Best "No Welder" Aluminum Welding Rods? Alumiweld vs Bernzomatic vs Hobart

Рет қаралды 2,768,661

3 жыл бұрын

BRANDS TESTED: Hobart, Blue Demon, Bernzomatic, Master-Weld, Saker, Iceyyyy, Simple, and Alumiweld (sold at Harbor Freight). Which low temperature welding or brazing rods are best? Low temperature welding rods are designed to melt at approximately 730F while aluminum melts at approximately 1220F. All welding rods tested for melting point, tensile strength, and other bonding characteristics. The best performing brand is really put to the test when it is used to patch a hole in a cylinder head. Hope you enjoy the video!

They are surprisingly good. You can get a traditional aluminium brazing system but the flux is corrosive and the melting point is close to that of the base metal. The advantage is that it flows into joints like lead solder. Done right, it’s a brilliant system but it needs practice.

I remember going to an auto swap show back in the 1980s where some guy was demonstrating "aluminum welding rods" and everybody was like "yeah, right...psssshhh" But we all stood there and watched. He had an Oxyacetylene torch sure enough, he was able to weld all the bits and pieces of aluminum he had. My buddy purchased the "kit" but it only came with a Propane torch and it cost over $50 (that's in 1980 dollars!) and it didn't work very well...we just could not get the surface hot enough with the propane torch. Never considered MAPP gas though and since we were barely shade tree mechanics, we had no access to anything else. So for us, this thing was a bust! Glad I stumbled across this video though because I do have some aluminum I need to repair and a Harbor Freight a couple of miles down the road!

Then he went off-roading with it, rolled it down a 30ft hill with the ammo cans on the bike...still held up. I'm impressed and so was he.

The first few rods I bought were really bad, I melted the aluminum plate before the rod. Because of your video, I went to Home Depot and grabbed the Bernzomatic and I am enjoying it so much I am now making art brazing it all together.

Infrared thermometers are sensitive to the reflectivity of the surface they are pointed at. They are most accurate with a flat black color and become less accurate with increases in reflectivity. I mention this because you mentioned that the shiny silver weld was cooler than the black cylinder head and that reflectivity might be why you thought it was.

Hello PF ~ I've seen ads for this type of "AL Brazing" rod several times, mostly on KZfaq, so I really appreciate your putting together a very fine test for all of us non-welder types. I spent an entire career in the electrical test, measurement, calibration and repair field, so I've done lots of soldering in my day, which, naturally, lends itself to anything requiring a heat source in one hand and the work material in the other...which, by the way, is exactly why learning to TIG weld has also had a strong appeal to me. Anyway, I clearly understood that your test results have you favoring the Hobart brand rods as your "best in test," but I'm not exactly sure that I caught the rest of your top four. If it's not too much trouble, would you kindly list your top four for me. Thanks again and please keep up the great work...and, yes, I've liked and subscribed to your channel, sir.

Their current prices against their competition suggests they may still be among the very best.

@RickBaconsAdventures 3 жыл бұрын

@Kris Nicholson the alloy used for filler is what makes welding and brazing different. brazing by definition is using a different filler metal that sticks to the base metal without melting it. welding is melting the base metal and using a filler that mixes with the molten base metal, usually a fairly similar material. so what you mean is that you would rather gas weld aluminum than gas braze. The word weld or braze defines the process. You can't braze with filler material that's the same as the base material.

@outspokeninsider752 3 жыл бұрын

@Kris Nicholson Even flux is not enough unless you have a bare finish that is displayed for artistic/preservation/conservation reasons. I would in most cases perfer the zinc/al alloy in the low-temp rods for actual "getting work done". At the point you need flux it's welding not brazing; and while welding is possibly better, It still may require a heat-treatment for full strength (see the bolt failrures form the annealling and/or embrittlement), quality gas welding of aluminum requires skills not commonly seen since the 1940s. At that point you should be using a oxygen-enriched flame for percision anyway, and thats a whole other skill.

I was told by a sales guy to never use a grinder or sandpaper on the aluminum for prep, but to use a new fresh stainless steel brush to prep the part and to do this right before the welding. The faster you do this, the better the result as oxides happen very fast. I have been using these for years on antenna parts for large ham radio antennas and never had a failure due to weld strength.

@ProjectFarm 3 жыл бұрын

@keltonwright7 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you are mostly correct, if you use sandpaper or grinding wheel that has been previously used with steel it will affect the welding process. As small steel particles will get imbedded into the aluminum and cause hard spots because it doesn't melt at that temp. Stainless steel brushes are best for aluminum and old use with aluminum. As far as I know anything can be used with aluminum as long as it is new and never used with steel. That is what I learned at welding school.
