Welding Aluminium Electrodes. Limitation and problem of stick welding. Many brands are offering Al electrode.
BUY ON OUR B2B WEBSHOP. There is a specific class of MIG wire electrodes that are designed for welding aluminum pieces. Our very broad range of aluminium welding electrodes is complimented by torch brazing alloys including one of a kind flux coated aluminum brazing alloys and a unique group of low temperature solders for joining aluminum to itself as well as joining aluminum to copper steel stainless steel etc.
With aluminum a special wire feed system is needed otherwise the welding electrode wire will break and bunch up.
MIG welding aluminum relies heavily on having the right equipment due to the soft nature of the welding electrode wire. When stick welding aluminum you need an aluminum electrode based on the thickness of the material you are welding. Remember that AC welding requires largerdiameter tungsten electrodes. The electrodes are covered similarly to conventional steel electrodes.
