Quick and easy wheel repair
Repair work has never been so easy! HTS-2000 and HTS-528 high strength brazing rods can repair car, truck, RV, trailer and other aluminum and steel wheels in no time. It’s easy, fast and durable.
You must have seen those alloy wheels that give it that sleek and sporty look. Although these large diameter alloy wheels look good and improve performance, speed and road conditions cause a lot of wear over time. Cyclic stress is high and the vent, disc mounting holes, flange and rim take their toll. The result? Cracks, dents, bends, and scratches begin to show.
The problem is that replacing these wheels by the dealer and shops can be a costly affair. The answer has come in the form of several niche repair shops employing our state-of-the-art, high-tech brazing rods. The repair is of superior quality and the result is durable and resistant.
Experts recommend our HTS-2000 for aluminum alloy wheel repair. It has high tensile strength, can easily penetrate impurities, has better elongation and low melting temperature. Plus, with this fluxless rod, you don’t need a machine. Plus, you get a stronger weld than even the base metal. All you’ll need is a heat source (propane, butane, mapp, or oxyacetylene) and you’re ready to go.
For steel alloy wheel repair, HTS-528 is your best choice. With built-in flux, this rod works well on steel, copper, nickel, cast iron, brass, and bronze. It’s great when it comes to melting two different metals. That’s why store owners say, ‘Thanks to these welding rods, I never had to turn a customer away.’
The HTS-2000 brazing rod makes gas brazing a breeze. It’s no wonder then that machine repair shops have switched to using these rods instead of conventional Tig and heli-arc welding machines.
Traditionally, the welding of metals such as aluminum requires covering with flux to prevent the entry of oxygen into the hot metal, so that oxides do not form, which decrease the strength of the weld. The good thing is that the HTS-2000 does not need any flux for gas welding.
Plus, since this bar doesn’t require the use of a welding machine, it gives you the freedom of mobility. You can take the gas welding tank to the field, or even on a truck or trailer. You won’t even need a power outlet. In addition, the equipment is self-sufficient and does not cost you much.
With the help of a gas torch, this rod gives the weld more tensile strength, elongation, low melting temperature, and even the ability to cut through impurities like corrosion, antifreeze, and oil. In the end, the weld area will become even harder than the base metal.
In addition, this second generation brazing rod can even be used in the manufacture of diesel engines, automobiles, bicycles, airplanes, ships, trucks, tractors, rivets, awnings, ladders, and gutters.
To begin soldering, aim the flame at the thicker item so it can absorb more heat. Shield the thinner element from heat by inserting the high-strength brazing rod as needed. The rate of filter metal deposition can be controlled by pushing or pulling the rod from the tip of the gas flame.
Steel or aluminium, your wheels will love this duo of welding rods.
