A product sold in the U.K. as Techno-Weld is a zinc based filler rod for aluminium, mag.alloys, mazak (pot metal)etc. It melts with a plumbers type blowtorch with no flux req. and can be used for joining metals or filling holes, defects, etc.Care must be taken with zinc based alloys as the melting temp. of the rod will be very close to that of the parent metal. This method is more like brazing or soldering than welding
