Weldcote Silicon Bronze Alloy TIG Rod, 1/16″ x 36″, 10 Lb | SIB116X36T

• Weldcote Silicon Bronze is a copper based filler metal containing 3% silicon and small amounts of manganese, tin and zinc.
• Primarily used for MIG, TIG and oxy-acetylene welding of copper, copper-silicon and copper-zinc base metals to themselves and steel.
• Excellent for plain or galvanized steel sheet metal as well as other coated steels

Applications

• Weldcote Metals Silicon Bronze is also used for surfacing areas subject to corrosion.
• The oxy-acetylene gas flame should be slightly oxidizing. Keep the weld puddle small in order to promote fast solidification and minimize cracking.
• A high boric acid flux should be used both before and during welding. Preheating is NOT recommended.
