BCuP-3 Silver PhosCopper Brazing Rod - 5% Silver - Flat - 1/8" x 0.05" x 20" (2 Lb / 56 Sticks)

SÜA Silver Phos-Copper 5% and was developed primarily for use on copper, but its use has extended to other nonferrous copper base alloys. It is used extensively on refrigeration units, air conditioning apparatus, electrical conductors, copper and brass pipe fittings, and other copper and brass equipment.SÜA Silver Phos-Copper 5% is a copper rich, filler metal that is self-fluxing on copper by virtue of its phosphorus content. The self-fluxing property of this filler metals is effective on copper only. With copper-base alloys, such as brass or bronze, the joints should be fluxed. SÜA Silver Phos-Copper 5% should not be used on nickel-base and iron-base alloys, as the phosphorus reacts with the nickel or iron to form brittle compounds at the interface of the joints.SÜA Silver Phos-Copper 5% should not be used where the joints are exposed to sulfur compounds, especially in gases or oils at temperatures above normal room temperature. As the corrosion by sulfur is cumulative, even very small percentages will eventually cause failure of the joint disintegration. Exposure to pressured steam can also result in accelerated corrosion.The properties of a brazed joint are dependent upon numerous factors including base metal properties, joint design, metallurgical interaction between the base metal and the filler metal.Available in 3 Sticks, 5 Sticks, 9 Sticks, 1 Lb (28 Sticks), 2 Lb (56 Sticks), 5 Lb and 10 Lb.
