Product Identity
This bronze brazing alloy rod is designed for joining copper, steel, brass and similar metals in repair and fabrication work. It suits professional welders, HVAC technicians and maintenance crews who need a strong, ductile joint with good electrical conductivity.
Critical Specification
The rod contains 56 percent copper and delivers a tensile strength of 71,000 psi, meeting AWS A5.8 classification for reliable brazing performance. The melting range falls between 1670 and 1750 degrees Fahrenheit, which determines whether the alloy flows properly for a given base metal and torch setup. Buyers who require a different copper ratio, a lower melting point or a higher strength rating should select another alloy.
Installation Notes
Each rod measures 5/32 inch in diameter and 36 inches long, allowing manual feeding with a standard brazing torch. Clean the joint area thoroughly and apply flux to prevent oxidation; insufficient cleaning is the most common cause of weak or porous joints. Overheating past the narrow melting window can burn off zinc and reduce strength, so maintain even heat and watch for the alloy to flow smoothly into the capillary gap.

Questions about this item
How does the 71,000 psi tensile strength hold up in a real joint?
The rod delivers 71,000 psi tensile strength once brazed, giving a bond that resists pulling forces in structural or repair work.
What does the AWS A5.8 classification limit in practice?
AWS A5.8 certifies the alloy composition and melting range of 1670 to 1750 °F, so the rod meets industry specs for bronze brazing filler metal.
Will the 5/32 in by 36 in rods fit my torch setup?
Each rod is 5/32 inch in diameter and 36 inches long, a standard size that feeds through most hand-held brazing torches and holders.
