OVERVIEW

Versatile 3/32" Bare Bronze Rod for Oxy-Acetylene Brazing

Tackle your toughest metal repairs with the Aufhauser Bare Bronze Low Fuming Brazing Rod. This 2.5mm (3/32") filler metal is a staple for any welder's arsenal, specifically designed for oxy-acetylene brazing applications. Whether you are fixing a cracked cast iron manifold, repairing a bicycle frame, or creating artistic metal sculptures, this rod delivers consistent, high-strength results. The "Low Fuming" designation means the alloy is formulated to suppress the vaporization of zinc, keeping the air cleaner and your puddle visible.

Because this is a bare rod, it gives you the flexibility to apply exactly as much flux as you need, using standard borax-based brazing flux. The rod melts smoothly and flows deep into joints, creating strong bonds between dissimilar metals. It is excellent for joining steel to copper, repairing galvanized iron without destroying the coating, and fixing malleable iron parts. The deposit solidifies with a bronze color that matches well with many brass and bronze base metals, making it great for restoration work.

One of the standout features of this product is its machinability. After the repair is complete, the bronze deposit can be drilled, tapped, or filed down to a smooth finish, making it perfect for gear tooth repairs or bearing surface buildup. It is a forgiving material that allows for easy heat control, reducing the risk of warping your base metal. Add this reliable filler rod to your shop to handle everything from automotive bodywork to plumbing repairs.

FAQ

Yes, this is a bare bronze rod, so you must use an external brazing flux (typically borax-based) to clean the metal and ensure the rod flows properly.

This rod meets the AWS A5.8 classification for RBCuZn-C, which is the standard for low-fuming bronze brazing filler metals.

Yes, low fuming bronze is excellent for brazing cast iron. It requires less heat than fusion welding, which reduces the risk of cracking the cast iron.

The rod diameter is 2.5mm, which is approximately equivalent to 3/32 of an inch.

This rod is designed for use with an oxy-acetylene or oxy-fuel torch setup. It is not intended for TIG or MIG welding.

Yes, brazing with this rod is a common method for joining galvanized steel because it can be done at temperatures that minimize damage to the zinc coating compared to electric arc welding.

It contains small amounts of silicon and manganese which help suppress the vaporization of zinc during the heating process, reducing white fumes and improving visibility.

While dependent on the base metal and joint design, RBCuZn-C deposits typically offer a tensile strength in the range of 50,000 to 60,000 psi.
