Description

COPPER CuSi3 2.4MM TIG BRAZING RODS (C9)

BS 2901 1990 Pt3 C9 CuSi3

Copper TIG brazing wire 2.4mm available as 1kg (loose), 2.5kg (loose) or 5kg (Packaged).  Constructed from Silicon (3%) and manganese (1%) and copper (balance). Use these TIG rods for joining copper, bronze, brass and other base materials of similar composition.  In addition, use this brazing filler wire for surfacing steel, plus dissimilar applications.  Due to the unique chemical composition of these rods they are highly resistant to the effects of corrosion. This  providing longevity of the finished join.

Furthermore, Copper brazing rods have excellent mechanical properties. Such as high tensile and shear strength, as a result they can withstand significant forces without failing, breaking or compromising structural integrity.  These rods have a lower melting point which as a result produces minimal fumes and smoke during the brazing process.  Making them a safer option for operatives and the working environment.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Suitable for all welding positions (see below).  The key benefits include excellent corrosion resistance even in harsh environments.  Good mechanical properties which provides high tensile and shear strength ensuring resistance to the possibility of cracking or failing. Lower melting point resulting in the reduced production of unwanted fumes and smoke. Conforms to standards EN14640 Cu 6560 and BS 2901 C9. Constructed from 3% Silicon, 1% Manganese and the balance of Copper in keeping with the standard Cu6560 (CuSi3Mn1). Suitable to be used with galvanised steel.

WELDING POSITIONS

BRAZING APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS TO BE JOINED

Copper TIG Brazing Wire is suitable for use in numerous applications including but not limited to heating and ventilation industries, ship building/offshore and tubular product fabrication.  These rods are also used in sculpture repair.  Moreover they are often used in the plumbing industry where stresses such as high pressures and vibrations which may affect the structure of important joints.

Use Copper TIG rods with Oxy/Acetylene for the fusion of copper alloys with brass.  Furthermore an Oxy/Acetylene flame should be slightly oxidising. This is recommended as higher levels of oxygen can be helpful when brazing difficult metals.  However this process can have adverse effects if not used correctly.  It is therefore important materials are cleaned prior to welding. It is also advisable to avoid overheating during the brazing process, as this could result in compromising the integrity of the join.
