HOT-WELD: Easy welding of Aluminum.
Used by professionals as well as less experienced welders, HOT-WELD aluminum welding rods allow the repair of motorcycle parts made of aluminum or its derivatives.
Long reserved for professionals, the HOT-WELD welding rod makes aluminum welding accessible to everyone. This fine fusion rod allows good conduction thanks to the metal it contains, it has many qualities.
What can I fix with chopsticks?
Made of quality aluminum alloy, you can braze and repair almost all white metals as well as all other non-ferrous materials except stainless steel.
- Aluminum
- Aluminum alloys: 1060, 1350, 3003, 3004, 3005, 5005, 5050, 6053, 6061, 6951, 7000
- Cast aluminum alloys: 710.0 and 711.0
- Copper
- Zinc-based metals
It is also possible to braze dissimilar metals together, such as copper with aluminum or aluminum with galvanized metal.
What equipment is needed?
Aluminum welding rods requires a simple propane torch to assemble the pieces.
Thanks to their low working temperature, the baguettes melt at a temperature of 390°C!
It does not matter how the aluminum is heated, it is just necessary to reach and maintain 390ºC during work.
For most small jobs, a simple propane torch can be used.
For large parts, you should use a combined propane and oxygen torch to heat evenly
How to properly prepare the part to be welded
Aluminum must be cleaned until the metal is exposed, removing rust (alumina) and all impurities (surface dirt, paint or coatings) the surface of the metal must be clean.
Important : always use a stainless steel brush, any other material will contaminate your aluminum and prevent adhesion).
It is this cleaning that guarantees optimal welding results.
Carry out your brazing within 10 minutes of brushing , otherwise the alumina will re-deposit.
The procedure is simple:

-
Start by cleaning your part and remove the alumina (or oxide layer) that could prevent proper fusion. To do this, use sandpaper or a wire brush. Using a drill can also help save time.
-
Heat your support to a maximum of 400°C using a propane blowtorch, with a power suitable for the part to be repaired.
- Use a baguette to weld quality aluminum for a neat and durable result. The rod must be positioned at an angle of approximately 90 degrees at the brazing point.
-
Vigorously rub the solder into the repair area until the room temperature melts the rod.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The thicker the part , the more difficult it is to heat , so it is important to use a reasonable heat source. (oxygen torch etc.)
Storage : Store in a dry and ventilated place / Do not use for Magnesium.
The properties of a special HOT-WELD™ aluminum welding rod
There are two distinct parts to an aluminum welding rod :
- The aluminum + copper core and the coating which gradually disappears as it liquefies but which plays a vital role in ignition by electrical conduction and protection of the molten pool.
- Welding carried out at low temperature with this type of rod is very resistant over time.
- From 380°C, the copper aluminum that constitutes it melts and immediately fuses with the metal .
- With this process, there is no risk of distortion of the base material. The welded supports do not deform and the resistance to wear and corrosion is very high.
In fact, the welder's safety is the priority since neither flux nor steam is noticed during welding .
No toxic fumes are released: neither toxins nor gases.
Another advantage of the welding rod for aluminum is that it can be combined with other rods, but this time in copper, brass or bronze.
HOT-WELD™ aluminum welding rods are designed to ensure fast application to your project with minimal distortion.
