98100 - 45% Silver Flux-Coated Brazing Rod 1.6mm - 1/4 lb Tube

High-Performance 45% Silver Brazing Alloy

The Lucas-Milhaupt 98100 is a premium quality, flux-coated silver brazing rod designed for professional maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications. Featuring a 45% silver content, this alloy provides an exceptional combination of low melting temperature, high ductility, and superior strength. The 1.6mm (1/16 inch) diameter is ideal for general-purpose brazing, allowing for precise control over filler metal deposition in tight clearances and capillary spaces. Packaged in a durable 1/4 lb tube, these rods are protected from moisture and physical damage, making them a perfect addition to any service technician's toolkit.

Integrated Flux Coating

One of the standout features of this product is its high-performance blue flux coating. This integrated flux system eliminates the need for a separate flux container and brush, significantly speeding up the brazing workflow. The coating is formulated to become active at the precise temperature required to protect the base metal from oxidation and promote the smooth flow of the molten alloy. It offers excellent wetting action on a variety of substrates, ensuring sound, leak-proof joints with minimal post-braze cleaning required. The flux is flexible and durable, resisting chipping during handling.

Versatile Material Compatibility

This cadmium-free alloy is engineered to join a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is particularly effective for joining copper, brass, bronze, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Its versatility makes it a go-to solution for HVAC/R installations, plumbing repairs, and general industrial maintenance where dissimilar metals must be joined reliably. The 45% silver composition ensures that joints remain strong even under vibration and thermal cycling, providing peace of mind for critical applications.
