STAY-SILV® 6 Phos-Copper Brazing Alloy

Stay-Silv® 6 is medium range silver brazing filler metal designed for copper-to-copper applications. It is somewhat more ductile than Harris®. Stay-Silv® 6 can be used on copper-to-brass with appropriate brazing flux. Stay-Silv® 6 has a lower phosphorus content than the AWS BCuP- 4 classification thus creating an alloy that is well suited for many brazing applications. The melting range makes it useful for assemblies with wider clearance. It is not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base metals, as the phosphorus content promotes formation of low ductility intermetallic with the base metal. Corrosion resistance is generally similar to copper base metal, but due to its phosphorus content should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service. Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive.

Eigenschaften

• Medium range silver brazing filler metal designed for copper-to-copper applications
• Can also be used on copper-to- brass with appropriate brazing flux
• Has lower phosphorus content than the AWS BCuP- 4 classification, (Stay-Silv 6HP), this creates an alloy well suited for many brazing applications and the melting range makes it useful for assemblies with wider clearance
• Often used in rod form for manual braze applications but is a good choice formed as brazing rings or on spools for semi-automated applications
• Corrosion resistance is generally similar to copper base metal, but phosphorus containing alloys, including Stay-Silv 6, should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service
• Medium range alloy is well suited where close fit-up cannot be maintained. Filler metal is somewhat more ductile than Phos Copper or Stay-Silv 2.
• Not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base metals, as the phosphorus content promotes formation of low ductility intermetallic with the base metal
• For copper-to-copper and copper-to-brass (using Stay-Silv" white brazing flux) applications.
• Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive
