| Silvaloy 505 readily wets nickel and iron base alloys. It is recommended for joining 300 Series stainless steel and will retard interface corrosion in most exposures for which the base metals are suitable. Because this alloy is cadmium-free, it can be safely used on food handling equipment and hospital utensils. Silvaloy 505 is very fluid at its flow point and will quickly fill long, narrow joints. Because it has the tendency to liquate (i.e., separate into low and high melting constituents) when heated slowly, this alloy should be heated quickly through its melting range. Available forms: Wire, strip, engineered preforms, specialty preforms, powder and paste. Information provided by Lucas-Milhaupt. |
