PROSTAR RG-45 Steel Gas Welding Rod, 1/8″, 1 lb | ZPS36RG451251

Low fuming bronze and flux-coated bronze are general purpose oxy-acetylene rods for braze welding steel, cast iron, malleable iron, and some nickel alloys. Commonly used for fusion welding of brass, bronze, and copper alloys. Excellent choice for rush jobs, building up wear surfaces, and temporary applications involving dissimilar metals, or when rust is present. Galvanized parts can be brazed without causing damage to the zinc coating.

A precisely formulated chemical balance of copper and zinc, along with alloying elements of tin, iron and manganese. Produces highstrength ductile and sound weld deposits that are easily machined. The high-silicon content keeps fumes to a minimum and allows for good tinning action. Preheating is recommended for some applications. Bronze brazing flux is required for the bare rods.

RG-45 is a general purpose oxy-fuel rod for welding on steel plate, sheet and pipe wrought iron where strength up to 45 ksi is required. You do not need a flux when welding with this product.
