| Silvabraze is used for brazing of copper and copper alloys, brass and bronze. It can also be used on silver, tungsten, and molybdenum. It is primarily used for the joining of copper-to-copper on vibration free joints. It is very effective for joining tight fitting copper pipe and tubing. Silvabraze should not be used on ferrous metals or copper alloys containing more than 10% nickel because of phosphorus embitterment due to reactions with iron or nickel. Silvabraze is extremely fluid at brazing temperatures and will penetrate joint with little clearance. Applications: The phosphorous content of Silvabraze acts as a fluxing agent and no flux is necessary when brazing copper to copper joints. However, when used with a copper alloy or one of the other brazeable metals, a brazing flux must be used to promote wetting, bonding, and flow throughout the joint.
