Ultrabond Aluminium Brazing Kit - 10 x Brazing Rods + MAPP Gas Blow Torch & S/S Wire Brush

Aluminium Brazing Kit - 10 x Brazing Rods + MAPP Gas Blow Torch & S/S Wire Brush

This kit contains everything that is needed for aluminium brazing with high quality Ultra Bond aluminium brazing rods. 

Included in this kit: 

• 10 x 3.2mm Aluminium Brazing Rods  (Diameter of the rods may vary due to the flux coating process but does not affect performance)
• 1 x TS8000 Style Mapp Torch
• 1 x Stainless Steel 4 Row Wire Brush
• **MAPP GAS BOTTLE NOT INCLUDED**

The stainless wire brush helps to clean the surface of the parent material for ease of brazing, while the mapp torch is the perfect combination of adjustable heat output and portability for aluminium brazing. 

Applications

• Industrial repair and maintenance applications
• Light Aluminium fabrication
• Home repairs and maintenance
• Aluminium extrusions
• Mapp bottle connection of  CGA600
• Torch can also be used with Mapp pro Cylinders
• Equivalent to Durafix brazing rods 

Die Cast

These directions also apply to pot metal, white metal and pewter. The puddling technique is used. Clean the base metal thoroughly and clamp the piece securely. File or grind the area to be repaired, then clean with a stainless or brass brush. Heat the metal and rod together and blend. Use a backing when possible to protect your piece. Since Ultra Bond and the base metal melt at similar temperatures you will be welding, the rod and the base metal at the same time. If you have not worked with die cast before, practise on a scrap piece before you begin.

Galvanised Steel and Zincalum

Follow the cleaning, thinning and welding steps described earlier. You are not welding steel, but rather the coasting. This will not work on rusted metal.

MAG Alloys

Weld similar to aluminium. Heat base metal, tin Ultra Bond and weld. If Ultra Bond foams on base metal the magnesium content is too high and will not weld. Keep heat low. Use neutral burning flame on all mag alloys.
