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.

The low brazing temperature and the tin content help to inhibit stress corrosion cracking during brazing of nickel base alloys.
