2% Silver 6% Phosphorus containing copper rod.

Melting Point 645-740°C
Ult Tensile Strength 430N/mm2
Hardness 195

Gas Welding: Oxy/Acetylene, Oxy/Propane


A copper phosphorus alloy with the addition of 2% silver to improve ductility and flowing characteristics.
Highly resistant to corrosion and not subject to dezincification.
It is ideal for hot water cylinders, electric motors and also general maintenance work.
Suitable for use in heating and ventilation industries, ship building, refrigeration and offshore and electrical industries.
Owing to low ductility, it should only be used with capillary type joints. ‘Bell mouthed’ joints should be avoided.
This high quality copper phosphorous rod is recommended for use when brazing seams on hot water cylinders, as it is highly resistant to corrosion.
Can also be used in the production of electric motors and dynamos.
The optimum brazing gap is typically 0.05 - 0.2mm.
Not suitable to braze iron-containing materials like carbon or stainless steels or nickel.
