GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
For general maintenance repair with the torch. At 14000 16000F the deposit has controlled fluidity which makes it ideal for surfacing and buildup of parts subjected to frictional wear. When the temperature is increased to 16500 17500F the alloy becomes very thin flowing and will product high strength joints with only .001" to .003" clearance.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
1.
Low temperature overlaying and buildup of gear teeth, bearings, shafts, valve seats, wedge bars and steering knuckles.
2.High temperature for close fitting joints on broken drills, mill cutters, furniture and bicycle assemblies, attaching carbide cutting tips and many other applications requiring high strengths.
This alloy is designed to buildup and join carbon steels, alloy steels, cast iron and many non-ferrous materials to themselves or multiple combinations.

Procedure: Rough grind surfaces to be joined or built up. Always use a neutral flame concentrated on the base metal, not on the molten alloy. Keep torch in constant motion to prevent overheating of the local areas. When used as a joining alloy, small rods are recommended. For surfacing and build up the larger diameter rods should be used. Additional passes can be applied without the need of removing flux residue from previous passes. Allow part to cool slowly. Remove flux by chipping and wire brushing.
