Pot Metal and Zinc Die Cast Repairs Made Easy With Super Alloy 1 Multi-Metal Solder and Flux Kit

Super Alloy 1 contains cadmium. Pot metal and zinc die cast had historically been considered impossible to repair in the welding, brazing and soldering fields due to its low melting temperature. With a working temperature of 350℉, Super Alloy 1 bonds to pot metal without distortion or warpage, making “impossible“ repairs possible. This video demonstrates how to easily pot metal, zinc die-cast, spelter, galvanized metals, and zamak can be repaired at 350℉--half the melting point of the parent metal. The Super Alloy 1 has a very low melting point of 350°F, which allows the product to flow out with damage to the chrome. If you are worried about damaging the chrome, you could always apply our reusable Heat Freeze Heat Paste over the chrome or plastic, etc. It is essential to clean the pot metal just before making your repair. Pot metal oxidizes very quickly. It’s best to clean the parts the same day you are repairing your parts. When soldering two broken pieces together is vital to bevel the top and bottom at the breakpoint. Remember, you will always achieve more strength when you bevel your metals. A propane torch is all you need for the job. If you only have an oxyacetylene torch, then use very little oxygen. You can use a brush to apply the flux or dip your rod into the flux and use it as your paintbrush. Keep your flux as close to the work area as possible, you will drip less flux, and the part doesn’t have much time to cool between solder applications. No special tools are needed when prepping the zinc diecast as the metal is soft. A dremel tool, file, sanding disc, etc. are sufficient when cutting a bevel in the metal. The part still has the original chrome plating, which is not a deal-breaker when soldering adjacent to the chrome. One of the reasons the product is a must in the restoration business is the super Alloy 1 rod works at half the melting point of pot metal/zinc diecast. You will know when you are overheating to solder as the flux turns dark brown. This is when you may see porosity in the solder. Porosity also forms when there isn’t an adequate amount of flux added for the job, or the parent metal is dirty or contaminated. After “welding“ the first side, you could add some Heat Freeze to it to prevent the solder from remelting when the part is flipped over to solder the back. #ZincDieCastRepair #PotMetalSolder #ClassicCarRestoration #PotMetalRepair #AntiqueAutoRestoration #MustangHeadlightBucket #PotMetalTrimRepair Please read all instructions prior to use at: For more videos and information, or to order, visit _________________ Please visit prior to using Muggy Weld products, and adhere to all AWS welding safety guidelines.
