Brazing vs. Welding

Silicone bronze rods are often used for brazing rather than traditional welding. Brazing involves melting the filler metal (silicone bronze) to join the base metals (such as copper) without melting the base metals themselves.

Low Heat Input

The process requires less heat than welding, which helps in reducing distortion and preserving the properties of the base metals.

Versatility

Silicone bronze is quite versatile and can be used to join copper to other metals like brass, steel, and even stainless steel, making it a popular choice for artistic and architectural applications.

Corrosion Resistance

The bronze alloy provides good corrosion resistance, which is beneficial for applications exposed to the elements.

Aesthetic Finish

It offers an appealing appearance, often used in applications where the visual aspect of the joint is important.
