Pure Silver
Pure Silver /BVAg-0 Technical Data
Uses
BVAg-0 has a higher level of Ag than commercially pure fine silver, which by definition contains a minimum of 99.9% versus at least 99.95% Ag in BVAg-0. It is widely used in the electrical and electronics industries as contacts and conductors and in the chemical industry as linings for reactors and process/storage vessels, particularly caustic evaporators and crystallizers.
Brazing Characteristics
BVAg-0 is not an alloy – so it has a specific melt temperature, allowing it to easily fill tight joint clearances. It wets to most ferrous and nonferrous metals. It can have a tendency to flash across the base parts if left at braze temperature for too long.
Properties of Brazed Joints
BVAg-0 provides strong, ductile joints.
