ARC WELDING
AUFHAUSER "AL-43"
Aluminum Electrode with Extruded Coating for D.C. Arc Welding

Extruded Flux Coating: Aufhauser offers the welding industry a superior D.C. aluminum electrode. "Al-43" is designed for D.C. (reverse polarity) arc welding of aluminum and aluminum alloys. This electrode produces a smooth weld bead on flat, fillet or vertical jobs. Arc action has very low spatter and is smooth. Slag is easily removed.

EXTRUDED FLUX COATING PROVIDES

· HIGH DENSITY WELDS
· LOW SPATTER
· SMOOTH ARC ACTION
· SMOOTH DEPOSIT

Tests and Inspections:

Samples from every batch of electrodes are submitted to vigorous tests before delivery. Stringent inspection is carried out on all material used and also all stages of manufacture.

Specifications:

Identification: ..............……........................................... No color code
Features: An extruded coating makes this the smoothest aluminum electrode now commercially available. A quiet arc, dense spatter free deposits, easy-to-remove slag, and good color match are additional benefits.
Properties: Tensile strength up to 28,000 p.s.i.
Chemistry: .......…................ (All Weld Metal) Silicon 4.5-5.5% - Aluminum Balance
Size and Current Range:
1/8" x 14 .......................................……...................... 85-135 amperes
5/32" x 14 ......................…..........…......................... 110-165 amperes
Standard Package ........................5 pound container, 5 packs per Master Carton


Procedure:
For flat, horizontal or vertical, DC reverse polarity only clean weldment. Preheat 400 degrees to 600 degrees F. Recommended on heavy weldments due to high melting rate of aluminum. Flux must be removed between passes. Meets AWS-ASTM AL-43 Military specifications MIL-E-15597 Type MIL-4043
