SILVER-FLO 43 has a medium brazing temperature, long melting range, and poor flow characteristics. It is not commonly used but has found use in the shipbuilding industry and in marine applications because it is the lowest silver content filler metal, which is resistant to dezincification. It is a good fillet forming and gap filling filler metal.

SILVER-FLO 24 has been incorporated into aviation / aerospace industry standards and is consequently used in the manufacture of components for applications in this field. It is also used as the first alloy in a two-step silver brazing operation, where the second joint is made with SILVER-FLO 55.

SILVER-FLO 20 is a high melting point silver brazing filler metal that has a comparatively narrow melting range providing reasonable flow properties when molten. It can be used when colour matching to brass is required.

SILVER-FLO 45 is a cadmium free silver brazing alloy originally developed and manufactured to a Johnson Matthey specification. Today this alloy has been largely superseded by SILVER-FLO 452, and is generally only offered where it is included in an old specification.

SILVER-FLO 45 combines a low brazing temperature with a short melting range. It is very free flowing and produces smooth neat joints with small fillets. The alloy is tin and silicon free. The optimum joint gap at brazing temperature is normally 0.05-0.15mm.

SILVER-FLO 34 is a cadmium free silver brazing filler metal. It exhibits poor / sluggish flow characteristics melting over a 100°C temperature range. Because of these characteristics SILVER-FLO 34 is not widely used today.

SILVER-FLO 34 has an ability to fill gaps that cannot be tightly controlled and to build fillets. Optimum joint gaps at brazing temperature are 0.075-0.2mm.

SILVER-FLO 33 is a cadmium free silver brazing filler metal. It shows free flowing characteristics melting over a short, but comparatively high, temperature range (700-740°C). It is a good brazing filler metal that has been used as the second filler metal in a three step sequential brazing process along with SILVER-FLO 16 and SILVER-FLO 55.

33 is not widely used today. Optimum joint gaps at brazing temperature are 0.075-0.2mm.

SILVER-FLO 30 is a cadmium free silver brazing filler metal that has been adopted for a thermal spray coating process used in the aerospace industry. It is supplied as a wire on plastic reels suitable for feeding into a thermal spray gun.

The filler metal itself has a long and high melting range and poor flow characteristics hence it is not used as a brazing filler metal to any extent. Optimum joint gaps at brazing temperature are 0.075-0.2mm.

SILVER-FLO 25 is a high melting point cadmium free silver brazing filler metal. It has a high melting temperature(700 to 790°C) with a quoted melting range of 90°C. This melting range suggests medium to sluggish flow properties when molten. The high brazing temperature of the filler metal makes it less easy to use than the high silver content alloys.

Optimum joint gaps at brazing temperature are 0.075-0.2mm.

SILVER-FLO 18 is a high melting point cadmium free silver brazing filler metal. It has a high melting temperature(784 to 816°C) but a narrow melting range of only 32°C providing good flow properties when molten. The high brazing temperature of the filler metal makes it less easy to use than the high silver content alloys. Consequently it is not widely used. This product is a relatively inexpensive filler metal to purchase. However the cost per brazed joint of actually using the alloy may not be favourable in comparison to lower melting point, higher silver content filler metals. Optimum joint gaps at brazing temperature are 0.075-0.2mm.

SILVER-FLO 16 is a high melting point cadmium free silver brazing filler metal. It has a high melting temperature(790 to 830°C) but a narrow melting range of only 40°C providing good flow properties when molten.The high brazing temperature of the filler metal makes it less easy to use than the high silver content alloys. Consequently it is not widely used. This product is a relatively inexpensive filler metal to purchase. However the cost per brazed joint of actually using the alloy may not be favourable in comparison to lower melting point, higher silver content filler metals. Optimum joint gaps at brazing temperature are 0.075-0.2mm.
