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