Description
Characteristics:
Solid wire for MIG and TIG of AlMg alloys. Seawater resistant weld metal. Good colour matching with base metal after anodizing. Thorough cleaning of the workpiece bevels is necessary prior to welding.
Applications:
Railroad cars, shipbuilding, transportation equipment and pressure vessels
Notes on Usage:
1. For TIG process, use DC(-) current .
2. For MIG process, use DC(+) current.
3. 98%Argon – 2%O₂ shielding gas is recommended in MIG process.
