OVERVIEW

Smooth Application for Perfect Silver Brazing

When you are out in the field or in the shop working on a critical repair, you need a flux that behaves predictably and helps you get the job done right the first time. Harris Stay-Silv® White Brazing Flux is the go-to choice for welders and HVAC technicians needing a reliable, all-purpose flux for silver soldering. This 1 lb jar contains a smooth, white paste that is easy to brush on and stays where you put it, giving you even coverage exactly where you need the solder to flow. It takes the guesswork out of prep by effectively cleaning the metal surface as you heat it up.

This flux is active between 1050°F and 1600°F, which is the sweet spot for most silver brazing tasks. As you apply heat, the flux turns into a clear liquid that dissolves oxides on the metal surface, paving the way for your silver solder to penetrate deep into the joint. It works exceptionally well on copper, brass, steel, stainless steel, and bronze. Whether you are brazing HVAC lines, repairing cast iron parts, or fabricating custom steel components, Stay-Silv® White protects the base metal from burning and ensures a strong, leak-proof bond. It is not for use on aluminum, but for almost everything else in your ferrous and non-ferrous arsenal, it is the standard.

Using the right flux is half the battle in brazing. Harris has formulated this paste to provide excellent protection during the heating cycle, preventing that annoying black scale from forming before you are ready to add filler. Once you are done, the residue cleans up relatively easily, leaving you with a professional-looking joint. Don't risk your reputation on cheap flux; stick with the proven performance of Harris Stay-Silv® to ensure your silver brazing alloys flow smoothly and bond securely every time.

FAQ

It is suitable for most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze, nickel alloys, and cast iron.

No, Stay-Silv White Flux is not recommended for aluminum, magnesium, or titanium. You require a specific aluminum flux for those materials.

The flux is active between 1050°F and 1600°F (566°C - 871°C).

It meets AWS A5.31 Classification FB3-A.

The residue is often water-soluble but may require hot water and a wire brush or chipping hammer to remove completely, especially if overheated.

No, this is a brazing flux for high-temperature silver brazing, not a rosin flux for low-temperature soft soldering of electronics.

The manufacturer states a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture.

This is a white paste flux.
