Description
- Silicon Bronze is a copper alloy Rod containing 3% silicon and used for TIG or Oxyacetylene Welding of copper, brass, bronze, steel and cast iron.
- Silicon Bronze is best known for welding plain or galvanized steel sheet metal in the manufacturing of steel cabinets, metal furniture and ductwork.
- Weld deposits demonstrate high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and good weldability, making this wire suitable for surfacing parts in corrosive environments – Tensile Strength: 51,000 psi Diameter: 0.035″ (1.2mm) – Length: 36″ ERCusi-A Silicon Bronze Welding Rod ANSI/AWS A5.7 Class ERCusi-A ASME -5.7 Class ERCusi-A Description and Application Silicon Bronze is a copper alloy wire containing 3% silicon and used for GMAW, GTAW or Oxyacetylene Welding of copper, brass, bronze, steel and cast iron.
- Silicon Bronze is best known for welding plain or galvanized steel sheet metal in the manufacturing of steel cabinets, metal furniture and ductwork.
- Weld deposits demonstrate high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and good weldability, making this wire suitable for surfacing parts in corrosive environments.
- Approximate Melting Temperature: 1866F (1019C) Average As-Welded Brinell Hardness: 80 100 Brinell Tensile Strength: 51,000 psi Density: 0.308 lbs/in3 Oxyacetylene Welding: The oxyacetylene gas flame should be slightly oxidizing (neutral) to keep the weld puddle Small in order to allow fast solidification and this will also minimize cracking; use a borax type flux both before and during welding; preheating is not recommended.
