Features

• The process is similar to brazing as the base metal is not melted
• Unlike brazing the rod must be continually applied as you move down the joint
• Focus the flame on the part and heat until a dull red appears, then apply the rod, melting the rod with the flame to deposit a uniform braze layer along joint
• Clean the area to be brazed
• Apply with a "braze welding" technique
• Bevel heavier sections approximately 15 degrees
• Flux with bare No. 170 use Harris 17 paste flux
• Use a neutral flame preheat and preheat joint
• Remove flux residue by wire brushing with hot water
• Melting point - 1750°F
• Tensile strength - Up to 95,000 psi
• Working temperature range - 1700°F to 1800°F
• Brinell hardness - 90-100
• Uses substantially less filler material than a regular brazing rod
