Frequently asked questions

Which bronze or copper TIG filler rod do I need?

The correct filler rod depends on the parent material, the application and the properties required from the finished weld, including strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

What is the difference between silicon bronze and aluminium bronze TIG filler rods?

Silicon bronze is commonly used for joining copper alloys and welding coated steels with minimal distortion, while aluminium bronze provides significantly higher strength, excellent wear resistance and outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments.

Why would I choose aluminium bronze instead of silicon bronze?

Choose aluminium bronze when higher mechanical strength, improved wear resistance or superior corrosion resistance is required.

When should I use a copper nickel TIG filler rod?

Copper nickel filler rods are typically selected for marine, offshore and desalination applications where exceptional seawater corrosion resistance is required.

Can I TIG weld bronze?

Yes. TIG welding is widely used for bronze components where precise control, excellent appearance and high-quality welds are required.

Can I weld copper using TIG?

Yes. Copper can be TIG welded successfully using the correct filler rod, suitable heat input and appropriate welding technique.

Why is my copper TIG weld lacking fusion?

Copper conducts heat extremely efficiently, so insufficient welding current, poor joint preparation or inadequate preheating can all contribute to lack of fusion.

What industries use bronze and copper TIG filler rods?

Bronze and copper filler rods are widely used in marine engineering, shipbuilding, repair and maintenance, foundries, electrical applications, architectural metalwork and precision engineering.

How should bronze and copper TIG filler rods be stored?

Store filler rods in a clean, dry environment and protect them from moisture, dirt, oil and other contaminants to maintain welding quality.

What questions should I ask before choosing a bronze or copper TIG filler rod?

Before selecting a filler rod, identify: What is the parent material? Is corrosion resistance important? Will the component operate in a marine environment? Is wear resistance or strength the priority? Am I joining similar or dissimilar materials? Answering these questions will help you select the most suitable bronze or copper TIG filler rod for the application.
