Description and Application

Silicon Bronze is a copper alloy wire containing 3% silicon and used for GMAW, GTAW or Oxyacetylene Welding of copper, brass, bronze, steel and cast iron.

Silicon Bronze is best known for welding plain or galvanized steel sheet metal in the manufacturing of steel cabinets, metal furniture, and ductwork.

Weld deposits demonstrate high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good weldability, making this wire suitable for surfacing parts in corrosive environments.

Oxyacetylene Welding:

The oxyacetylene gas flame should be slightly oxidizing (neutral) to keep the weld puddle small in order to allow fast solidification and this will also minimize cracking; use a borax type flux both before and during welding; preheating is not recommended.

 

5 When TIG welding with Silicon Bronze, best results are obtained by keeping the weld pool small; Preheating is not required; welding can be done in all positions, but the

flat position is preferred

6 Recommended parameters will be affected by changes in position, base metal, equipment and shielding gas.
