Harris® SS5-STK

Harris®, SS5-COST-/-28, Brazing Alloy , .050 x 1/8 in Diameter, 20 in Length

• Medium-range silver brazing alloy for copper-to-copper applications
• More ductile than Harris® 0 or Stay-Silv® 2
• A frequent choice for brazing copper as it is self-fluxing
• When heated quickly to its liquidus, allows penetration into tight clearance connections
• With slower heating, the alloy melting range allows the operator to fill loose connections
• Use Stay-Silv® white flux to braze low-zinc brass
• Corrosion resistance is generally similar to the copper base metal, but phosphorus containing alloys, including Stay-Silv® 5, should not be used if the braze is exposed to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service
• Not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous metals due to sufficient lack of joint ductility
• The phosphorus content promotes formation of a low ductility intermetallic with the base metal
