Silver Copper Phosphorus Alloys

Copper Phosphorus Alloys
This table is intended to cover only a few typical applications of the most frequently used brazing filler metals. For special brazing problems, contact our Technical Services Department.
Note: The Sil-Fos and Fos-Flo filler metals are for use with copper and copper alloy base metals. Do not use these materials to join ferrous materials as brittle phosphate compounds will be formed at the interface. The Sil-Fos and Fos-Flo filler metals have a unique characteristic called the "Flow Point". The "Flow Point" is defined as the temperature at which the filler metal is fluid enough to capillary through a joint even though not completely liquid (i.e. above the liquidus temperature).
| Filler Metal name: Sil-Fos 18 |
| Typical Applications: A ternary eutectic filler metal for joints where good fit-up can be maintained and low melting point is of prime importance. Clearance: .001" to .003" (.025mm to .127mm). Very fast flo. |
