DETAILS
Stay Brite 8 solders bond with all of the ferrous and nonferrous alloys. Joints soldered with Stay Brite 8 solders exhibit considerably higher than necessary elongation for sound, dissimilar metal joints and vibration applications. Stay Brite produces an overall component with greater strength than a brazed component whose base metals are weakened by annealment from high brazing heat.
Features
- Engineered to provide strong, ductile connections on copper, brass, steel and stainless steel
- Silver color is a good color match to stainless steel
- Its higher silver content provides a melting range versus a single temperature melting point
- The melting range makes it suitable for soldering connections with a wider clearance
- Its low temperature characteristic promotes capillary flow and less base metal distortion and oxidation
- Often selected for residential HVAC tube connections as an alternative to brazing
- Meets NSF Standard 51 for food service equipment
- Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive
Typical Applications
- Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC)
- Refrigeration
- Loosely fitted couplings
