Abro Steel Cold Welding: Composition, Properties, and Applications

Often in life you have to deal with emergencies in the form of pipe leaks, holes in the radiator and gas tank, etc. To quickly fix such a nuisance, it is recommended to use the adhesive mixture (cold welding) Abro Steel. She is well known in the construction market and has received positive feedback from numerous buyers, as it provides a reliable and high-quality connection.

Cold welding is a unique adhesive material, which consists of steel powder and epoxy putty. These components are thoroughly mixed in the production process, after which they enter into chemical reactions with the hardener, forming a universal mass that is resistant to high temperatures and corrosive media. Despite the fact that the material contains a metal filler, in the frozen state it is absolutely neutral to alkalis, acids, water and poorly conducts electricity.

Cold welding begins to show its performance, a few minutes after it is mixed and applied to damaged parts. Homogeneous mass is ready for use immediately, it fills all hollow areas and cracks, after which it gradually reaches strength and after one hour finally hardens.

Then the surface treated with the mixture can be machined, taking into account the following features:

• joints covered with adhesive mass are unstable to shock deformations;
• cold welding dries quickly, and within an hour after its application it will withstand such influences as stretching and compression;
• parts stuck together by composition may exhibit slight resistance during bending and torsion;
• frozen mixture is not deformed when compressed.

Work on the application of cold welding should be performed at normal temperature conditions, since its reduction or increase can slow down the process of hardening. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to add other components to the glue, accelerating the hardening. An increased concentration of hardener will affect the physical properties of the material, and it will lose its original characteristics.

Abro Steel high temperature cold welding has several advantages:

• allows you to create high-quality compounds that are resistant to heavy loads;
• used for bonding any solid elements;
• suitable for working in adverse conditions;
• strength and durability;
• convenient packaging and ease of use.

Abro Steel is a universal adhesive that is ideal for bonding homogeneous elements from non-ferrous, ferrous metals, wood, glass, ceramics and plastic. As a rule, it is used during the repair of automotive, swimming equipment, to eliminate gusts and cracks in pipelines. In addition, the adhesive mixture is indispensable in the repair of furniture and the restoration of coatings made of concrete or stone.

With the help of this material, it is possible not only to eliminate breakdowns in the autoradiator and the engine of the car, but also to make reliable sealing of the body, metal parts and batteries. During the repair of swimming facilities, the hull of the vessel is treated with an adhesive, and the setting elements and instrument parts are attached. Cold welding is also in great demand in everyday life; it is purchased for the repair of bathtubs, basins, toilet bowls and decorative finishes. In addition, if there was a pipeline breakthrough in the apartment, then emergency repair is indispensable. In this case, the masters use an adhesive mixture and restore the water supply system, applying a mass to the damaged joints.

Before applying the adhesive composition (for example, AS 224), it is necessary to carefully prepare the working surface, which is to be restored, this will provide a strong and high-quality bonding.Damaged areas must be degreased and cleaned from chemical contamination and paint. In the case of emergency fixes and plugging gaps, you can do without preliminary measures, but in such situations the quality of connections will be lower.

This also applies to the repair of tanks filled with liquid, when the mixture is applied under the surface of the water. Due to the inert properties of the material, they can seal aquariums, boilers, yachts and boats without first preparing the damaged areas, creating a strong mount in the water.

After the surface is cleaned and ground, a simple instruction is applied.

• The required amount of welding is cut off. This should be done perpendicularly, then it is necessary to moisten hands with water and mix the composition well until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The mixture will heat up a little during mixing, so you should not be afraid.
• Mix is ​​applied on the basis and give it the necessary form. If the repair is carried out under water, then it should simply press to the surface and wait until it locks.

Similar actions can be performed to restore threaded joints, as cold filler contains steel fillers.In this case, a layer of the mixture is applied to the damaged place and after its complete solidification, mechanical processing is carried out in order to obtain a cylindrical surface. Then, using special equipment, threading is performed.
