Suitable for all positions, except vertical down.
WELDING APPLICATIONS
Suitable for welding forged and cast aluminium-manganese/ aluminium-magnesium components and dissimilar aluminium alloy grades containing a maximum of 5% Mg. Can also be used to weld components which are to be subsequently anodised. Pre-heating up to 1200C may be necessary, subject to material size and thickness. Wire brushing between passes is recommended to ensure removal of surface oxide build up. Suitable for use on plate, pipe, tube and components. Ensure that parent metal surface is cleaned and fully degreased prior to welding.
Shielding Gas: Argon or Argon/Helium
