Brazing is a metal joining process that operates between 450°C and 900°C. Choosing the right brazing rod is critical for joint strength and quality. This guide explains when to use copper vs brass brazing rods.
What is Brazing?
Brazing is a metal joining process in which a filler metal (brazing rod) is melted and drawn into the gap between two base metals. The brazing rod melts but the base metals do not.
Copper Brazing Rods
Used for joining copper-to-copper connections, particularly in refrigeration and HVAC systems. They offer excellent joint strength and conductivity.
- Melting range: 875°C – 895°C
- Best for: Copper tube joints, refrigeration
Brass Brazing Rods
Versatile rods used for joining steel, cast iron and copper. Ideal when you need to join dissimilar metals.
- Melting range: 870°C – 920°C
- Best for: Steel fabrication, cast iron repair
