These 40 pcs Brass Brazing Rods work well for general-purpose brazing and small repair projects. The copper-zinc-tin-silicon alloy gives a nice flow, and they bond well with aluminum and zinc-based metals. The 1/16” x 10” size is great for detailed work, and they melt smoothly with a gas torch.That said, they do take a little practice to get the best results, and they may not be ideal for heavy-duty industrial use. But for DIYers, hobbyists, and light repairs, they’re a solid choice!

I tried a couple of them. They braze just fine with an oxy-propane torch and a little bit of flux.Flux is absolutely nescessary.They are as good as any other brass brazing rod. Will happily reorder when these run out.

These VOUYAR brazing rods melt and flow easily with the use of additional flux and being 10 inches long and .08 inch thick- are easy to hold and control when fixing something. I have several pieces of older mining equipment and used one of the rods to seal a crack in an older iron radiator- securely and these thinner brass rods are perfect for very thin metal joining and welding. Now I have a good supply of brass rods when needed for a quick repair such as putting on a new muffler- that was my second use of these rods. They melt easily with flux and an oxy/acetyl. torch on a lower setting so you do not blow a hole into thin metal- like a muffler or tail pipe. Good commercial grade brazing rods at a good price! Great find!

These brass brazing rods are a great bang for your buck, offering a good-sized pack at a reasonable price. They seem to work well enough, producing solid joints when used properly. Just don’t forget your flux, as it’s essential for getting good results.I haven’t tested them on aluminum, so I can’t speak to compatibility there, but for general brazing, they do the job. For the price, this is a solid pack that should last a while, making it a practical addition to any welding or brazing setup.

I got these brass brazing rods for my husband, and he has been very pleased with them. They are well-made and consistent in size, which makes his work much easier. At 10 inches long with a 0.08-inch diameter, they are a good size for a variety of small projects, and he appreciates the smooth, even flow they provide during brazing.He has used them mainly for DIY repairs and small metalworking projects, and they work well with aluminum and zinc-based metals. They melt smoothly and bond nicely without excessive splattering or uneven flow. The copper, zinc, tin, and silicon alloy creates a strong and durable joint, which is exactly what he needs for long-lasting repairs.These rods heat up quickly with a gas torch, and he finds them easy to work with, even for delicate pieces. They create clean joints without a lot of excess material buildup. He also likes that they don’t require flux in some applications, making the process simpler.My husband is happy with these brazing rods. They are a great value for the quantity and quality, and he’s glad to have them on hand for future repairs and metalwork.

Not sure of the exact mix percentage of copper zinc tin mix but the combo will usually make a strong corrosion resistant bond. Silicon lowers the melting point.Info above is from Ad not on actual product. Improved formula and rod diameter is about it on product tube container.These rods will need a flux to ensure good puddle flow into joining pieces.Borax-Boric Acid Flux is recommended to ensure a good clean braze..Rod Melting point should be around 1700F.Propane can roughly get to 3600F and Oxy Acetelyne 5700F....All in all these rods will work great for various metals leaving a clean smooth seam.

I last brazed 30 years ago, and recently have the need to braze again. One braze to swap out a damaged HVAC line set, and one for securing a gear to a shaft for a personal 'robotics' experiment. Essentially, this means practice - and practice again. I have a relatively nice triple head/flame torch, some swagging equipment, and a bunch of copper tubing scraps. It took a bit to regain the 'feel' but I assign that to me and not the rods. A bit more practice should elevate from 'good enough' to at least slightly better than that.This is unfluxed, so make sure to pick up flux if needed for your application to avoid a last minute trip to the store.

These rods seem to be promoted for HVAC purposes, which may be common practice now, I do not know. I was brought up using "silver solder" for brazing copper piping, but I tried these and they work great on copper.Most of the brazing I did was always old school auto body applications, and we always used rod like this but it was flux coated for convenience. The option was to use bare rod like this and have a small container of flux handy, with a small hole poked in the lid, the rod was then periodically inserted in the hole to pick up the flux for a few inches of length.The long rods were always a bit awkward, so we usually snipped then down anyway, same for silver solder as far as length as it usually comes in short sticks like this.I never knew about using such rod on aluminum, so want to give that a try.Simply, a good price for this much brass.
