This 1.6mm (1\/16″) Flux Coated Silver Brazing Rod represents the pinnacle of cadmium-free brazing consumables, formulated specifically for high-precision joining applications. With a silver content of 56%, this alloy (commonly classified as BAg-7) offers the lowest melting point of the standard cadmium-free silver brazing filler metals. This characteristic is critical when working with base metals susceptible to heat distortion or grain growth, as it allows the operator to complete the braze at lower temperatures compared to 45% or 15% silver alternatives.<\/p>\n
The rod features a sophisticated, flexible white flux coating that provides exceptional deoxidizing properties. This coating is designed to activate at the precise temperature required to cleanse the base metal, promoting rapid wetting and capillary flow. The flux system is engineered to be “super active,” containing advanced cleansing agents that outperform conventional coatings, ensuring a sound metallurgical bond even on slightly oxidized surfaces. The absence of cadmium makes this alloy suitable for fabrication in the food processing, medical, and pharmaceutical industries where toxicity is a primary concern.<\/p>\n
Metallurgically, the high silver content combined with tin produces a deposit with excellent corrosion resistance and a color that closely matches stainless steel. It exhibits high ductility and tensile strength, making it an ideal choice for joining dissimilar metals such as stainless steel to copper, steel to brass, or carbide to steel. The controlled melting range (approx. 618\u00b0C to 652\u00b0C) provides a quick transition from solid to liquid, allowing for tight clearances and neat, minimal fillets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A unique, ultra high purity 45% silver brazing alloy with a super active flux that contains twice the base metal cleansing action of conventional silver flux coated alloys.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1966,1959],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1750678","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-silver-wires","6":"product_cat-welding-wires-and-electrodes","7":"pa_diameter-mm-1-6mm","8":"pa_diameter-mm-1-6mm-1-6mm","9":"pa_packaging-description-1-lb-tube","10":"pa_silver-content-502","11":"pa_silver-content-56-56","13":"first","14":"onbackorder","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1750678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1750678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1750678"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1750678"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1750678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
