PROSTAR Silicon Bronze TIG Welding Rod, 1/16″, 1 lb | ZPS36SILBR0621

Silicon bronze contains 3% silicon and residual amounts of manganese, tin and zinc. The high-silicon content allows this alloy to be used in welding and brazing procedures. Silicon bronze is best known for welding plain or galvanized steel sheet metal. Principal applications include TIG or oxy-acetylene welding of copper, copper-silicon and copper-zinc base metals to themselves and to steel. Silicon bronze is also used for surfacing parts that may be exposed to a corrosive environment. The weld deposits of this alloy demonstrate high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good weldability.
