Directions for use

  • Use pure Argon as shielding gas
  • Ensure good surface preparation i.e., use only stainless steel abrasive discs or brush for grinding or cleaning
  • As aluminium wire is soft, use Teflon type torch cable with length not exceeding 3m
  • Cast aluminium should be pre-heated to approximately 300oC before welding and ensure they are well supported to avoid sagging from heat and after welding, to allow slow cool
