A rapidly solidified (RS) low-sliver brazing alloy with 50% saving in
silver has been developed as a potential substitute for the convention
al Ag 72% - Cu 28% eutectic alloy. Major applications are envisioned i
n the electronics and vacuum tube industries. The RS alloy possesses b
razing characteristics better than its conventionally cast counterpart
, and superior to the traditional silver-copper eutectic alloy.
