Silver solder rod 1.5mm x 500mm 40% silver, CAD free (cadmium-free).

Silver solder rods are used for brazing, which involves joining two or more metals by melting the silver solder rod filler metal into the joint.

APPLICATIONS:

• Strong Joints: Silver solder creates strong, durable joints that can withstand significant stress and pressure.
• Low Melting Point: Compared to other brazing materials, silver solder has a relatively low melting point, which reduces the risk of damaging the base metals.
• Versatility: It’s suitable for joining a wide range of metals, including copper, brass, stainless steel, and even dissimilar metals.
• Corrosion Resistance: The joints formed are often resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications.
• Neat Finish: Silver soldering produces clean, aesthetically pleasing joints, which is beneficial for applications where appearance is important, such as jewellery making.
• Copper: Widely used in plumbing and HVAC systems, silver solder provides strong and leak-proof joints.
• Brass: Often used in musical instruments and fittings, silver solder works well with brass due to its similar melting temperature range.
• Stainless Steel: Silver solder can join stainless steel, offering good strength and corrosion resistance.
• Nickel Alloys: Suitable for high-temperature and high-stress applications, silver solder can join nickel-based alloys effectively.
• Carbon Steel: Silver solder can be used to join carbon steel, providing a strong bond with good mechanical properties.
• Dissimilar Metals: One of the advantages of silver solder is its ability to join different types of metals, such as copper to stainless steel or brass to carbon steel.
• Precious Metals: In jewellery making, silver solder is often used to join gold and silver pieces due to its neat finish and strong bond.
