How to Weld Zinc Alloy and Zinc-based Die-cast Metals

Preparation Vee the broken edges of the zinc alloy to about 45 degrees, clean the surface of any plating or scale back from edges of the vee 1/8 of an inch.
Heating Heat until it starts to flow. Turn flame parallel to surface and with side of flame, hold at this heat. Heat welding rod to same temperature.  Now with both bases and welding rod at this temperature, touch rod to the break and rod will flow into vee, thoroughly fusing the parts.
Repairing Repeat operation until break is completely filled. Any eccess can be ground and polished after cooling. Be sure to kick rod into weld to break down skin resistance as the filler rod will lay on surface and will not fuse if only heat is applied.
