Product Overview
This 1.6mm TIG Filler Wire (RBCuZn-A – Tobin Bronze) is a premium copper-zinc brazing alloy rod engineered for high-strength, low-fuming braze welding applications. Also known as low-fuming bronze filler rod, this wire is specifically formulated with silicon and manganese additions to significantly reduce zinc fume emission during welding, making it a safer and more efficient choice for TIG brazing, oxy-acetylene brazing, and braze-welding of dissimilar and similar metals.
Manufactured to meet AWS A5.7 / ASME SFA-5.7 classification standards, this filler wire delivers consistent arc performance, excellent wetting action, and strong, ductile joints across a wide range of base metals.
