SILVACOTE A50N is a cadmium free silver brazing alloy that has found numerous applications for joining 300 series stainless steels in the food, medical and dental fields. Addition of nickel to the silver-copper zinc alloy imparts corrosion properties which retards joint or interface corrosion of the brazed assembly. The nickel element in SILVACOTE A50N also improves the bond strength when joining of tungsten carbide cutting tips. SILVACOTE A50N is a suitable replacement to the cadmium containing BAg-3 alloy. Its low liquidus of 1305°F reduces surface oxidation and sensitization to stainless steels.

Applications
Typical applications are the joining of 300 series stainless steels in the food, medical, and dental fields. A good replacement to SILVACOTE A50N in attaching carbides.
