OVERVIEW

High-Performance 1.6mm Silver Solder for Professional Brazing

For professionals in the HVAC, plumbing, and metal fabrication industries, the quality of your filler metal dictates the longevity and safety of your joints. Our 1.6mm Silver Solder Brazing Rods are engineered to provide superior wetting and capillary action, ensuring that the alloy penetrates deep into tight clearances. This 5kg bulk pack is designed for contractors and workshops that demand consistency and value, reducing the need for frequent reordering while maintaining a high standard of work.

Versatile Applications

Silver solder is renowned for its versatility and strength. These 1.6mm rods are perfectly sized for a variety of tasks, from joining small diameter refrigeration tubing to general plumbing repairs. The diameter offers a balance between precision control for delicate work and sufficient deposition rates for slightly larger joints. Whether you are joining copper to copper, copper to brass, or working with stainless steel components, these rods provide the ductility and tensile strength required to withstand thermal expansion and vibration common in mechanical systems.

Optimized for Strong, Leak-Proof Joints

Creating a hermetically sealed joint is critical in pressurized systems. The composition of these brazing rods promotes smooth flow at brazing temperatures, minimizing the risk of voids or pinholes. When used with the appropriate flux, the alloy bonds aggressively to the base metal, creating a metallurgical bond that often exceeds the strength of the base materials themselves. This reliability makes them an essential consumable for any serious tradesperson dealing with gas or liquid lines.

Economic Bulk Packaging

Supplied in a durable 5kg package, this product is tailored for high-volume users. The rods are protected to prevent oxidation and contamination during storage. By purchasing in bulk, businesses can lower their cost per joint, improving overall project profitability without sacrificing the quality of the finished weld.

FAQ

Yes, in most cases, a separate flux is required to remove oxides and allow the solder to flow properly, especially when joining dissimilar metals or dirty surfaces.

These rods have a diameter of 1.6mm, which is approximately 1/16 of an inch.

Yes, silver solder is excellent for joining dissimilar metals, including copper to steel, brass to stainless steel, and more.

The pack is sold by weight (5kg). The exact count depends on the specific density and length of the alloy, but a 5kg pack contains a substantial quantity suitable for bulk use.

An oxy-acetylene torch is commonly used for silver brazing to achieve the necessary high temperatures quickly, though MAPP gas or air-acetylene can work for smaller, thinner assemblies.

You must check the specific alloy composition for cadmium and lead content. Standard silver solders are often cadmium-free, but always verify the safety data sheet (SDS) for potable water compliance.

The 1.6mm size is thin enough for precise control on small joints but carries enough material to fill slightly larger gaps efficiently without excessive heating.

The joint area must be thoroughly cleaned of oil, grease, rust, and paint. The parts should be fitted with a proper clearance (usually 0.001-0.005") to allow capillary action.
