Brazing Rod For Sheet Metal

Applied with a high quality coating to help speed up brazing time.

Brazing rod for sheet metal.

A 6 4 mm 1 4 in diameter rod is usually used for thicknesses over this. A low fuming rod of the highest quality. The brazing rod should be melted by the heat of the metal pieces being joined not by direct contact with the flame of the torch. Brazing is a quick and inexpensive alternative to welding.

The filler metal carries a warning label. Quick and easy brazing aluminum copper and nonferrous metals. Brazing is similar to soldering but at higher temperatures. Use the right brazing rod material for the metal used in your project.

Recommended rods by metal type. 513 754 6015 additional information available at our web site. It might seem that all you have to do is bring joints up to a relatively low temperature and flow brazing rod into the space between the pieces. Brazing is also much easier then welding it s a lot like using a glue gun.

The silicon bronze rod s lower melting point makes it ideal for joining together thin sheet metal galvanized steel and nuts and bolts too. Brazing is a metal joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. The oxyacetylene flame shall be directed mainly on the filler to minimize heat input to the base metal. Brazing is a technique for joining pieces of metal together by filling the join between the two metal pieces with a molten intermediary metal.

Designed for high strength and wear resistance. The lincoln electric 1 8 in. Brazing is distinguished from welding because it uses an intermediary material usually a copper zinc alloy to join the two metal pieces rather than melting the pieces. Brazing differs from welding in that it does not involve melting the work pieces and from soldering in using higher temperatures for a similar process while also requiring much.

The equipment in this project can be bought for as little as 30 dollars. It s nice for sheet metal work because the lower melting temps means less heat which equals less warping when compared to tig with say an er70 rod. Flux coated brazing rods 1lb tube are malleable and are designed to fuse well with cast iron galvanized iron steel brass and copper. Consult pages 34 37 or the safety data sheet sds for maximum recommended brazing temperatures of a specific filler metal.

Use a torch that produces a high intensity flame. 6 4 3 a generous quantity of brazing flux applied to the filler rod and the joint area reduces zinc loss and produces sound joints.
