OVERVIEW

Precision Silver Brazing Alloy for Industrial Applications

The Soudotec Silvershim Kit is a specialized brazing filler metal designed for high-precision joining operations where standard wire feeding is impractical or impossible. Supplied in a strip format measuring 0.010 inches in thickness and 0.500 inches in width, this product is engineered to be cut to size and pre-placed within the joint interface before heating. This "sandwich" technique is particularly critical in the manufacturing and repair of cutting tools, such as brazing carbide tips onto steel shanks, where a uniform bond line thickness is required for maximum shear strength.

The 0.010-inch thickness is metallurgically optimized to provide the ideal capillary clearance for silver brazing alloys, ensuring deep penetration and a void-free bond. The 50-gram quantity is packaged for maintenance and repair operations (MRO), offering sufficient material for numerous small-scale precision jobs without the bulk of industrial coils. Soudotec's commitment to quality ensures that the alloy composition is consistent, providing reliable melting points and flow characteristics essential for critical industrial components.

This shim stock is compatible with standard silver brazing fluxes and can be used with induction heating, torch brazing, or furnace brazing processes. It effectively joins a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it a versatile addition to any professional welding or machine shop inventory.

FAQ

Shim allows for pre-placement of the filler metal within the joint, ensuring 100% coverage and uniform clearance, which is difficult to achieve with wire feeding in flat or blind joints.

Yes, a suitable silver brazing flux is required to remove oxides and allow the alloy to flow and wet the base metals properly.

Yes, the 0.010" thickness is thin enough to be easily cut and shaped using standard tin snips or heavy-duty scissors.

It is suitable for joining most ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, stainless steel, copper, and brass, as well as brazing carbide to steel.

The kit contains 50 grams of silver brazing shim.

No, this shim is designed for tight capillary joints (approx 0.002" to 0.005" clearance after melting). It is not intended to bridge large gaps.

The strip is 0.010 inches thick and 0.500 inches wide.
