Forney's 1/8 in. x 18 in. Bronze Brazing/Welding Rods deliver dependable, high‑strength joints for bronze and copper alloy projects. This boxed set includes 10 rods totaling 1 lb, providing ample material for multiple repairs or fabrication tasks without constant restocking. Designed for both brazing and welding workflows, these bronze rods are a versatile choice for pro shops and serious DIYers tackling bronze and copper assemblies.

Ideal Uses and Scenarios
Take these bronze rods from the box to repair or fabricate bronze and copper alloy components with confidence. They’re well-suited for bronzes and copper fittings, decorative metalwork, and small-to-medium brazing or welding tasks where strong, corrosion-resistant joints are essential. The 18-inch length provides plenty of reach for overhead and vertical work, while the 1/8-inch diameter is ideal for precision control on thinner sections and intricate joints.
Why This Set Stands Out
-
Strong, reliable joints: With a tensile strength of 65,000 psi, these rods form robust bonds that stand up to typical service loads in bronze and copper assemblies.
-
AC/DC compatibility: Flexible power options mean you can pair these rods with a wide range of torch and power supplies—great for varying shop setups.
-
Medium to shallow penetration: Optimized for controlled bead formation on thinner sections and delicate joints, reducing the risk of burn-through.
-
Ready-to-use package: 10 rods in a boxed 1 lb package give you immediate, organized supplies for ongoing projects without frequent repurchases.
Practical Tips for Best Results
For dependable brazing and welding performance, ensure joints are clean and properly fitted before work. Use the power source range of 100–140 amps to achieve the recommended balance between penetration and control, especially on bronze and copper alloys. With the working temperature near 1598°F (868°C), keep heat distribution steady to avoid overheating thinner sections and to produce clean, uniform beads. This set is ideal for maintenance repairs, plumbing fittings, and decorative metalwork where bronze is the chosen filler material.
