The higher the silver content, the more easily the alloy flows into the joint. The \u003cstrong\u003e45%\u003c\/strong\u003e rod is used mainly on assemblies where brass or another metal is part of the joint; it is then used with a \u003cstrong\u003ebrazing flux\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5% silver, 3\/32 in or 1\/8 in, 1 lb pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15% silver, 3\/32 in or 1\/8 in, 1 lb pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45% silver, 1\/16 in, 1 oz pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thin rod suits small tubing and delicate joints; the 1\/8 in rod puts down more metal on large diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlux or no flux?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, copper-to-copper is brazed without flux using copper-phosphorus alloys, while brass and dissimilar metals require flux. The label on the pack states which metals the rod is for and whether flux is required: the label is what counts.
