Xringer,

I found this dialog on a HVAC blog... thought you might find it interesting.

Hi Guys
I recently was given some brazing rods which are absolutely brilliant to use.

These are Johnson Matthey Silphos 5 but here is the twist the label states that they are "Silver Flashed".
I have been on the manufacturers website and they do list the commonly known Silphos rods.

But I cannot find anything about the Silver Flashed ones.
Can anyone advise?

Maybe they haven't updated their website for new products. By the way are they cadmium free?

Good question.
I will check the box in the morning.

Unless they are ancient they will be cadmium free
May want to do your brazing in open air.
