USES 

HZ-Ag50F readily wets nickel and iron base alloys. It is recommended for joining 300 Series stainless steel and will retard interface corrosion in most exposures for which the base metals are suitable. Because this alloy is cadmium-free, it can be safely used on food handling equipment and hospital utensils. The presence of nickel in HZ-Ag50F aids in the joining of small tungsten carbide inserts in cutting tools. 

 

 

BRAZING CHARACTERISTICS

HZ-Ag50F is very fluid at its flow point and will quickly fill long, narrow joints. Its low flow point will minimize oxidation of the stainless steel during brazing.
