We use similar rods in hvac to braze aluminum coils and we test to 500 psi and the systems run at 350 to 400 psi in the condenser coil and hold gas! Works great the only issue is the flame of the torch tends to pull the oil film inside the coil to the leak so your prep is super important!

the trick is do not use iron based wire brushes . This welding rod composition is mainly zinc . zinc and aluminum are in the same covalence ring . they love each other . Use stainless steel or solid brass brush to clean the surface thoroughly . Also ONLY aluminum oxide sandpaper .

G'day Mate. I'm a second generation refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic with over 50 years personal experience. I first saw this rod only about 10 years ago and was so curious that I bought some. I paid $75 US for a Kg. I have successfully used it in repairing aluminium condenser pipes on car A/c systems and also the evaporators. It's a product that works....and is compatible with refrigerants.

These rods need the base metal to be cleaned with a stainless wire brush and a stainless wire pin/scraper to scratch through the molten solder pool helps to deal with the natural oxide layer. By the way, brazing is just a high temperature soldering. This aluminium system is medium temperature.

@oliver90owner Жыл бұрын

‘Hit the nail on the head’ with your post. A scratch, along the metal pool will definitely solve his obvious problem of poor contact (the pot leakage, for instance) by giving the metal a chance to then wet the metal along the length of the joint. This is amply/clearly explained by any good info on this type of brazing. Simply put, welding is melting together both the filler and base structure. Soldering/brazing (same but different temperatures) is where only the filler is melted, thus relying on only contact, not mixing together liquid metals. In days of old, I expect soldering was with a soldering iron of some description, whereas brazing was definitely using a flame to heat the item (and filler as it is applied). Since those days, silver soldering (should it have been called ‘brazing’?) was penned as the ‘hard’ solder as opposed to the lower temperature lead/tin ‘soft’ solder.

@luciferhellhound Жыл бұрын

I always treat brazing welding or soldering with this rule. Clean your surfaces and make sure your filler either rod, wire, or feed is clean too. Also find that applying a thin layer of Flux along the surface of the joint prior to heating helps localize and prevent the oxidation of the surface preventing that solid seam but everyone has their slight differences in way of life

Don't think so. 9:01 - 02 he does direct the gas at the solder at the start, however the rest of the shot he's quite a ways away or pointing it further down the weld. It didn't hold most likely because it was galvanized and I don't think it actually got the metal hot enough as witnessed by it melting like cheese vs flowing. I think the manf. was honest that it WOULD allow you to solder galvanized, however nowhere did it say it would be as good as removing the galv beforehand...

39,000 psi tensile strength probably refers to material in the solder/braze deposit, not the solder/braze joint itself. Given the area of the joint, it could still be quite strong. Someone else mentioned carefully cleaning the end of the tube, that is very important for a water or air proof joint. That is particularly important when both sides of the joint are not solder/brazed.

It is CHEMESTRY. The rod is a composite that whn heated to melt temp, the "reaction" with soft metal increases temp near two fold (approx.1200 f) The "trick" is to ensure ajoining surfaces are heated equally AND technician breaks the "oxide layering" by using a thin stainless steel wire to penetrate and drag through the molten "formula" (using rod itself does not sufficiently break oxide layer, and tube leaked, plate" delaminated"). This step is imperative. Also - only use stainless steel brushes.

I know a lot of people think temperature is the key defining factor if something is brazing or soldering and while it's a part of it. It's only one piece of the puzzle. The real difference is the strength of the capillary action at work. Brazing rod material allows a capillary action to flow into significantly tighter spaces allowing for tighter fits of parts. What determines this is the material the rod is made of and thus the temperature it melts. To sum it up technically, temperature has nothing to do with brazing or soldering but rather a byproduct of the defining factor. I also wouldn't recommend thus for rim repair. Rims are selectively cooled to allow the hardness of the alloy to be harder in some spots and softer in others. You might aneal a spot that was meant to be hardened or harden a spot that was meant to be softer. Please, just buy a new rim if someone out there is considering using this to repair a rim.

Have you soldered copper pipe for plumbing. This looks identical. Flux helps. clean and rough both parts, dab a little flux on, connect the parts, then apply the solder (called "sweating").

I have a 1232 riveted jon boat that leaks. All the rivets are still present, they just flop around and leak. I have grinded the area around them down to bare metal. Would you recommend trying to weld them myself in this manor or take them to a welder? I dont need them to be pretty, I just need them to be sealed up. You make it look easy! I am pretty handy and plan to grind them back down smooth, sand and paint. In short, can a first time newbie do this and seal up rivets without burning a hole in the boat? Thanks!

It might work the downsides to the stuff is it does not work very well upside down. Or if there's a large mass of material, it might be hard to get the whole of the boat hot enough to make this work
