Flux Coated Rods

Flux Coated Rods

Brazing Filler Metal in bare rods form when coated with relevant flux forms Flux Coated Rods. The main elements in Flux Coated Rods are:
1) Diameter and length of the bare rod to be coated
2) Outer diameter of the Flux coated rod

Why Flux coated brazing rods are preferred over traditional separate rod and flux application:
1) There is no need to use a separate flux.
2) Flux coated brazing alloy can be used directly on the job without separate application of flux making the operation quick and economical.
3) Compatibility of flux with the brazing alloy as supplied by the same manufacturer.
4) There is uniform flow of flux along with the brazing alloy during the brazing operation.
5) It eliminates the need for final fluxing step. As a result the final cleaning is easier, and fewer contaminants are contained in rinse water.
