PC-ROD.95S25UN - Broco Slice Exothermic Cutting Rods 3/8" x 18" (25 Pack)

High-Performance Exothermic Cutting Rods

The Broco Slice Exothermic Cutting Rods (3/8" x 18") are engineered for industrial professionals requiring reliable, high-speed cutting capabilities in the most demanding environments. This 25-piece box provides a substantial supply of consumables designed to work seamlessly with Broco Slice torch systems. Unlike standard oxy-fuel cutting which relies on preheating and oxidizing ferrous metals, these exothermic rods utilize a chemical reaction to generate temperatures exceeding 10,000°F, allowing them to cut through mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and even non-ferrous materials like concrete and slag.

Structurally, these rods are manufactured with a patented design featuring internal wires secured by circular crimps. This internal configuration ensures a consistent burn rate and prevents the wires from dislodging during operation. A critical safety feature of this specific SKU is the recessed end at the torch connection point. This recess prevents the rod from burning back into the torch collet, significantly extending the lifespan of the torch head and enhancing operator safety during prolonged use.

One of the standout technical attributes of the Broco Slice rod is its flexibility. Operators can bend the rod up to 90 degrees to access difficult angles or reach behind obstructions without restricting the flow of oxygen or causing the rod to split. This makes them indispensable for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations where accessibility is often limited. The 3/8-inch diameter offers a balance between flexibility and burn time, while the 18-inch length provides sufficient reach for deep piercing and cutting applications.
