| Silvaloy X55 has excellent gap filling capability and plasticity when in the molten condition. It also exhibits excellent strength and ductility while cooling from the liquid stage. The improved strength and ductility at elevated temperatures gives it the added advantage over nickel silvers in joining materials with dissimilar coefficient of expansion. The primary application is in the joining of carbides to steel holders. This application requires an alloy with good gap filling characteristics as well as superior toughness and ductility at elevated temperatures.
