Product Description

Aluminium casting blowhole repair putty for porosity correction, pinhole sealing, cavity rebuilding and worn-surface restoration. MetLQTM AL-1001 forms a dense, rigid repair layer with strong adhesion to aluminium substrates used in casting and machining operations.

After full curing, the repaired area becomes hard and metal-like — allowing filing, grinding, drilling, tapping and machining to restore dimensional accuracy. Bond strength and shape remain stable under service heat and mechanical load, making it suitable for pre-coating and assembly preparation.

Key Features

  • Strong adhesion on aluminium and metallic substrates
  • Effective blowhole, pinhole and porosity filling
  • Rigid repair layer — machinable after full cure
  • Resistant to oil, moisture, vibration and industrial atmosphere
  • Temperature resistant up to 250°C

Mixing and Application

  • Mix Part-A and Part-B in the specified ratio until uniform
  • Stir until colour and texture are completely consistent
  • Apply with firm pressure to ensure complete cavity fill
  • Keep slightly above surface level for easier finishing

Curing and Finishing

After curing, excess material can be removed by sanding, grinding or machining to achieve accurate surface alignment. Applying the compound slightly above the surface level improves finishing control. Ideal for machinable epoxy applications requiring precise dimensional restoration.

Typical Industrial Applications

  • Aluminium casting repair and maintenance
  • Blowholes, pinholes and shrinkage porosity
  • Cavity rebuilding and surface restoration
  • Machined aluminium component repair
  • Pre-coating and assembly preparation

Frequently Asked Questions

After full curing, the repaired area forms a rigid, metal-like structure that can be drilled, milled, turned and ground without chipping — allowing accurate dimensional restoration.
Yes. AL-1001 provides effective wetting and cavity filling for micro-porosity, pinholes and shrinkage defects in aluminium castings.
The surface should be mechanically roughened and thoroughly cleaned to remove oil, oxide and moisture before application. Proper preparation ensures maximum adhesion strength.
Yes. Powder coating can be applied after full curing. The repaired area withstands typical powder coating curing temperatures up to 250°C without failure.
