Q: Will these work on a transmission housing
7 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hello, thank you for your question. These aluminum rods are self-fluxing brazing filler rods for aluminum and magnesium. They can be used to braze small repairs on aluminum parts, but they’re not the same as a structural welding rod. For heavy or load-bearing areas like a transmission housing, a proper aluminum welding filler is usually a better choice6 months agoHelpful?
Q: What is the teinsel strength

It's aluminum, just saying.
3 years ago
First off let me say only the man above rates a 5. With patience these rods will get the job done. Before you run set the correct heat. Probably should run some test runs to be sure.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn't work well on alumimum casting.
3 years ago
A bit sub-optimum on cast aluminum.
The casting started bleeding alloying metals before the rods would melt and flow.
Probably works well on billet or extrusions.
Yes, I recommend this product.
