STAY-SILV® 5 Phos-Copper Brazing Alloy

Stay-Silv® 5 phos-copper filler metal is a medium range filler metal that is well suited where close fit-up cannot be maintained. This filler metal is somewhat more ductile than Harrisor Stay-Silv® 2. It is designed for copper-to-copper applications, but also can be used on copper to low zinc brass by applying Stay-Silv® white brazing flux. Stay-Silv® 5 flows rapidly when heated quickly to its liquidus. This allows penetration into tight clearance connections. With slower heating, the filler metal melting range provides the ability to fill wider gaps. Stay-Silv® 5 is often chosen as an economical alternative to higher silver content filler metals for copper and brass applications. 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.

Caratteristiche
