HTS-2000 - This is some cool stuff!!!
 

Pretty neat:

I've seen similar before. Being marketed as Alumaloy. Ebay sellers seem to reference both names... I wonder if any are legit.

I've always been tempted to try it.

Damn. Now all I need is some of that rod, a torch that'll heat up aluminum to 730*, a beer gut, redneck accent, and a piece of aluminum to weld.

I have a steel gas tank that I would love to use something like that on. The only problem is I don't know where to get something like that for steel.

Seems really cool, but I've never had a huge hole in anything aluminum.

dont try to use that on anything hot though...

One of the videos showed the guy repairing a crack in a cylinder head between the combustion chambers... that wouldn't work would it??

probably not. im pretty sure its a marketing thing :)

Oh my god I need this for a pinhole leak in my AC line.

Buying now, will report back.

it would be fucking perfect for making custom intake manifolds and intercooler piping!

YUS!!! WANT!!
Totally a temporary solution to my broke ass lacking possession of a tig welder!

This. Someone try to make a custom manifold using this stuff.

As well as putting mounting brackets on an intercooler itself.

Shit does not like to be drilled at all. Its neat stuff, but its low melting point would be its downfall.

my $299 mig welder will weld aluminum... just need the wire and gas.

And probably a spool gun. And then headaches from dealing with that all not working like a legit TIG unit :p

cool.

A spool gun would help, but just running a new liner and keeping the feed as straight as possible yielded "ok" results and not too many birdsnests.

I really want to give this a try someday soon.


Anyway, I have a bundle of this aluminum braizing rod in the garage. I really should test this out one of these days. My buddy has an acetylene torch I can use which will get anything hot enough. My other buddy has 10-12 cracked E30 oil pans that would be neat to try and fix with this stuff.

I looked it up and it was $2 per rod (I think you had to buy $50 worth).

I need something like this that will work on steel. I have a bike gas tank that needs repaired.

My friend had one repaired locally for his 68' 2002 and said they soldered it. I'm sure its a special solder but call a radiator shop and ask them what they use.
