It's specially designed to join cast iron, steel, copper, bronze, nickel, and brass. With a tensile strength of 102,000 psi and a bonding temperature of 1400°F, this rod ensures a strong, lasting bond even in high-stress and high-heat applications. Why Choose HTS-528 Brazing Rod? Superior Strength and Durability: One of the standout features of the HTS-528 Brazing Rod is its exceptional strength. With a tensile strength of 102,000 psi, it provides a robust repair that can withstand significant stress and pressure. This makes it ideal for high-heat applications such as repairing cast iron manifolds or cracks in engine blocks. Easy to Use: The HTS-528 Brazing Rod is intended to be user-friendly. The rod contains built-in flux, simplifying the procedure and removing the need for extra flux. This built-in function enables a clean, efficient brazing procedure. For best results, provide approximately.003 inches of clearance. The rod can melt at temperatures above 1400°F, thus an oxygen and gas torch are required to generate the requisite heat. Versatility in Metal Repair: Whether you're working with cast iron, brass, nickel, or copper, the HTS-528 Brazing Rod handles various metals with ease. It's also effective for joining dissimilar metals, making it a versatile choice for many repair tasks. This versatility extends to repairs on bodywork, such as replacing rusty sheet metal in vehicles. How to Use HTS-528 Brazing Rod? Preparation: Start by preparing the metal surface. Grind and drill a U-shape around the area to be repaired. This ensures better adhesion and helps the rod flow into the repair area more effectively. To become acquainted with the procedure, begin with a small slot in cast iron. Heating and Application: Heat the metal to 1400°F using a brazing tip. The metal will begin to glow red at around 600°F, but continue applying heat until you reach the required temperature. The HTS-528 Brazing Rod's flux core will melt before the rod itself, so patience is key. Once the rod starts to melt, scratch it around the repair area to ensure thorough fusion with the base metal. Finishing Up: After applying the rod, the repaired area will remain cherry red for about 20 seconds. Allow it to cool gradually. Once cooled, the repair can be ground, shaped, and painted as desired. For those in need of a reliable and powerful brazing solution, the HTS-528 Brazing Rod offers a perfect blend of strength, ease of use, and versatility. Its ability to connect a variety of metals and resist high-temperature applications makes it a must-have for any professional metalworker. Whether you're tackling intricate repairs or major fixes, the HTS-528 Brazing Rod is your go-to choice for top-quality results.
