Albion Alloys Brass Rod 1.0mm # 10

Product Information

Using brazing rods for joining together two pieces of metal produces an extremely strong joint that can repel gases and liquids, withstand temperature changes, impact and vibration. Joints from this form of metal joinery have a clean and professional finish and allow for good control and flexibility over the materials used. It has a high melting point of around 900°C, but the precise melting point is affected by the concentration of the multiple metals in the alloy. Butt-lap joint - a combination of the two main brazing joints, this joint is self-supporting and benefits from the best of both the butt and lap joints

The difference is technique. Welding melts the base metal and fuses the joints together, while brazing melts the filler metal (provided by the brazing rod) to fill the joint between the two pieces via capillary action to join them together. The distinctive properties of brass mean it can be used in multiple ways, especially concerning the mechanical and decorative industries. For instance, brass is often applied in the following ways: Flux - a chemical cleaning and purifying agent used to prevent the oxidising of brazed joints. Available as flux paste, flux powder, or as a treatment on brazing rodsControlled atmosphere - an inert atmosphere for brazing, often achieved using an atmospheric bell jar or vacuum furnace filled with a gas like Argon, nitrogen or hydrogen to improve the quality of joints brazed and prevent issues of scaling and oxidisation. There are quite a few names and terms banded about when it comes to brazing. We want to make it easy for you, so we've described some of the most commonly used to help you find just what you're looking for. Graded CZ121, all brass round bar from The Metal Store has 3% lead content, offering both lubrication and chip-breaking qualities. With a 100% machinability rating, our brass rod is ideal for riveting and turning as well as a range of other uses.

MAPP® gas - Methyl Acetylene Propadiene Propane is a liquid gas that is safer to use than acetyleneListed above are just some of the most popular applications for brass; the metal is by no means limited to these alone. A Customised Service Brazing rods are identified according to the alloy they're made from. Each has its own melting range and advantages in use. High vacuum/high pressure - achieved using a fully sealed chamber, brazing in this atmosphere provides the highest quality results and is mostly used for medical and aerospace components. Yes. It is actually one of the most malleable metals that can be used in the welding process. It can be welded to other metals to produce a strong and sturdy joint.

Used as the filler metal for brazing two or more metal pieces together, brazing rods are heated until molten and drawn into pre-set joints to form a strong metallurgical bond during cooling. Brass rods have many properties that are characteristic of copper because they are copper alloys. That said, brass also exhibits its own properties that are separate from pure copper and other copper alloys. These include the following: Material - brazing rods should be chosen to suit the material to be brazed. For example, aluminium brazing rods can only be used to braze aluminium workpieces.Hexagonal Brass Bars are most widely used to produce fasteners, nuts and bolts. We hold hexagonal brass bars in grade CW614N, suitable for use across a wide range of industries. At Cromwell.co.uk you'll find high-quality and cost-effective brazing rods from the likes of GoGas International® and Sif® No two projects are the same. As leading brass round bar suppliers, we let you select the size you need on your terms. That starts with a choice of metric and imperial diameters, so you’ll always get the exact size you need. Put away the calculator and forget about small inaccuracies, as you choose from several sizes between 10mm and 25mm or 1/8” and 3/4”.
