Product Specifications

Uses

AM Ag-5 is a general purpose and effective silver brazing alloy for most applications. AM Ag-5 is excellent for joining copper and brass with good ductility and capillary flow. AM Ag-5 is a common alloy assigned by the federal government for brazing on ships. AM Ag-5 exhibits high corrosion resistance for braze joints exposed to salt-water. 

 

Brazing Characteristics

AM Ag-5 has silver/yellow braze fillet which is desired for color match on copper and brass. AM Ag-5 will require a low temperature brazing Flux in almost all applications.
