Ideal for overlaying and building up gear teeth, shafts, bearings, valve seats and other surfaces subjected to frictional wear.
Procedure
Clean all areas to be joined or built up. Use a neutral flame with the torch at a low angle to the work. Preheat starting area to a dull red heat, apply a small amount of flux and alloy, continue to heat until alloy flows out. Add additional alloy until desired size and shape is obtained. Layer upon layer can be built up without removing flux or cleaning previous deposit.
