Using AlloyBraze Rod On Plate Aluminum

Sal with ProductsByPros and Bryan with HVAC School demonstrate using an AlloyBraze rod on plate aluminum. They also cover the application and technique of using the AlloyBraze flux core rod by Solderweld.

AlloyBraze differs from AlloySol in that the latter is designed for patching aluminum in a low-temperature range with an external flux. On the other hand, AlloyBraze has an internal flux and creates stronger surface bonds on thicker aluminum. AlloyBraze creates more of a weld-like bond than a brazed bond for connecting piping at a joint.

We start by heating the base material. The flux comes out of the rod first and coats the surface, and Bryan creates a butt weld between the plates. Again, the goal is to draw the AlloyBraze into the joint. After letting the joint sit for a little while, Bryan decides to thermal-cycle the plate aluminum joint in a bucket of water. (We normally wouldn’t do that on a field connection, but we did it for the sake of demonstration.)
