Silver Brazing Sheet Metal

Silverphos brazing filler metals silverphos silver phosphorus alloys are designed to braze copper to copper and copper to brass.

Silver brazing sheet metal.

Brazing is a technique for joining pieces of metal together by filling the join between the two metal pieces with a molten intermediary metal. When brazing with silver alloy filler metals silver soldering the alloys have liquidus temperatures above 840ºf 449ºc. In most cases an overlapped joint will be stronger and braze together easier than a gapped joint. A silver brazing filler metal by virtue of its silver content has very little tendency to increase electrical resistance across a properly brazed joint.

Brazing must meet each of three criteria. Home contact blog 888 272 9464 908 686 8401. For over 25 years lynch metals has been north america s largest stocking distributor of aluminum brazing sheet stainless steel other metal alloys. The phosphorus content acts as a fluxing agent during the braze process.

For instance brazing is the better option on a t joint with 0 005 in. Brazing vs silver soldering. Sheet metal bonded to 0 5 in. Silver solder is also know as silver brazing.

Brazing is distinguished from welding because it uses an intermediary material usually a copper zinc alloy to join the two metal pieces rather than melting the pieces. If needed use clamps to secure the pieces in position. Material safety data sheet 1. Soldering joins materials usually metals together by melting and.

Silver solder is used with a flux which chemically cleans the metal and keeps it clean during the silver soldering process. The silver content in these alloys influence fluidity and improves the overall ductility of the brazing alloy. Position the metal as desired. Product and company identification material name phosphorus copper silver brazing filler metal.

Heat the joint where the two pieces of metal will meet until the joint glows. But you can further insure minimum resistance by using a close joint clearance to keep the layer of filler metal as thin as possible. Apply the brazing rod to the joint while continuing to heat the metal surfaces. Brazing is only used on ferrous metals because the solder melts at 960 degrees celcius a point above the melting point of non ferrous metals.
