Highly effective for dissimilar metal joints, offering excellent bonding on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Suitable for a wide range of metals including cast iron, steel, copper, bronze, nickel, and brass.
Ideal for professional welders requiring a strong, durable, and lasting bond in demanding applications.
Product Specifications:
Tensile Strength: 102,000 PSI
Elongation: 30%
Hardness: 92 Brinell
Bonding Temperature: Requires temperatures above 760°C for optimal penetration.
Flow Quality: Excellent for tight-fit joining and repairs.
Machinability: Can be machined, ground, polished, and painted, despite its hardness.
AWS Specification: A5.7
Fuming Level: Low
Integrated Flux: Built-in flux eliminates the need for a separate flux, simplifying the application process.
Additional Information:
Superior Strength: Outperforms standard cast iron and steel in durability, ensuring long-lasting repairs.
Versatility: Excellent for a wide variety of metals and joints, making it a go-to choice for professionals working with different materials.
High-Heat Tolerance: Requires 760°C or higher for optimal flow, ensuring strong repairs and welds.
Machining and Finishing: Despite its high hardness, HTS-528 is machine-friendly, allowing for smooth finishing, including grinding, polishing, and painting.
Usage Instructions:
Surface Preparation:
Open the pores around the repair area by drilling and grinding a U-shape to remove hairline cracks.
Heating:
Heat the repair area to 760°C using a brazing tip until the metal turns red.
Test the Rod:
Test the rod on the metal outside the main flame area. The flux core will melt before the rod.
Bonding:
Once the rod melts, scratch it around the repair area to allow the flux to mix with the molten rod, creating a strong bond.
Applications:
Ideal for repairing:
Cast iron manifolds, high-stress parts, cracks in engine blocks, and car floor sheet metal.
Perfect for:
Industrial and automotive welding tasks that require high-strength bonds and durability.
