2. from me for more.
3. Rated 5 out of 5Paul F. (verified owner) August 3, 2020These rods worked great. After watching a few video on how to use the rods, I was able to bond square aluminum. Initially I tried a different brand rod and was getting mixed results. These rods are cheaper, longer, and easier to work with.
4. Rated 5 out of 5Roger Davis (verified owner) May 11, 2021These rods were everything I expected and then some. Due to the instructional video, I have been very pleased with the performance of the weld.

4.I just wanted to take a moment and give you a thumbs up for a great product. I purchased the 8 rod kit to fix a leaky pontoon log. We were draining at least 10 gallons of water out of the log. Found a pin hole leak on the bottom of the log. Followed your directions and we are happy to say after a 6 hour day in the bay….NOT 1 drop of water came out of the log! I am always looking to do the work myself and this is just one more notch in my belt. Thanks again for a great product.   -Frank

1. Clean the oxidation from the area with a wire brush (it does NOT need to be stainless any brush will work) HTS-735-11 is the second generation rod it contains no aluminum so it works well on contaminated aluminum that other rods cannot touch.

I knew that RC hobbyists use HTS-735-11 for construction and repairs but was a bit surprised about the rockets!

One common issue that continues to come up is using HTS-735-11 is not welding. True we are not melting the parent metal which is what is commonly called welding. HTS-735-11 is Brazing or Soldering both are processes of joining metals. The meaning of the term “WELD” as stated in dictionary is a (verb to unite or fuse (as pieces of metal) by hammering, compressing, or the like, especially after rendering soft or pasty by heat, and sometimes with the addition of fusible material like or unlike the pieces to be united). The term WELD simply means joining.

The second issue that follows is strength.” It cannot be strong if you braze or solder because the parent metal was not melted in the process”. Well none of the persons that raise this concern have ever used HTS-735-11 or used it incorrectly. I can make it not work too!!! The number one issue for failure is working with the HTS-735-11 rod in or too close to the flame.

Second issue is when joining two pieces BOTH pieces MUST be heated to 735 degrees F. How do you know that? Well the HTS-735-11 rod melts at 735 degrees so you can use the rod to determine the temperature, NO GUESS WORK INVOLVED!!! Once the 735 degree temperature is achieved lower the heat by pulling the torch away from the area just enough to maintain the temperature, then you can take your time and make the repair or join pieces. Let it weld slow cool, never cool with water.

I recommend you practice first if you have not used a torch much. A soda can is a great way to improve your skills. If you can keep the rod flowing on the can for 30 second to a minute without burning a hole in the can and keeping the rod liquid, you will have no problems using HTS-735-11. It is as easy as riding a bike, just takes a little practice. Anyone can weld aluminum with a propane torch!!

 HTS-735-11 Blog is for general discussion and questions regarding the Second Generation Fluxless Aluminum Brazing Rod HTS-735-11 which came out in 1996, is sold exclusively by Pro Marketing Services LLC from our website Aluminum-weld.com.  Made in the USA.  Anything else is something else.

The person that came up with it owned a auto repair garage and was using some similar type rods for AC line repairs but was having a very difficult time getting it to work on the dirty aluminum because the first generation rod contains aluminum.  He and others came up with the idea that removing the aluminum would help solve this issue. A couple years later HTS-735-11 with no aluminum and containing 9 different metals came into existence.

 So what does HTS-735-11 stand for? HTS is short for HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH, 735 is the melting point, and 11 means second generation.  What is second generation advantage? No aluminum in HTS-735-11 as in similar rods that are still available, why is that important? Well aluminum is a difficult metal to work with, and is becoming more and more popular due to new different alloys coming out, its’ light weight and strength.  To weld or braze aluminum is must be very clean and special gases and welding equipment is required. All aluminum tells you is it is too late as there is no color change with temperature change, so it just melts and falls away without much warning for those with no training and skills.

 HTS-735-11 melts 500 degrees below the melting point of aluminum (500 degrees before it is too late) giving the average person a great advantage. No aluminum in HTS-735-11 means there is not an aluminum to aluminum bond to worry about so you do not need special gasses or equipment to repair or join aluminum parts.  Also HTS-735-11 will works on less than perfectly clean aluminum and on all aluminum alloys,  plus most non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, magnesium, and cast aluminum. Videos can be seen on youtube search HTS-735-11 on youtube. No flux is needed.

So now the average can save time and money by doing their own repairs or build things using aluminum, all that is needed is a torch that can heat the aluminum to 735 degrees. Propane may not be hot enough for large or thick aluminum parts.  There is Mapp Gas, Oxygen Acetylene, and different torch tips available.
