Any motorist wants his "Iron horse" longer. The radiator is just designed to protect the automotive engine from overheating. It takes time, and the unit becomes no longer as reliable defense as before. In the process of work, cracks may appear, but in this case it is not necessary to buy a new spare part, because you can try to repair the old one. We will try to teach you how to waste damage on the radiator.
1
There are several ways to seal cracks and slopes in the radiator. One of them is the method of imposition of cold welding damage. But first you need to detect leaks in the radiator. To do this job, remove the radiator from the car. If you could not detect damage to visually, then close all the holes in the cork radiator and lower it into the water container. Where bubbles will be published, there is damage.

When you found a damaged place, it must be carefully cleaned with sandpaper from dirt and rinse with acetone so that the surface is degreased. To this stage of work, it is recommended to treat particular attention and thoroughness. Then you need to take a portion of cold welding, to diligently reveal it and apply it to a damaged area of \u200b\u200bthe radiator.

You can prepare a liquid substance from cold welding. Plow welding mix with an activator. Such a substance is more convenient to apply in hard-to-reach places. After the substance is dry, it needs to be cleaned with sandpaper and paint. But cold welding serves not for a very long time.

If your machine is a copper or brass radiator, it can be poured by tin. The radiator will be difficult to warm up the radiator, so they use a non-electrical hammer soldering iron. It is heated by a soldering lamp.
5
The damaged place should be cleared with sandpaper and handle with chlorine zinc. In hydrochloric acid, it is necessary to put a pure zinc, and when it dissolves - the reagent will be ready. Then heat the soldering iron and apply tin on the damaged area. Next, we check the quality of the soldering in the water. If everything went well, then the sealed place can be painted.

If you have an aluminum radiator, then to sink damage, you need to prepare a special flux. We take a crucible, heating it and put rosin there. When she melt, you need to pour iron sawdust. Melted flux must be placed on a damaged place (carefully purified and skim). Then the soldering iron applies to solder and rub it into damage. This is one of the easiest ways to solder aluminum.
Here are such simple ways to extend the life of the radiator of your car and save good money at repair work.
