Silver Braze 56
Silver Braze 56 Technical Data
Uses
Silver Braze 56 is a silver-based brazing alloy used for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys in joints requiring a low temperature, cadmium-free alloy, as in food handling equipment.
Brazing Characteristics
Silver Braze 56 is a low temperature, free-flowing brazing filler metal with a slight tendency to liquate (separation into low and high melting constituents) if heated slowly through its melting range. This brazing alloy is excellent for general purpose brazing of close-tolerance joints. The low zinc content minimizes issues with prolonged or repeated heating.
Properties of Brazed Joints
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.
