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 where strength up to 800 °F (427 °C) for short-time service or up to 500 °F (260 °C) for long-time service is required, or for nonferrous metals except those having a base of titanium, aluminum or magnesium, but usage is not limited to such applications.
