OVERVIEW

Silvalloy 560: The Professional's Choice for Stainless Steel Brazing

When precision and safety are paramount, professional welders and fabricators turn to Lucas-Milhaupt Silvalloy 560. This 56% silver brazing alloy (AWS A5.8 Class BAg-7) is engineered to deliver superior performance without the health hazards associated with cadmium-bearing solders. It is particularly valued for its low melting temperature range (Solidus 1145°F / Liquidus 1205°F), which allows for faster brazing cycles and reduced heat-affected zones. This characteristic is crucial when working with thin-walled tubing or delicate components where overheating could cause warping or burn-through.

Silvalloy 560 flows freely and wets out smoothly, creating clean, aesthetic joints that require minimal post-braze finishing. Its composition of Silver (56%), Copper (22%), Zinc (17%), and Tin (5%) provides a robust balance of ductility and strength. It is highly recommended for joining 300 and 400 series stainless steels, as it helps prevent interface corrosion failures often seen with lower-silver alloys. Whether you are repairing a commercial kitchen appliance, fabricating custom stainless exhaust systems, or working on HVAC instrumentation, Silvalloy 560 ensures a durable and professional result.

Why Choose Silvalloy 560?

  • Cadmium-Free Safety: Eliminates the risk of cadmium fume exposure, ensuring a safer work environment and compliance with health regulations.
  • Superior Flow: The addition of tin enhances fluidity, allowing the alloy to penetrate deep into capillary spaces for maximum joint strength.
  • Versatility: Compatible with most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, offering a single solution for diverse brazing challenges.

This package contains one troy ounce of 1.6mm wire in a coil, offering easy handling and precise application for detailed work. Ensure your shop is equipped with the best filler metal for high-specification jobs.

FAQ

Silvalloy 560 is classified as AWS A5.8 BAg-7.

No, Silvalloy 560 is a cadmium-free alloy, making it safer for use in food and medical applications compared to older cadmium-bearing solders.

It has a solidus temperature of 1145°F (618°C) and a liquidus temperature of 1205°F (652°C).

Yes, it is an excellent choice for stainless steel due to its good color match and corrosion resistance. It is often used for 300 and 400 series stainless steels.

A general-purpose silver brazing flux, such as Handy Flux, is typically recommended to ensure proper wetting and oxide removal during the brazing process.

No, Silvalloy 560 is designed for copper, brass, steel, and stainless steel. It is not suitable for brazing aluminum or magnesium.

The wire diameter is 1.6mm, which is approximately 1/16 of an inch.

The high silver content lowers the melting point, improves flow and ductility, and increases corrosion resistance, making it ideal for critical joints.
