I've read everything written here about TIG brazing, and figured it would be a piece of cake with my TIG and torch puddle brazing experience. I finally got around to trying, and am having great difficulty getting the filler to wet out without overheating it. I am using bare Eutectic 16 (3/32) and Harris Safety-Silv 45 (1/32) on clean
Do NOT use flux with a TIG, it is counter productive. All you need is bare silicon bronze or sil-phos bronze filler rod and
1/2 the amps you wpould use for welding.Treat the joint just like a TIG weld. Keep the tungsten in close and apply the filler just like a steel weld.
Do not try to use the TIG arc like an oxy-acet torch.
Wrong filler rod. What you have there is Low Fuming Bronze made for Gas brazing. Silicon bronze has no zinc in it, Low-Fuming bronze does.
Get Silicon bronze or sil-phos bronze filler.
