Exhaust Manifold Repair with Silver Solder

Watch the Video Clip of this repair here

Cast Iron exhaust manifold cracks are common problems repair shops face daily. Due to the expertise usually required when welding cast iron, many shops won't even attempt to repair the part. Unfortunately, new manifolds can range from $150 to $1200--and many of those replaced manifolds could have been saved with our SSF-6 Silver Solder.

This cast iron exhaust manifold has first been prepared by beveling the cut.







Using a size 1 tip with an oxy-acetylene torch, Mike easily brazes the cast with SSF-6 Silver Solder.







The final result is a beautiful weld, with 70,000 psi holding strength--the same as an arc rod.

TIPS

Flow out each drop of rod before depositing more.

A flat braze will result in the best seal.

Broadly heat base metal to create an even flow.
