Ultrathermic™ Cutting Rods
Burning in excess of 10,000°F at the tip, Broco Underwater Ultrathermic Cutting Rods cut or melt virtually any known material. The rods feature alloy core wires retained by circular crimps, ensuring safety by preventing burnback into the torch. They can be bent 90 degrees or more to access hard-to-reach places without restricting oxygen flow or causing insulation to split or flake off. Available in 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch diameters, with a standard length of 18 inches. For heavier jobs, Broco offers 36-inch Ultrathermic Cutting Rods, allowing more burn time between rod changes.
Ultimate Underwater Cutting
The Broco Underwater Ultrathermic Cutting System is the most widely used and highly recommended underwater cutting tool. The Broco system provides the fastest, most efficient, and cost-effective means of completing underwater jobs involving cutting and piercing. The Ultrathermic cutting rod produces a temperature in excess of 10,000°F—hot enough to quickly melt almost anything including cast iron, stainless steel, brass, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as concrete. Approved for Navy Use (ANU) and featured in the U.S. Navy’s Underwater Welding and Cutting manual, the Broco Underwater Ultrathermic Cutting System is used by navies and commercial customers around the world.
SofTouch
Broco’s proprietary flux enhancing formulation, BroCote™, makes this electrode particularly impervious to water penetration and denigration and ensures consistent certifiable underwater weld quality eliminating costly rework.
Ni-Touch™ Electrodes
Broco’s Ni-Touch™ nickel wet welding electrode was developed to allow underwater wet welding of higher carbon and high tensile steels which would normally require the use of more expensive dry chamber welding. Ni-Touch electrodes produce welds with less porosity, while allowing deeper welding in the overhead position than similar electrodes. They are appropriate for all position groove and fillet welds. Test results exceed the requirements of the American Welding Society (AWS) Specification D3.6–99 for Class B underwater wet welds. Yield strengths typically exceeding 70 ksi and tensile strengths exceeding 80 ksi can be expected from the nickel weld metal in the as-welded condition. Ni-Touch is presently qualified at a water depth of 33 feet. With Ni-Touch™ the nickel electrode mitigates the effect of hydrogen. This results in successful underwater wet welds involving a broad range of high carbon equivalent steels, including HY-80 quenched, and tempered steel used in Naval ships with carbon equivalents exceeding 0.50 percent. Ni-Touch meets the more stringent requirements of the Navy’s Naval Ship Technical Manual NSTM 074.
HVR-4401 Oxygen Regulator
The Broco® Underwater High-Volume Oxygen Regulator is a multi-stage unit delivering the constant flow and high volume required for underwater burning. Broco’s research demonstrates cutting efficiency depends more on oxygen flow than oxygen pressure. Broco’s High-Volume Regulator is offered to meet this basic requirement. Designed and manufactured for ease of operation, maximum efficiency, and years of rugged use, the Broco Underwater High-Volume Oxygen Regulator is Underwriters Laboratories Listed.
EasyTouch
For many repairs, the resultant weld is allowed more leeway in terms of porosity, inclusions, integrity, and appearance. To fill the void between 'to-code' work and economy, Broco applied its experience and knowledge to the design of a quality electrode specifically for the economy market. The result is EasyTouch, a moderately priced electrode yielding excellent results. It is easy to start, easy to run (a controllable puddle with a rippled bead appearance), and easy to clean. EasyTouch is a high-deposition all-position electrode.
