Metco™ 8526 is a silver-based alloy that has a higher melting temperature and higher strength than pure silver. As a braze filler metal, Metco 8526 can be used to join copper, brass, nickel-silver, bronze, steel, and other non-ferrous alloys that melt above 765 °C (1450 °F). It can join dissimilar metals like ferrous to non-ferrous substrates, such as nickel, copper, brass and silver, with close joint clearances. Its wide melting range of 90 °C (160 °F) can be used in wide-gap applications.
