Silver alloys are free-flowing, corrosion-resistant alloys

Silver Alloy Brazing Materials are a common choice for joining most engineering metals. They are particularly suitable for joining stainless steel and copper alloys. However, they are not suitable for joining aluminium alloys. The Meta-Braze(tm) range of silver alloys provides a versatile alternative for joining most engineering metals.
To braze silver, the base metal must be cleaned and the filler metal applied. The two metals are brought together under high heat to form the joint, which becomes very strong. It is important to remember that the filler metal used is not pure silver, but a combination of various metals with varying concentrations of different elements.
BAg-2a and BAg-27 are similar to one another, although BAg-27 has a lower silver content. Both are good for joining ferrous and non-ferrous metals and have good flow properties. BAg-27 is a good choice for joining stainless steel in humid or copper-free environments. However, it does not melt as readily, and should be used with caution on metals that may be corroded by chlorine.
Silver alloys are free-flowing, corrosion-resistant alloys with a relatively low melting point. However, it is important to use the right flux to ensure the highest quality of joint connections. For example, you should avoid using silver alloys with Zinc, as they can be reactive and lead to corrosion. Fortunately, there are plenty of different types of silver brazing filler material. You can choose from the wide range of products from Saldobrase to meet your specific needs.
