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

<ul>
<li><strong>Superior Strength:</strong> With a tensile strength of 102,000 PSI and 30% elongation, HTS-528 outperforms standard cast iron and steel in durability.</li>
<li><strong>Versatility:</strong> Suitable for a wide range of metals, and particularly effective for joining dissimilar materials.</li>
<li><strong>High-Heat Tolerance:</strong> Requires temperatures above 760°C for optimal penetration, ensuring robust and lasting repairs.</li>
<li><strong>Machinability:</strong> Despite its hardness (92 Brinell), it can be machined, ground, polished, and painted to meet precise finishing requirements.</li>
<li><strong>Integrated Flux:</strong> Built-in flux eliminates the need for separate flux, facilitating easier and cleaner application.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Technical Specifications:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Tensile Strength:</strong> 102,000 PSI</li>
<li><strong>Elongation:</strong> 30%</li>
<li><strong>Bonding Temperature:</strong> Above 760°C</li>
<li><strong>Flow Quality:</strong> Excellent</li>
<li><strong>AWS Specification:</strong> A5.7</li>
<li><strong>Hardness:</strong> 92 Brinell</li>
<li><strong>Fuming Level:</strong> Low</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Usage Instructions:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Prepare the metal surface by opening the pores around the repair area, drilling, and grinding out a U-shape to remove hairline cracks.</li>
<li>Heat the area to 760°C using a brazing tip, monitoring for the metal to turn red.</li>
<li>Test the rod on the metal outside the main flame area; the flux core will melt before the rod.</li>
<li>Once the rod melts, scratch it around the repair area to allow the flux to mix with the molten rod, creating a strong bond.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Applications:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ideal for repairing cast iron manifolds, high-stress parts, cracks in blocks, or bodywork such as car floor sheet metal.</li>
<li>Suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive welding tasks requiring high-strength bonds.</li>
