This alloy is lead free. P5™ has excellent soldering characteristics and offers a number of advantages over conventional tin-lead alloys. It provides improved strength characteristics particularly where service at moderately elevated temperatures is a factor. P5™ is a good color match on stainless steel and the resulting joints are not prone to interfacial (crevice) corrosion. P5™ has been used in food handling equipment, in plumbing installations, for components carrying water and for stainless steel parts. Information provided by Johnson Matthey Metal Joining |
