Key Features & Usage:

  • Material: Bronze with a gold-yellow color. Bronze is a highly durable and heat-resistant material, making it ideal for high-temperature brazing applications.

  • Rod Length & Size: The rod length is 36 inches, and the diameter is 1/8". This size is great for creating precise and strong joints in metal components.

  • Application: Primarily for brazing and soldering metal parts, especially in HVAC, plumbing, and other metalworking tasks where durable joints are needed.

Brazing Process:

  • Preheating: For some applications, preheating the parts is essential. The oxidizing flame ensures the proper bonding of the bronze material, and avoiding overheating is crucial to prevent damaging the part.

  • Flux Usage: For ease, use LFBB (low flux brazing) flux, especially if you’re using LFBFC (flux-free brazing). The flux helps the brazing material flow smoothly into the joint.

  • Cavity Formation: Be aware that cavities may form due to zinc vapors—it's important to clean the area thoroughly before soldering to ensure the joint integrity.

  • Finishing: After brazing, cooling the joint slowly and cleaning with a wire brush gives a yellow brass color finish, ensuring a clean, aesthetically pleasing joint.

Safety Notes:

  • Ensure proper ventilation when brazing as high temperatures and flux fumes can be harmful.

  • Wear protective equipment such as gloves and safety goggles to avoid burns or exposure to fumes.
