Brazing Alloys
Use these brazing alloys with a variety of metals.
Alloys without cadmium are safer to use than brazing alloys with cadmium and help meet industry regulations.
BAg-1 and BAg-5 alloys are for most general purpose applications. They contain silver, which produces a smoother flow when melted to create a stronger joint than RBCuZn-C.
BAg-4 alloys are widely used for brazing carbide tips as well as stainless steel food containers and food handling equipment.

Corrosion-Resistant Brazing Alloys
Use these alloys on metal subject to corrosion.
BAg-3 alloys are recommended for use on stainless steel that is subject to chloride corrosion, such as marine hardware.
BAg-24 alloys are often used with 300 series stainless steel. They do not include cadmium, so they are safer than alloys that contain cadmium and help meet industry regulations.

Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps
When melted, these alloys form a thin liquid that easily flows into smaller gaps than standard brazing alloys. They don’t contain cadmium, so they’re safer than other brazing alloys with cadmium and help you meet industry regulations.
BAg-36 alloys are often used in the piping and automotive industry.
BAg-34 alloys flow and spread easier than BAg-36 alloys. They’re often used in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.
