thats cool stuff.

I saw that stuff at a trade show. Cool stuff.

looks like an aluminum brazing rod. and they dont show what the inside of the parts look like on the inside. it would burn in just like tig welding and the inside would need buffed.

I might have to try some, see if it will fix my aluminum radiator that has 2 holes in it..

man my buddy tried to braze the bottom of my 300ex case and he blew a hole through it. he v-grooved the crack and he thinks the oil that has penetrated teh metal made it do that.

i wouldn't say that was the only factor. oil would contaminate it; however, aluminum doesnt really like to show signs of melting until it just droups down and melts a hole through.

wow that is cool. if i can find the place that sells it i'm going to order some. neat stuff!

[One_Bad_400]

i'm thinking about hitting the order button just to try it out. can get it for $17.44 for 7.5 feet of it. i've got a 450r case i need to repair and would only need a few inches to fix the problem.

Do you guys think i could use this to fix my cracked up pro armor nerfs?

it might not work on motors because it said the melting point of that stuff is 500 degrees lower than aluminum.

It does say that is has a melting point of 500* lower than aluminum, but aluminum melts at about 650*C or 1200*F not 100% sure on the numbers been ahwile since i was in college. So im going to say that it would be safe, cause i dont think our motors get up to 800*F. i would use it on the cases and outer motor parts but not the exhaust pipe.

660*C and 1220*F

I've used a similar type of aluminum repair rod many times over the years.
stuff works great. machineable, grindable, threadable.
yes it works well for engine case repairs too.
takes a bit of practice to obtain temperature control but is easily learned.
