| Silvaloy 999 is widely used in numerous electrical, electronic, and industrial applications such as contacts, fuse elements, lead wires, battery plated and ruptured discs. Fine silver is generally selected for its high thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as for its good resistance to oxidation and corrosive attack. It also exhibits excellent ductility and is easily joined by welding or brazing. Silvaloy 999 is also used to join metalized ceramics in reducing or inert atmospheres or vacuum. Silvaloy 999, as a pure metal, melts and flows at a single temperature, meaning it will flow quickly and fill tight clearances well. While Silvaloy 999 will wet most ferrous and nonferrous surfaces, excessive hold time at braze temperature should be avoided to lessen the possibility of diffusion into the base metal, especially on copper alloys. Available forms: Wire, strip, engineered preforms, and specialty preforms. Information provided by Lucas-Milhaupt. |
