Welding Aluminum Bronze. Metal fume fever also known as brass founders ague brass shakes zinc shakes galvie flu metal dust fever welding shivers or Monday morning fever is an illness primarily caused by exposure to chemicals such as zinc oxide ZnO aluminium oxide Al 2 O 3 or magnesium oxide MgO which are produced as byproducts in the fumes that result when certain metals are heated. ER CuAl-A2 filler metal is an intermediate-strength aluminum bronze alloy used for welding aluminum bronze plate fabrications and for joining dissimilar metals such as cast iron carbon steels copper bronze and copper-nickel materials.
Welding aluminum comes down to choosing the right welding process. This alloy and most of the alloys in this. Since the first manufacture of aluminium bronze in the 1850s there has been a progressive development in elemental additions to improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Recommended for the joining and overlay welding of copper-aluminum alloy aluminum coated steel and cast iron It has been widely used in shipbuilding machinery and the chemical industry.
Use of a buffer layer on carbon steel either Cu-Ni 7030 or 9010 followed by welding. The early alloys were binary systems of copper and aluminium with aluminium in the range 6-11. You can use the DC if you move to silicon bronze which has been the one i have been using since the AL Bronze is hard to find in my neck of the woods. ERCuAl-2 is recommended for welding aluminum bronze and 90Cu10Ni to carbon steel.
