Weldcote Silicon Bronze Alloy TIG Rod, 3/16″ x 36″, 10 Lb
- 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.
