In-Field-Repair

Originally the steel alloy used by us was developed for airplane frame parts and is weld- and solderable. The best way to repair a crack is, to weld it with TIG-weld (tungsten-inert-gas)

Soldering and filigree welding are done best by car body-builders (Garage/Repair Shop), precision mechanics, or blacksmith.

In case of repair, please proceed as follows:

  • Remove all parts and the color within the range concerned of the carrier. For baring the place you can use sandpaper or each sharp edged tool.
  • In case you want to repair a breakage at your carrier, a reinforcement of the location of fracture by means of a piece of steel or a smaller tubing section is reasonable. Such a reinforcement piece should be slightly thicker than the inside diameter of the broken pipe.
  • Also one „splinting “of the breakage location of fracture with the help of a larger external pipe is possible. Don’t cool the repaired part with water under any circumstances, but leave it to cool down slowly by itself!

The carriers made of stainless-steel are likewise (TIG) weld able, only with silver brazing with a minimum silver content of 40% they are solder able, too.
