StaySilv15 Brazing Filler Metal

Stay Silv 15 is a silver-phosphorus brazing filler metal with 14.5-15.5% silver and 4.8-5.2% phosphorus. It has a wide melting range and is suitable for brazing copper and brass, though it may reduce ductility when brazing ferrous metals. It provides good strength and ductility for HVAC and refrigeration connections.

SAFETY INFORMATION:

Stay Silv 15 is a frequent choice for copper brazing. It has a wide


melting range that allows operators to fill loose connections and cap,
or build up, around the finished joint. When heated above its liquidus,
however, it will penetrate tight connections.

WARNING: PROTECT yourself and others. Read and understand this


information.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health.
HEAT RAYS, (infrared radiation) from flame or hot metal can injure eyes.

Before use, read and understand the manufacturers instructions,


Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and your employer's safety
practices.

Keep your head out of fumes.

Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the flame, or heat source, to


keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general
area.

Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.

See American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting,


and Allied Processes, published by the American Welding Society,
8669 Doral Blvd., Doral, Florida 33166; OSHA Safety and Health
Standards, available from the U.S. Government Office, Washington,
DC 20402.

Stay Silv 15 is also a suitable choice to braze brass. In these


applications operators should take care to avoid over heating the brass,
and use Stay Silv white brazing flux.
Stay Silv 15 has historically been a popular brazing filler metal for
HVAC and refrigeration connections. Its low phosphorus content
provides brazed assemblies with good strength and ductility. Users
should also consider Harris Dynaflow as a lower cost option.
Stay Silv 15 is not recommended for brazing steel or other ferrous base
metals. The phosphorus content promotes formation of a low ductility
intermetallic with the ferrous base metal. It is sometimes used to braze
selected low nickel content copper-nickel base metals, (90/10), but
service suitability should be first established.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:
Generally similar to the copper base metal, but phosphorus containing
alloys, including Stay Silv 15 should not be used if the braze is exposed
to sulfur or sulfur compounds in service.
