Silver Braze 85
AWS: BAg-23
Silver Braze 85 is a specialty alloy used in applications requiring good strength at elevated service temperatures. This braze filler metal can be used in brazing of stainless steels. It is also effective for brazing certain complex chromium-titanium carbides.
Available Forms
Wire, strip, engineered preforms, specialty preforms per customer specification.
Characteristics
Silver Braze 85 is a high temperature, free flowing silver brazing filler metal usable both for torch and atmosphere furnace brazing. Due to high flow point of this alloy; torch brazing may be accomplished with Flux. These fluxes may also be required as a supplement when brazing parts in a controlled atmosphere furnace. Even at 2000F (1093C) a dew point of -80F or better is required to reduce manganese oxides in hydrogen.
Properties
The properties of a brazed joint are dependent upon numerous factors including base metal properties, joint design, metallurgical interaction between the base metal and the filler metal.
