Where can I buy carbide brazing rods?

Where can I buy carbide brazing rods?

Where can I buy carbide brazing rods?

(OP)

Are there any online shops where I can buy rods or wires with a mixture of braze alloy, flux and carbide grit?

I have searched on ebay for items like this, but are unable to find anything there.

Anybody here who can help me??

 

RE: Where can I buy carbide brazing rods?

Sounds like a job for Google.
Union carbide might still sell carbide. Or Murex, Lincoln, Airco, any filler metal supplier.
You can apply carbide in steel weld metal if you don't require braze.

Member tomwalz should be around to provide guidance.

Thanks Metengr:

What you are looking for are generally called hard facing rods.  They are a mixture of carbide and braze alloy.  There is a huge variety and your best solution is to find a local welding shop that really knows what they are doing.

Rankin industries (also called Broco Rankin) is an industry leader and your best contact there is Gary Stevens 503-329-7951.

You can also puddle the braze alloy on yourself and sprinkle grit on it.  Probably your best source for the grit is Tungco.
