95/5 is a general purpose solder used in applications involving soldering of copper and copper alloys and/or ferrous base alloys where use of lead containing solder is not permitted. This soft solder may be used in applications involving higher service temperatures. Typical applications for this alloy include copper components in air conditioning industry. This alloy is also recommended in applications involving food handling or drinking water components where use of lead containing alloys is not permitted. Antimony bearing alloys are not recommended in soldering of brass parts due to formation of brittle Sb-Zn intermetallics. Available forms: Wire, strip, engineered preforms, specialty preforms, powder and paste. Information provided by Lucas-Milhaupt. |
