30% Silver Flux Coated | Electrodes & Alloys

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION

AWS/ASME A 5.8 B Ag-20

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS

Low temperature joining of dissimilar metals. Excellent where tolerances and fit are not perfect.

Super active flux coated cadmium free silver brazing alloy with 35% silver content.
Special “Fast Flow” flux coating provides twice the base metal cleansing action of conventional silver flux coatings.
No odors from rubberized compounds yet the flux coating is totally flexible and non-fragile.
The only flux coated silver flux strong enough to clean oxidized stainless steel.
Available in any alloy grade or color with small 10# (5kg) minimum orders.
Available bare as item #3139 for use with 5130 flux.

Brazing Instructions

Welding Techniques: After cleaning metal, preheat generally to 350°F (200°C) then heat the joint area to 800°F (420°C). Melt off some flux and allow it to flow throughout the joint. Then add alloy.
