K-210 Crack Repair (starter) Kit

The Irontite Crack Repair Starter Kit (K-210) provides the foundational tools and materials for a cold repair process on metal castings. This method avoids the high heat of welding by mechanically closing cracks through the insertion of tapered metal plugs. Ideal for those looking to begin using the effective Irontite crack repair system.

Facing cracks in valuable metal castings and looking for a repair solution that avoids the risks and stresses of high-heat welding? The Irontite Crack Repair Starter Kit (K-210) offers a unique and effective cold repair process designed to permanently close cracks by strategically adding and moving metal. This starter kit provides you with the essential components to begin utilizing the trusted Irontite system for crack repair.

Unlike traditional welding, the Irontite method mechanically closes cracks by drilling, reaming, and tapping holes along the crack line to accept specialized tapered iron plugs. As these plugs are installed and subsequently peened (a peening tool is available separately with our Air Hammer Peening Kit ), the surrounding metal is compressed, effectively closing the crack and restoring structural integrity.

Includes the following Items in a handy Tool Box:

The Irontite Crack Repair Starter Kit (K-210) Details:

• A-235 Iron Plugs (Automotive) (1): Precisely machined tapered iron plugs designed to be inserted into the prepared holes, mechanically closing the crack. (401-2102-35)
• 13/64 HSS Drill (A-235) (1): High-speed steel drill bit specifically sized for creating pilot holes for the A-235 plugs. (407-5102-35)
• HSS Tapered Reamer (A-200/235) (1): A high-speed steel tapered reamer to precisely size and shape the drilled holes to ensure a tight fit for the tapered plugs. (407-5202-35)
• HSS Tapered Tap (A-235) (2): High-speed steel tapered taps used to create the internal threads in the reamed holes, allowing the iron plugs to be securely screwed in. (407-5302-35)
• Carbide File I/S (Oval) (1): A durable carbide file for surface preparation and smoothing. (408-5413-14)

• Heat Tabs (100/Pkg) (1): Used for overheat detection. These will indicate if the engine has been overheated. (411-5811-11)
• Devcon Adhesive (1): A reliable adhesive for various bonding and sealing applications during the repair process. (411-5811-82)
• Ceramic Seal (Pint) (1): A sealant designed to address any residual porosity. Used as part of the mechanical repair, ensuring a complete and leak-proof fix. (468-9120-16)
• TAP-O (8oz.) (1): A tapping fluid to aid in the threading process, ensuring clean and accurate threads. (468-9920-08)
• Handy Tool Box: Keeps all your essential Irontite starter components organized and readily accessible in a sturdy all-metal carrying case.

While this starter kit equips you for the crucial “adding metal” stage of the Irontite crack repair process, remember that proper stress relief is essential for a successful and lasting repair. For the final and highly recommended step of peening the installed plugs to maximize the compressive force and ensure a strong, permanent closure, consider adding our Air Hammer Peening Kit to your order.
