Eagle 1880 FC Low-Fuming Brazing Rod | High-Strength Flux-Coated Alloy

Eagle 1880 FC is recommended for:

Carbon steel
Cast iron
Bronze
Brass
Gear teeth
Bearings
Shafts
Pistons
Valve seats
Build-up of worn components
Overlay applications
Maintenance and industrial repair

Designed for applications where strength, build-up capability and dependable brazing performance are important.

Use a neutral flame.

Clean rust, dirt and grease thoroughly from the parent metal.
Preheat the general area and then heat the joint area until the metal reaches a dull red colour.

Melt a drop of alloy from the end of the rod and allow it to flow into the joint while keeping the torch in constant motion.
Multiple passes can be applied without removing the flux between passes.

Eagle 1880 FC is a low-fuming, flux-coated, high-strength brazing alloy designed for repair, build-up and overlay applications.

Its combination of strength, ductility and relatively soft hardness makes it useful for restoring worn components that may need additional finishing or machining after repair.

Why Eagle 1880 FC?

Low-fuming operation — designed to reduce fumes compared with conventional brazing alloys.

High-strength deposit — approximately 63,000–65,000 psi tensile strength.

Good ductility — approximately 25% elongation.

Soft, workable deposit — approximately 96 BH hardness.

Excellent build-up capability — ideal for gear teeth, bearings, shafts, pistons and valve seats.

1880 FC or 1850 FC?

Choose Eagle 1880 FC when you want a low-fuming high-strength brazing alloy for repair, build-up and overlay work.
Choose Eagle 1850 FC when you want a nickel-silver build-up alloy with stronger emphasis on machinability, friction resistance and work-hardening.

In simple terms:
1880 FC = low-fuming repair and build-up brazing alloy
1850 FC = machinable nickel-silver build-up alloy
