Stay-Silv® 5 phos-copper brazing alloy 0.050 x 1/8 x 20 in. 1 ea. mini-pak 7-stick tube POP
Features
Medium-range silver brazing alloy for copper-to-copper applications
More ductile than Harris® 0 or Stay-Silv® 2
A frequent choice for brazing copper as it is “self-fluxing”
When heated quickly to its liquidus, allows penetration into tight clearance connections
With slower heating, the alloy melting range allows the operator to fill loose connections
Use Stay-Silv® white flux to braze low-zinc brass
Corrosion resistance is generally similar to the copper base metal, but phosphorus containing alloys, including Stay-Silv® 5, should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service
Not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous metals due to sufficient lack of joint ductility
The phosphorus content promotes formation of a low ductility intermetallic with the base metal
