| Silvaloy 18M is a ternary alloy of silver, phosphorus, and copper approaching the eutectic composition. It is very fluid at brazing temperature and should be used on well fitted joints. Silvaloy 18M low brazing temperature and narrow solidus, liquidus range makes it ideal for applications where temperature is a factor with slow heating rates, such as in furnace brazing. Applications: Silvaloy 18M is used for joining copper and copper alloys, such as brass or bronze. It is suitable for use on silver, tungsten, and molybdenum. It should not be used on ferrous nickel alloys. On copper to copper applications, it is self-fluxing due to the fluxing action of the phosphorus content. It's low melting temperature makes it ideal for application on copper to brass temperature and dezincification is a factor.
