Brighter and harder than traditional sterling silver, LG422 contains germanium, which forms a protective oxide on the surface to resist tarnishing and fire scale — meaning your work cleans up faster and stays bright and shiny longer. This alloy is compatible with both traditional silver and argentium silver solders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheet is sold by the inch and priced per 6\" × 1\" piece. Otto Frei cuts to order in full-inch increments along the 6\" width, from a minimum of 6\" × 1\" up to the maximum sheet size of 6\" × 12\". To order a 6\" × 6\" continuous piece, add a quantity of 6 to your cart. To specify multiple cut sizes of the same gauge, order the total number of inches and include cutting instructions in the comment field at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Anti-Tarnish LG422 sterling silver sheet ships in \u003cstrong\u003e½ hard\u003c\/strong\u003e temper (Vickers Hardness 105–118). Dead soft or annealed LG422 has a Vickers Hardness of 60–70.

This alloy contains germanium; if heated insufficiently before quenching, it may crack. Allow the piece to air cool until the glow is no longer visible with lights on (a slight glow may remain with lights off), then water quench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-tarnish and fire-scale-resistant LG422 sterling silver alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured by LeachGarner, leading U.S. precious metal mill house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrighter and harder than traditional sterling silver\/copper alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with traditional silver and argentium silver solders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in ½ hard temper; easily annealed to dead soft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut to order in full-inch increments along the 6\" width (1\"–12\" maximum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 26, 28, and 30 gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAlloy\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeachGarner LG422 Anti-Tarnish Sterling Silver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSheet Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Sheet Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMinimum Order Cut\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\" × 1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTemper\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e½ Hard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVickers Hardness (½ Hard)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105–118\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVickers Hardness (Dead Soft)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60–70\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDensity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.36 troy oz\/in³\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSolidus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1504°F (818°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLiquidus\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1655°F (902°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAnnealing Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000°F–1200°F (538°C–649°C), 30–60 min dwell; age at 575°F–650°F (300°C–350°C) for 45–60 min\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrazing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTorch or furnace; best with solders flowing below 1350°F (732°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStamping \/ Drawing \/ Spinning \/ Rolling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCasting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEnameling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeachGarner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGauge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
