OVERVIEW

Easy-to-Use 56% Silver Solder with Flux Coating

Take the hassle out of precision brazing with our 56% Silver Flux-Coated Brazing Rods. Perfect for both professional welders and skilled hobbyists, these rods come ready to use with a high-quality orange flux coating directly on the wire. This means you don't have to worry about buying or applying separate flux paste—just heat your part and apply the rod. The 1.6mm (1/16") diameter is versatile enough for delicate jewelry work, HVAC repairs, or fixing stainless steel kitchen equipment.

Safe, Strong, and Clean Results

Safety is a top priority, which is why this alloy is completely cadmium-free (AWS BAg-7). It is safe for use on food-grade equipment and medical devices when processed correctly. The high silver content (56%) ensures that your repairs aren't just strong; they are also ductile and resistant to vibration and corrosion. If you are working with stainless steel, you will appreciate how the silver color blends seamlessly with the metal, leaving a professional-looking finish that doesn't turn black or brittle like lower-quality alloys might.

Perfect for Small Repairs

Sold in a convenient 1/4 lb tube, this pack is ideal for your toolbox or workshop shelf. You get enough material for several small projects without the expense of a bulk industrial coil. Whether you are repairing a brass fitting, joining copper pipes, or fabricating a custom stainless steel bracket, these rods flow smoothly at a relatively low temperature (around 1200°F), making it easier to control your heat and avoid melting your base metal. Upgrade your brazing game with the premium flow and ease of flux-coated silver rods.

FAQ

This rod meets the AWS A5.8 classification for BAg-7.

Yes, this is a cadmium-free alloy, making it safer for use in food and medical applications compared to older cadmium-bearing solders.

Generally, no. The rod is flux-coated (orange coating), which is usually sufficient for most clean joints. However, for long capillary runs or dirty metal, adding a little extra white flux paste can help.

The alloy has a solidus of 1145°F (618°C) and a liquidus of 1205°F (652°C).

No, silver brazing alloys are not suitable for aluminum. This rod is for copper, brass, steel, and stainless steel.

The orange color is the manufacturer's color code for the flux coating, often used to identify the specific flux type or to distinguish high-silver content rods.

Yes, because it is cadmium-free (BAg-7), it is the standard choice for food equipment repairs, provided the joint is cleaned properly after brazing.

The count varies by length and coating thickness, but a 1/4 lb tube of 1.6mm rods typically contains approximately 6 to 10 rods.
