Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'AlSi' stand for in the product name?

'AlSi' refers to an aluminum alloy that contains silicon. Aluminium Silicium (ALSi) is commonly used in automotive applications for its specific properties in repair and fabrication.

Can these bits be used for steel repairs?

No, these Alumi Bits are specifically designed for aluminum panel repairs. Using them on steel or other metals is not recommended and will not yield effective results.

How many washers are included in the set?

The set includes 50 straight Aluminium Silicium (ALSi) washers.

What is the primary purpose of these washers in panel repair?

These washers are used to reinforce the aluminum panel during repair processes, providing a stable base for welding or bonding and contributing to the structural integrity of the repaired area.

Do I need special tools to use these Alumi Bits?

While the bits themselves are components, their use requires standard automotive repair tools and equipment appropriate for aluminum welding or bonding, such as TIG/MIG welders or structural adhesives.

How should I store the remaining washers?

Store the unused washers in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from contaminants, to maintain their quality for future use.

Troubleshooting

Poor weld or bond adhesion.

Ensure the aluminum panel surface is thoroughly cleaned and free from contaminants (oil, grease, oxidation) before applying the Alumi Bits. Verify that the welding or bonding equipment is set correctly for aluminum and the specific ALSi alloy.

Washer detaches prematurely.

Check that the correct application method and temperature are being used. Ensure sufficient material penetration or bonding agent is applied. If welding, verify proper technique and electrode/wire selection for aluminum.

Visible discoloration or damage to the aluminum panel around the washer.

This may indicate excessive heat during welding or improper chemical reaction. Ensure appropriate heat management techniques are employed and that the Alumi Bits are the correct type for the aluminum alloy being repaired.
