Now
you can weld aluminum anywhere you can arc weld, even in poor conditions, without
the need for a MIG or TIG torch, special welding wire, hoses, regulators, or expensive
and heavy gas bottles.
These unique aluminum alloy welding
rods let you weld and fill all cast, wrought and extruded aluminum and aluminum alloys,
working in all positions, with a high quality high tensile strength (34,000 lb. /
18% elongation) aluminum alloy using only your arc welder!
They can also be used with a
conventional oxyacetylene torch for gas welding aluminum!
These special aluminum welding
rods are perfect for welding, repairing cracks, and building up missing sections
of:
- Aluminum sheet metal
- Truck beds, bodies,
and frames,
- Loading ramps and
docks,
- Engine and motor
blocks,
- Machine bases and
supports,
- Pipe railings, banisters,
stairs, diamond plate,
- Transmission housings
and gear boxes,
- Irrigation piping,
- Bus bars, electrical
switch boxes and mounts.
Description:
Highly versatile, smooth running,
easy-to-handle, all position Aluminum alloy arc/torch welding electrode for welding
or filling low alloy Aluminum including aluminums alloyed with copper, silicon, and
magnesium. Also excellent for joining dissimilar grades of Aluminum

Recommended
Welding Techniques:
- OK for welding in flat, horizontal
and vertical applications.
- Clean weld area by removing
oil and grease and by wire brushing and/or sanding/grinding the immediate weld area
just prior to welding. Chamfer edges of plated to be joined and open up/chamfer cracks
and/or holes to be filled. Preheat heavy sections broadly. In thick to thin joining,
preheat heavier member. For multi-pass work, it might be necessary to reduce amperage
setting as base metal increases in temperature.
- A close arc should be maintained.
Feed electrode quickly and move fast. When picking up each bead, weld into the previous
crater before continuing.
- Upon cooling, slag/flux can
easily be removed by chipping/brushing/sanding/grinding.
- Expect best results using motor
driven welding equipment with generators with DC rectified DC output.
