NS116 - Nickel Silver Brazing Rod 1/16" - RBCuZn-D Alloy - 10lb

High-Strength Brazing with Nickel Silver

When you need a braze joint that is tougher than standard bronze and looks like steel, the Techniweld Nickel Silver 1/16" Rod is your go-to solution. Don't let the name fool you—there's no expensive silver in here, just a robust blend of copper, zinc, and nickel that creates one of the strongest brazing alloys available. This rod is a favorite among fabricators who work on custom bicycle frames, motorcycle parts, and antique restoration because it flows smoothly and leaves a deposit that polishes up to a bright, steel-like finish, blending seamlessly with your base metal.

One of the biggest advantages of this rod is its versatility. Whether you are repairing a cracked cast iron manifold, building up worn gear teeth, or joining tubular steel, this rod handles it all. The 1/16" diameter is perfect for fine detail work where you don't want to dump too much filler at once. It offers excellent control under the torch, wetting out evenly without the excessive fuming you might get from cheaper brass rods. If you are using an oxy-acetylene torch, pair this with a good quality brazing flux to get that liquid-smooth flow. It can also be used for TIG brazing if you have the skill, giving you even cleaner results.

Durability is key with Nickel Silver. The deposits are hard and wear-resistant, making them ideal for surfacing applications where parts rub together. It takes a beating better than standard brass, so your repairs last longer. This 10 lb tube is a great investment for any shop that handles diverse metal repairs. Instead of stocking five different rods, you can often rely on Nickel Silver for its high strength and compatibility with steel, cast iron, and nickel alloys. It's the heavy-duty problem solver for your filler metal rack.
