Of course, there are hundreds of different rod types designed for sticking two pieces of steel together. And, one can usually get hold of hard surfacing rods. But there are also some lesser known rod types that can be particularly helpful to those of us doing repair, restoration, and/or fabrication work out doors. For example: You can braze without the need for an oxyacetylene torch, hoses, regulators, or gas bottles. Weld stainless steel or aluminum without the need for MIG and/or TIG equipment. Weld dissimilar materials -- ferrous to nonferrous, special alloys to mild steel, etc. Repair iron and aluminum castings. You can even cut and bevel steel without the need for an oxyacetylene rig or a very expensive and very cumbersome air-arc cutting rig! Sadly, these specialty rods are not always available from local welding supply resources -- sometimes not even from large distributors. Therefore as a service to our customers, we have attempted to list and describe the specialty rods which we find most useful here -- along with suggestions as to uses of these items in the field. Those of you who are lucky enough to find these rods in your area, will find the descriptions helpful. For those of you who cannot easily find the rods that we describe locally, for your convenience, we stock and sell these items in both our Online Store and in our parts department. NOTE: Please do not confuse these high quality specialty rods with surplus industrial rods that you will see from time to time on the internet. These industrial rods may require very special handling for proper/acceptable results -- often impossible except in indoor/factory operating conditions. For example, other stainless rods that we have seen for sale (in places like www.eBay.com) may require complicated preheating and curing processes and may even require the use of special temperature control mechanisms and even shielding gas for proper results. The welding rods that we recommend and sell work in the field -- we test them ourselves -- and, we guarantee your satisfaction!   Special Purpose Welding Rod Information Matrix/Index Arc Brazing Rods   Cutting Rods   Stainless Steel Rods Aluminum Rods   99% Nickel Rods   Cast Iron Rods   For more information, check our Welding Supplies Specifications and/or our Online Store, Welding Supplies Section for current pricing/ordering or call our order desk (toll free) at 877- ZENA INC (weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST).
