ULTRACOTE A50N STRIP® 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 jointor interface corrosion of the brazed assembly. The nickel element in ULTRACOTE A50N STRIP® also improves the bond strength when joining tungsten carbide cutting tips.

ULTRACOTE A50N STRIP® 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. The addition of flux to the surface of the strip removes any variation of hand painting the flux, leaving you with the specified amount of flux for your brazing application every time, making the joining process highly repeatable.

Applications
Typical applications are the joining of 300 series stainless steels in the food, medical, and dental fields. A good replacement to SILVALOY 50N® in attaching carbides.
