HOT-WELD - Aluminum welding rod

HOT-WELD: The easy welding of Aluminum.

What can I fix with chopsticks?

Made of quality aluminum alloy, you can braze and repair almost all white metals and all other non-ferrous materials except stainless steel.

• aluminum
• Aluminum alloys: 1060,1350,3003,3004,3005,5005,5050,6053,6061,6951,7000
• Cast aluminum alloys: 710.0 and 711.0
• The copper
• Zinc based metals

It is also possible to braze dissimilar metals together, such as copper with aluminum or aluminum with galvanized metal.

How to properly prepare the part to be welded

The aluminum must be cleaned until the metal is exposed, removing rust (alumina) and all impurities (surface dirt, paint or coatings) the surface of the metal must be clean.
Important : you must use a stainless steel brush, any other material will contaminate your aluminum and prevent adhesion).
It is this cleaning that guarantees an optimal welding result.
Make your solder within 10 minutes of brushing , otherwise the alumina will re-deposit.

The procedure is simple:

1. Start by cleaning your part and eliminate the alumina (or oxide layer) which could prevent good fusion. To do this, use sandpaper or a metal brush. Using a drill can also help save time.
   
   
2. Heat your support to a maximum of 400°C using a propane blowtorch, of a power suitable for the part to be repaired.
   
   
3. Use a baguette to weld quality aluminum for a neat and durable result. The rod should be positioned at an angle of approximately 90 degrees at the level of the solder.
   
   
4. Vigorously rub the solder into the repair area until room temperature melts the rod.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

1. The aluminum + copper core and the coating which gradually disappears as it liquefies but which plays an essential role in ignition by electrical conduction and the protection of the weld pool.
2. The weld made at low temperature with this type of rod is very resistant over time.
3. From 380°C, the copper aluminum that constitutes it melts and fuses immediately with the metal .
4. With this process, there is no risk of distortion of the base material. The welded brackets do not deform, and the wear and corrosion resistance is very high.
