Aluminum Brazing Rod

Aluminum brazing rod is a filler material specifically used for aluminum and copper–aluminum joints. Unlike welding wire, an aluminum brazing rod enables joining at lower temperatures, helping avoid base-metal overheating or distortion. Chalco supplies multiple types of aluminum brazing rods—including low-temperature rods, flux-coated rods, fluxless rods, and high-strength rods—widely used in HVAC refrigeration systems, automotive radiators, and aluminum part repair, providing a reliable brazing solution.

Low-temperature operation: Low temperature aluminum brazing rods are suitable for thin-wall parts and repair applications, reducing deformation risk.

Clean and strong joints: Good wetting for smooth, high-strength joints.

Multiple options: Flux-coated, fluxless, and high-strength models to fit different conditions.

Wide applicability: Supports HVAC, automotive components, Cu–Al tubing, and routine repairs.

Easy to use: Quick to learn, suitable for professionals and DIY users.

Chalco Aluminum Brazing Rod – Product Types

Low Temperature Al Brazing Rods

Working range: 380–420 ℃ (716–788 ℉)

Use cases: thin-wall and heat-sensitive parts; window frames, doors, gutters, HVAC lines

Features: low heat input, easy to operate

Flux-Coated Aluminum Brazing Rods

Flux: external coating; no additional flux required

Use cases: HVAC repair, aluminum doors/windows, furniture repair

Features: removes oxide film; clean, strong joints

Fluxless Aluminum Brazing Rods

Alloys: Al–Si (4045/4047/4343), solid rods; external flux required

Processes: vacuum brazing and atmosphere-furnace brazing (industrial mass production)

Notes: manual torch/induction usually still needs flux; widely used with VAC/CAB and clad materials

Flux Core Aluminum Brazing Rods

Structure: aluminum-alloy sheath with internal flux

Use cases: batch HVAC and automotive brazing

Features: flux releases during heating for stable operation; suitable for automated processes

High Strength Aluminum Brazing Rods

Alloys: Al–Si (e.g., 4047)

Use cases: automotive radiators, oil coolers, trailer bodies

Features: high joint strength, good crack resistance

Beyond aluminum brazing rods, Chalco also supplies the following brazing materials for broader metal-joining needs:

• Copper Brazing Rods: For copper and copper-alloy joining in air-conditioning, refrigeration, and electrical industries; high joint strength and good conductivity.
• Silver Brazing Rods: Silver-based, with low melting points and excellent wetting; widely used in precision instruments, refrigeration equipment, and high-end manufacturing.

Chalco Aluminum Brazing Rods – Industry Selection Guide

Chalco aluminum brazing rods cover multiple alloy systems and process options, fitting HVAC, automotive, construction, and industrial maintenance. Based on use scenarios and conditions, refer to the following guidance:

HVAC and Refrigeration Systems

Recommend Zn–Al series brazing rods or low temperature aluminum brazing rods for evaporators, condensers, and copper-to-aluminum joints, to avoid overheating the base metal and maintain heat-exchange efficiency. Apply post-braze protective coatings and beware of galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.

Automotive and Transportation

Recommend Al–Si brazing rods (4045/4047/4343) for radiators, oil coolers, and A/C line repair; the aftermarket often uses aluminum solder rods for convenient repair and longer service life.

Construction and Home Improvement

Recommend flux-coated aluminum brazing rods for door/window frames, gutters, and wall panels; no additional flux is required during brazing.

Industrial Equipment and Molds

Recommend Mg-based brazing rods or low temperature aluminum brazing rods for crack repair, build-up, and remanufacturing with cost efficiency.

Furniture, Marine, and Daily Goods

Recommend Al–Si brazing rods (4047/4045) for aluminum-to-aluminum joints; for copper–aluminum joints use Zn–Al series with proper corrosion isolation. Joints are neat in appearance and durable.

Note: Brazing is not recommended for high-strength aluminum alloys such as 2011, 2014, 2017, 2024, and 7075 to avoid post-braze strength loss or cracking. These high Cu/Zn or high-strength series are sensitive to joint softening/cracking and are not suitable for routine brazed repair.
