This specification covers a silver alloy in the form of wire, rod, sheet, strip, foil, pig, powder, shot, and chips and a viscous mixture (paste) of powder in a suitable binder. This material has been used typically for torch or induction brazing ferrous metals, particularly austenitic steels and alloys, where high joint strength up to 600 degrees F (316 degrees C) for short-time service or up to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for long-time service is required, and for joining nonferrous metals except those having base of aluminum or magnesium, but usage is not limited to such applications.
