J'ai soudé le coeur d'un éventail en aluminium et ça a très bien tenu.

I've tied to use this on all different types of steel and not getting the results shows. The welds fall a part and don't hold properly. I clean the steel and melt it into place but a couple strikes and it falls a part

Creí que este seria el producto que me ayudaría en muchas de las reparaciones que hago, hice las pruebas en latas de aluminio como se ve en la TV y, si, corre de maravilla y cubre muy bien, pero cuando intenté reparar una pieza de acero inoxidable no sirvió. Yo creí que podría unir cualquier metal pero no es así, solo aluminio con aluminio.

Saw the video and ordered the 20 count pack as I have always wanted to fabricate and/or repair aluminum. I disregarded the negative reviews as most all products have their naysayers. Tried the soda can reseal shown in the video and it worked perfectly. I then tried laying some Alumaloy on a spare aluminum housing I had laying around. That also went well (see photo). As others have mentioned, the key points are clean material and getting the material heated properly. I only had a propane torch available so the aluminum housing took some extra time to get up to temperature. Once that is achieved, it flows like solder. I would definitely recommend this product!

These things pay for them selves for sure! Soon as I got em in the mail I tried the pop can fix like on the video for this product on Amazon and it turned out the same as shown. It's surprisingly really strong also and idk how it is for having suck a melting point. I don't really have any welding experience but I'm good with tools and learn quick so didn't really need practice to learn how to use. If there's any and I mean ANY bad reviews on this product DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME READING THEM!!! If there's a bad review it's because that person clearly doesn't know how to use any kind of tool cause there probably some city folk with soft hands and should have a perfesional do it for them.

Bought these twice. First time I was skeptical. As we all know, videos showing how great a product is rarely works out that way. BUT, I ordered some anyway. At first I had a hard time getting them to adhere to my work. I was joining 1” square brace tubing about an 1/8” thick onto a rectangular frame made of the same kind of material which was aluminum. I heated the parts, but unknowingly wasn’t getting the material hot enough. The rod melted too soon being in too close proximity to the flame. I tried filling in a hole in an aluminum beer can like they showed on the video and it worked perfectly. Strong and able to easily span the hole I punched into the can. I simply superheated the area around the hole and then swirled the rod around the opening allowing the rod to get heat from the edges of the butane torch I was using but mostly picking up heat to melt the rod from the can. Keeping the rod moving was the trick, pulling it away fro a second then swirling it around again. I then used the same method for the heavier material. It took much longer at max heat to get the frame material hot enough because aluminum disperses the heat throughout the work piece. What I found worked best is not to even try to weld the pieces together until I held the heat on the (clamped joint) at least for a count to 100. I also had some inside joints to weld. So after the piece was hot enough, I flowed out some rod and spread it into the joint with an old steel screwdriver. To my amazement the next day when I was putting my tools away, I noticed there was some of the rod material still on the blade. I couldn’t scrape it off so tried my wire wheel mounted on one side of my bench grinder. To my surprise it wouldn’t take it off. I had to grind it off. I hoped the rod would work on aluminum, but wow! Steel too!Try it and it’ll work and you’ll love it. I love this stuff and ordered more to keep around the shop

Not useful for thin material, the amount of heat needed to get product to flow, starts distorting thin material.

When I received the bundle of rods, it just didn’t feel like a full pound. So I weighed it, and it came up ~9% short; 14.5 oz vs 16, or 415 grams vs 454. (And yes, my scale was accurate, I checked it against my analytical balance and it was spot-on to the gram.)That’s bad enough, but the alloy just doesn’t seem to stick very well. I had scrupulously clean aluminum (wire wheel and solvent) and MAP gas with plenty of heat on small parts, and it seemed this brazing alloy just laid on the surface. It appeared to wet well, and there was some adhesion strength to the joints, but they were much easier to break than they should have been, and when broken, there seemed to be almost no places where the brazing material actually alloyed with the base metal. I’m going to spend the money for some HTS-2000, wish I’d done so in the first place. It’s more than 2x the price, but apparently works very reliably. (I have seen accounts of people having good luck with Alumaloy, though, which makes me wonder if this is even that alloy.)(update, a few hours later)FWIW, I did manage to get a strong (but messy-looking) joint, using the lap-joint method shown in The Alumaloy videos on YouTube. You pre-wet the pieces to be joined with the brazing material, then heat and press together. It's important to keep the two pieces motionless while the joint solidifies, which can be a little tricky, and as noted, the joint was pretty messy when I was done, but it was extremely strong. Fillet joints were easy to get pretty-looking, but if I torque the joined parts with much force at all, they'll break loose.I may be able to use this for my current project, as it's a very light-weight frame that won't have any extreme forces on it. I did go ahead and order a pound of the HTS-2000 though, which more people seem to have good success with. (Amazon doesn't carry it, though; I had to order direct from the aluminumrepair site.)

First I thought I had been dooped. After playing around with it a while I figured man i just was bad at the whole thing. I got better at it and still would NOT say I'm a pro or any thing of sort.This product really does work, which shocked me. Its easy to use, hardens instantly, easy to drill for the most part. Also great for people new to working with aluminum or other types of metal like myself. Had been drilling out a hole and went to far over, i was going to recycle the piece. It was until I picked up this product. I was able to back fill my cuts and I was back on my way.Last note it's also made in USA keeping Our Nation stong and our people living.
