1/8" x 0.050" x 18" BCuP-2 Self-Fluxing Copper-to-Copper Brazing Rod, 1/2 Lbs

Forney® BCuP-2 brazing rod is a high stength, self-fluxing torch alloy for copper-to-copper applications. Excellent for fabrication and repair of copper air conditioning components, refrigeration components, radiators, heat exchangers, and other devices made from copper sheet and fittings. The rod is designed to produce smooth thin fillets in clean copper-to-copper joints without flux. Joins copper busbars, electrical conduit, cable, and fabricated copper vessels without flux in applications where flux is detrimental. Provides excellent corrosion resistance and will withstand severe vibrations. Can be used for joining copper to brass or bronze with the use of silver paste flux (AWS A5.31-91 Type FB3A, 0-F499, Type B). Not recommended for steel or nickel alloys.

Welding Techniques: Clean joint area well. When joining copper-to-copper use without flux. Use a large size tip, carburizing flame and heat are broadly. Keep the flame 2" (50.8mm) to 3" (76.2mm) from the base metal and keep the torch in constant motion.

When joining brass or bronze to copper or brass to bronze, use silver paste flux. Paint paste along the joint line and heat broadly until the flux first dries and then melts. Feed the rod into the joint, keeping the torch in constant motion. When a continuous fillet is observed, remove the flame and allow the molten metal to solidify. Flux residue should be removed by washing in warm water.
