Bodywork

Special soft and hard solders with a wide melting range are used for repairing vehicle bodies after accident damage and for the restoration and maintenance of classic cars. The choice of material for the repair process depends on the base materials to be joined and the requirements for a strong, material-to-material bond. These repairs range from cosmetic touch-ups to safety-critical repairs that demand a higher level of reliability. Depending on the application, these brazing repairs are performed using special soft solder and tinning pastes for the automotive body sector in combination with lead-free or high-lead soft solders (so-called “flux-cored solders”) or brass and nickel silver brazing alloys for high-strength joints, along with the appropriate brazing fluxes.
