Form:

This specification covers a silver alloy in the form of wire, rod, sheet, strip, foil, pig, powder, shot, and chips, and a viscous mixture (paste) of powder in a suitable binder.

Application:

This material has been used typically for joining ferrous metals and alloys, requiring good joint strength up to 600 °F (316 °C) for short-time service or up to 400 °F (204 °C) for long-time service, and for joining nonferrous metals except those having a base of titanium, aluminum, or magnesium, but usage is not limited to such applications.
