Silver Solder 45% Ag – 1.6mm Diameter – Cadmium-Free

Product Overview

This 45% silver brazing alloy is a premium, cadmium-free solder designed for high-strength joints in metalworking, jewelry making, HVAC, plumbing, and general fabrication. With a 1.6mm wire diameter, it offers precise, controllable feeding for detailed brazing work while delivering the strength and reliability professionals demand.

Key Features

• 45% Silver Content – High silver alloy composition provides excellent flow characteristics, strong capillary action, and superior joint strength across a wide range of base metals including copper, brass, bronze, steel, and stainless steel.
• 1.6mm Diameter Wire – A versatile mid-range gauge suited for both fine detail work and general-purpose brazing, offering a good balance between control and deposition rate.
• Cadmium-Free (Cad Free) Formulation – Manufactured without cadmium, making it a safer choice for indoor use, food-grade applications, jewelry fabrication, and environments with strict health and safety requirements. Reduces exposure to toxic fumes during brazing.
• Low Melting Range – Enables efficient, lower-temperature joining that minimizes heat distortion, oxidation, and stress on surrounding base metals.
• Excellent Wetting & Flow – Produces clean, smooth, void-free joints with strong capillary penetration into tight-fitting joints.
• High Joint Strength – Ideal for applications requiring durable, long-lasting, and corrosion-resistant connections.
• Versatile Application – Suitable for HVAC/R systems, plumbing, tool and die repair, jewelry and metal art, electrical contacts, and general silver brazing tasks.

Typical Applications

• HVAC and refrigeration line brazing
• Plumbing and pipefitting
• Jewelry making and silversmithing
• Tool, die, and carbide tip brazing
• Electrical and electronic component joining
• General metal fabrication and repair

Why Choose Cadmium-Free Silver Solder?

Cadmium-free silver solder eliminates the health risks associated with cadmium oxide fumes released during traditional cadmium-bearing brazing alloys. This makes it the preferred and often required choice for jewelers, indoor workshops, food-industry equipment repair, and any application where operator safety and environmental compliance are priorities.
