DETAILS
Safety-Silv® 45 is an excellent general-purpose high silver brazing filler metal. Used for decades, this alloy is a popular choice for brazing copper, brass, steel, and stainless steel. A cadmium-free filler metal with a melting range of approximately 145 degrees F, Safety-Silv® 45 provides good fillet forming qualities and is suitable for filling loose connections. This filler metal has excellent joint strength and ductility at a moderately higher temperature. Preferred base metal clearance range is 0.003 in. – 0.006”. Color is silver to light yellow. Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive.
