Procedures Degrease
areas to be joined. Cast iron surfaces should be “seared” with a strong
oxidizing flame and wire brushed
to remove surface graphite and impurities.
When applying All-State® No. 41FC, a
neutral flame should be used. Heat
base metal and melt a small amount of flux off the rod and continue to heat until
the flux liquifies. Then melt
rod off onto the base metal and flow out; continue this procedure until the job
is complete. Allow to cool slowly.
All-State® No. 1113 Flux may be used
if additional capillary flow is needed, or it may be painted on adjacent
areas
to protect against discoloration.
