Stay-Silv 5 Series Brazing Filler

Stay-Silv® 5 silver brazing filler metal designed for copper-to-copper applications
Also used on copper-to-low zinc by applying Stay-Silv® white brazing flux
Stay-Silv® 5 will flow rapidly when heated quickly to its liquidus, this allows penetration into tight clearance connections, with slower heating the alloy melting range provides ability to fill wider gaps
Economical alternative to higher silver content alloys for copper and brass applications
Not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base metals, as the phosphorus content promotes formation of low ductility intermetallic with the base metal
Corrosion resistance is generally similar to copper base metal, but phosphorus containing alloys, including Stay-Silv® 5, should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service
Medium range alloy is well suited where close fit-up cannot be maintained
Filler metal is somewhat more ductile than Harris® or Stay-Silv® 2
