Harris Stay Brite #8 Lead Free Silver bearing Solder 1/8 x 1 lb spool

• Certified to ANSI/NSF 51- Food Equipment Materials

Tin-silver lead-free solder with higher silver content provides a melting range while producing strong, ductile connections on copper, brass, steel and stainless steel. Silver color is a good color match to stainless.

Stay-Brite® 8 has a solidus of 430°F (221°C) and a liquidus of 535°F (279°C).
This melting range provides the ability to fill wider clearance parts.

DETAILS:

Stay Brite 8 solders bond with all of the ferrous and nonferrous alloys. Joints soldered with Stay Brite 8 solders exhibit considerably higher than necessary elongation for sound, dissimilar metal joints and vibration applications. Stay Brite produces an overall component with greater strength than a brazed component whose base metals are weakened by annealment from high brazing heat.

Features:

• Engineered to provide strong, ductile connections on copper, brass, steel and stainless steel
• Silver color is a good color match to stainless steel
• Its higher silver content provides a melting range versus a single temperature melting point
• The melting range makes it suitable for soldering connections with a wider clearance
• Its low temperature characteristic promotes capillary flow and less base metal distortion and oxidation
• Often selected for residential HVAC tube connections as an alternative to brazing
• Meets NSF Standard 51 for food service equipment
• Conforms to the EU Reach & RoHS directive

Typical Applications:

• Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC)
• Refrigeration
• Loosely fitted couplings

TAY-BRITE® JOINT vs. BRAZING JOINT

Stay-Brite® offers these important advantages over silver brazing:
• Lower material costs up to 66%
• Lowers temperature up to 60%
• Speeds production up to 400%
• Faster post cleaning with little metal discoloration
• Elimination of base metal distortion
• Elimination of base metal annealment
• Elimination of oxide scale formed by heat
• Cadmium-free and nontoxic
• No internal oxide scale, so nitrogen purge is unnecessary
