Why Use Stay-Silv White Flux?
Oxide Removal & Protection
During heating, brazing flux helps dissolve existing surface oxides and reduces additional oxidation of properly prepared base metals. This allows compatible brazing filler metal to wet and flow through the joint more effectively.
Ready-to-Use Paste
The paste consistency allows Stay-Silv White Flux to be applied directly to properly cleaned joint surfaces before heating, making it convenient for shop, field and repair brazing applications.
Application & Cleanup
Joint Preparation
Clean the base metals thoroughly before brazing. Apply an appropriate amount of Stay-Silv White Flux to the joint surfaces and heat the assembly evenly according to the applicable brazing procedure.
Post-Braze Cleanup
Remove remaining flux residue after brazing once the assembly has cooled sufficiently. Warm or hot water can help dissolve water-soluble residue, with additional brushing or mechanical cleaning used when necessary.
Product Selection Considerations
Silver Brazing Filler Metal
Select a Harris silver brazing alloy that is compatible with the base metals, joint design, service conditions and applicable brazing procedure.
Heating Cycle
Stay-Silv White is intended for general brazing applications. Applications involving extended heating cycles or unusually high brazing temperatures may require a different Harris flux formulation.
