Mayer Alloys provides solder and lead free products at highly competitive rates, allowing you to use the best materials without sacrificing your budget. With our scrap conversion program, you’ll even be able to get the most out of your materials. We’ll process and refine your metal scraps and add the necessary amounts of tin or lead to provide you with a high quality alloy that meets your specifications. Materials for Every Industry Our high quality materials are perfect for a wide variety of manufacturing applications, from stained glass creation and repair to bearing manufacturing. Whether your products are functional, beautiful, or both, purchasing materials from Mayer Alloys ensures that your goods are created to your high standards. Whether you need lead came for stained glass or genuine Babbitt for bearing construction, our materials meet the highest standards. Choosing an Alloy What is an alloy? Simply put, an alloy is a combination of two or more metals. This often results in an alloy with very different properties from the individual metals that were used to create it. Steel, for example, is an alloy containing large portions of iron with smaller amounts of carbon mixed in. The resulting alloy is stronger than iron itself. There are many different types of alloys for many different purposes. Jewelry is often created with a silver or gold alloy, while tin pewter alloys are often used in industrial applications. Alloys with low melting points, such as bismuth and indium alloys, are known as fusible alloys.
Uses for Rosin Core Solder A common question about solder is whether to use acid core or rosin core solder in a particular task. Which choice is right for you depends on the task at hand. Rosin core solder and rosin core paste is non conductive, non-corrosive and inactive once it sets, making it the only choice for electrical wiring. For highly oxidized or stained materials, highly active rosin core may be a good choice, as it will usually clear away heavy oxidation, creating a cleaner bond. Uses for Acid Core Solder For materials that will be subject to high levels of oxidation, such as plumbing fixtures, acid core solder may be a better choice. Because it stays active even after the soldering process, it is able to maintain a solid join even under heavy oxidization. The nature of acid core solder makes it unsafe for use in any electrical or electronic applications; its tendency to attract water and corrode materials can cause short circuits, potentially resulting in fire or electric shock. Lead Free Solder It is also important to bear in mind that the use of solders that contain tin or lead solder in plumbing that is connected to potable water systems is outlawed in many places. These materials can seep into the water supply, and have been found to pose a health risk, especially for children. Be sure to use lead free solder wire for any applications that affect a drinking water supply.
