

 

Markéta Jelénková, Commodity Buyer, Visteon Autopal Czech says, “With Wall Colmonoy’s strong industry reputation, HVCC are delighted to select them as a key partner to supply Nickel Braze pastes.“
