Nickel Silver Rod

Features and Benefits: Blue Demon Nickel Silver also known as Nickel Bronze, (RBCuZn-D) is a brazing rod used widely as a replacement for high cost silver brazing alloys when higher brazing temperatures are acceptable. The weld deposits have a very high tensile strength, good ductility and excellent corrosion resistance. Nickel Silver weld deposits are also readily machinable and will not work harden when put into service. A neutral or slightly oxidizing flame is recommended. Braze with a #WF303 all purpose brazing flux powder such as WELDbraze Flux All Purpose Brazing Flux Powder. Applications: Brazing tungsten carbides, copper alloys, nickel alloys, stainless and carbon steels. Brazing steel or cast iron where good color match is desired. Building up and/or overlaying worn parts such as gear teeth, bearings, and valve seats.
