SPAANSTEQ HTS-528 High-Strength Brazing Rod (2-pack)

• Superior Strength: With a tensile strength of 102,000 PSI and 30% elongation, HTS-528 outperforms standard cast iron and steel in durability.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of metals, and particularly effective for joining dissimilar materials.
• High-Heat Tolerance: Requires temperatures above 760°C for optimal penetration, ensuring robust and lasting repairs.
• Machinability: Despite its hardness (92 Brinell), it can be machined, ground, polished, and painted to meet precise finishing requirements.
• Integrated Flux: Built-in flux eliminates the need for separate flux, facilitating easier and cleaner application.

Technical Specifications:

• Tensile Strength: 102,000 PSI
• Elongation: 30%
• Bonding Temperature: Above 760°C
• Flow Quality: Excellent
• AWS Specification: A5.7
• Hardness: 92 Brinell
• Fuming Level: Low

Usage Instructions:

1. Prepare the metal surface by opening the pores around the repair area, drilling, and grinding out a U-shape to remove hairline cracks.
2. Heat the area to 760°C using a brazing tip, monitoring for the metal to turn red.
3. Test the rod on the metal outside the main flame area; the flux core will melt before the rod.
4. 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 blocks, or bodywork such as car floor sheet metal.
• Suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive welding tasks requiring high-strength bonds.
