Radiator Solder for Assembly and Repair
Radiator solder is used to repair and seal automotive or industrial radiators, especially those made of brass, copper. The solder must offer good flow, adhesion to metals, and corrosion resistance, and it should withstand the pressure and temperature fluctuations of a working cooling system. Common uses for radiator solder include repairing leaks and cracks in copper/brass radiator cores or tanks, reinforcing joints to seal seams between metal components such as tanks, headers, and core tubes, resoldering fittings or mounts and restoring vintage radiators in classic cars. Â
Common Alloys for Heat Exchange Applications:
Below is a list of the solder alloys typically used for radiator applications. The most common alloys are 40Sn/60Pb, 50Sn/50Pb and 60/Sn/40Pb.
