69050245 - All-State 101 FC Cadmium-Free Flux-Coated Silver Brazing Rod 1/16"

Premium Cadmium-Free Silver Brazing Alloy

The ESAB All-State 101 FC is a high-performance, flux-coated silver brazing alloy designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern maintenance and fabrication. Engineered with a focus on safety and efficiency, this rod features a Cadmium-Free (CD FR) formulation, making it an excellent choice for applications where health regulations are strict, such as in the food processing and medical equipment industries. The 1/16-inch diameter provides precise control for delicate assemblies, while the 18-inch length ensures you have ample material for continuous work.

Integrated Flux System

One of the standout features of the 101 FC is its flexible, non-glare flux coating. This integrated flux system simplifies the brazing process by eliminating the need for a separate flux can and brush in many applications. The coating is formulated to activate at the precise temperature required to clean the base metal and promote capillary action, ensuring the silver alloy flows deeply and evenly into the joint. This results in a clean, non-porous bond with minimal post-braze cleaning required. The flux coating is durable and flexible, resisting chipping during handling and storage.

Versatility and Strength

This general-purpose alloy is renowned for its exceptional versatility. It is capable of joining a wide array of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and bronze. It is particularly effective for joining dissimilar metals, a common challenge in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments. The resulting joints exhibit high tensile strength and excellent ductility, allowing them to withstand significant vibration, shock, and thermal expansion without failure. Whether you are repairing a refrigeration line, fabricating a custom stainless steel bracket, or fixing electrical contacts, the All-State 101 FC delivers professional, leak-proof results every time.

Technical Excellence

The alloy's low melting point minimizes the heat input required, which is crucial when working with thin-walled tubing or heat-sensitive components. This reduces the risk of distortion, burn-through, or metallurgical damage to the base material. The 4 oz packaging is perfectly sized for toolboxes and service vans, ensuring that technicians always have high-quality silver solder on hand for emergency repairs. With its superior color match to stainless steel and chrome-plated materials, the 101 FC also ensures that your repairs look as good as they perform.
