INTRODUCTION

SilverAlloy A-56T has the lowest brazing temperature, best wetting, and best flow of all the cadmium-free alloys. It has a slight plastic range which may be noticed during melting on some applications. Its low zinc content minimizes problems due to longer heating cycles (as in furnace brazing) or due to excessive heating (as by less skilled operators). For this reason, it is often preferred over SilverAlloy 35, SilverAlloy 45, or SilverAlloy 50 for furnace brazing, or any brazing operation where the alloy is molten for an extended period of time. The fact that SilverAlloy A-56T contains no cadmium has led to its use on food- or medical-grade equipment, where cadmium may be considered a hazard and its use is prohibited by law. Excellent replacement to cadmium-containing alloys when low melt temperature is required. Good corrosion properties. Color match to stainless.
