Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

MIG brazing has benefits over welding and its OK Autorods shield the operator from gas.

MIG BRAZING OFFERS a number of operational advantages over welding,such as improved gap tilling, elimination of joint-line corrosion and easier smoothing of the finished joint.

However. MIG welding of galvanised steel generates zinc oxide fumes which can cause a flu-like condition known as metal fume fever,so precautions need to be taken.

The OK Autorod 19.30 C9 grade wire from ESAB can be used with a conventional MIG machine of 160-200A capacity. using a 95% argon/5% helium mix as the shielding gas. ESAB Autorods are available with wire diameters of 0.8min, 1.0mm and 1.2mm. Contact 0800 3893152
