Uses
AM Ag-24 is the one of the most versatile and effective silver brazing alloys available. AM Ag-24 is excellent for joining stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, nickel, and all iron base alloys. AM Ag-24 can be safely used on food processing and medical equipment. AM Ag-24 is also the preferred silver brazing filler metal for carbides and cutting tools due to its nickel content and diffusion properties. AM Ag-24 is also recommended for joining Copper to Copper, Copper to Brass, All Stainless Steels, Nickel, and Aluminum Bronze. AM Ag-24 is also available in a tri-metal foil (1:2:1 Ratio) of AM Ag-24, Copper, AM Ag-24.
Brazing Characteristics
AM Ag-24 has a narrow melting range and is very fluid at brazing temperature. It is recommended to heat the base metals uniformly and quickly through its melting range. AM Ag-24 will require a brazing Flux in almost all applications.
Specifications
AM Ag-24 conforms to American Welding Society (AWS) A5.8/A5.8M 2019: BAg-24 and Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) AMS 4788
Forms Available
Wire, Foil, Atomized powder, Paste, Sheet, and Preformed shapes; rings, washers, discs, shims, specialty shapes. Two dimensional shapes can be Laser-cut and/or machined with EDM. Preforms must be cleaned prior to brazing.
