Brazing Alloy for Steel, Cast Iron and Copper
This low-fuming bronze rod joins steel, cast iron and copper in a single process. It contains no silver and carries an AWS RBCuZn-C classification. Supplied as bare 1/8 in rods in a 1 lb container.
Sustained heat behaviour
The alloy melts between 1,590 and 1,630 Degrees F and reaches a capacity of 1,750 Degrees F during prolonged heating. A compatible chuck temperature of 1,670 Degrees F supports steady torch work without overheating the rod.
Mechanical strength decides suitability
Tensile strength is 71 ksi and yield strength is 64 ksi, defining the joint load limit for structural brazing. Buyers who need higher strength or silver-bearing alloys should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the 1/8 in diameter rod produce much fume or heat during long brazing sessions?
The alloy is classed as low-fuming bronze with a solidus of 590 °F and liquidus of 630 °F, so fume and heat output stay moderate during extended use.
What base metals and equipment do I need before I can use this RBCuZn-C rod?
It joins steel, cast iron and copper; you need a torch capable of reaching at least 1,630 °F and a compatible 1/8 in chuck or holder.
Will this 36 in bare rod work with the older oxy-acetylene setup I already own?
Yes — the bare RBCuZn-C rod melts at 1,630 °F, well within the range of standard oxy-acetylene equipment, and requires no special flux coating.
