How many rods are in one package?

One pound is 4ea rods 1/4" round and approximately 18" long. Thanks. Jere

Is a flux required for these rods? If so, what type(s) should be used?

Yes a flux is required. Peterson #2 is what I have found to be the best but unfortunately it has bin discontinued by the manufacturer. If you can find it get it. Otherwise ask your local welding supply what they would be able to get for you. Jere

These are like the cast iron rod I used back in 1962 to gas weld exhaust manifolds and a starter housing for a Chevy 327 engine I installed into a Dodge Lancer.

Actual Cast Iron filler rod. Very hard to find. Also works with TIG but I would have preferred a smaller Dia rod.

awsome welding rod

the rod preformed exactly as described, and my boss thought I was genius. simply pre-heat the part to be repaired and the rod, then dip the rod in the powdered flux, then continue to oxy-weld just like steel.
