Abstract
A wire (10) for use in a brazing or soldering operation has an elongated body (12) of a metallic material. The elongated body (12) has an outer surface (18). A channel (14) is formed along a length of the body. The channel (14) has an opening (A1). A flux solution (22) is deposited within the channel (14) and along the length of the body. The flux solution (22) covers a portion of the outer surface (18). A portion of the flux solution (22) is exposed through the opening (A1) in the channel (14).

1-20. (canceled)
A wire for brazing and soldering comprising:
- an elongated body of a brazing material, the elongated body having a central axis;
- a plurality of channels formed along the elongated body, each channel having an opening that is transverse to the central axis of the elongated body, each channel is only partially filled with a flux solution to a height below an imaginary plane spanning across the channel opening, wherein the imaginary plane is aligned with uppermost points forming the opening.
A wire for brazing and soldering comprising:
- an elongated body of a brazing material, the elongated body having a central axis;
- a plurality of channels formed along the elongated body, each channel having an opening that is transverse to the central axis of the elongated body, each channel is only partially filled with a flux solution to a height below an imaginary plane spanning across the channel opening, wherein the imaginary plane is aligned with uppermost points forming the opening, and wherein each channel of the plurality of channels is spaced from an adjacent channel by a separating portion of the elongated body and wherein each channel extends about 10% to 50% of a height of a separating portion.
