The Broco Slice Exothermic Cutting Rods (3/8" x 18") represent the pinnacle of thermal cutting technology for industrial maintenance and emergency applications. Designed to work with the Broco Slice Torch system, these rods utilize an exothermic reaction to generate temperatures hot enough to cut, burn, or melt through virtually any known material. Whether you are dealing with mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, or even non-ferrous materials like concrete, slag, and refractory brick, these rods deliver unmatched performance.
One of the standout engineering features of this specific rod (SKU: BRO3818PC-10) is the patented recessed end. Unlike standard burning bars, the internal fuel wires are recessed at the torch end. This critical design element prevents the rod from burning back into the torch head, thereby protecting the washer and collet from heat damage and extending the service life of your equipment. The internal wires are secured with circular crimps, ensuring they remain in place even during rough handling or when the rod is bent.
Flexibility is another key benefit. Operators can bend these rods to access difficult angles or reach behind obstructions without compromising safety or performance. The specialized construction ensures that oxygen flow is not restricted even when the rod is curved, maintaining a consistent burn rate. This 10lb box provides a substantial supply for intensive jobs, making it an essential inventory item for maintenance departments, scrap yards, and rescue teams requiring reliable, heavy-duty cutting solutions.
