Description
TAURUS 4043 ALUMINIUM ELECTRODES
Contains approximately 5% silicon making it an ideal general purpose aluminum electrode for arc welding aluminum alloys. The arc is stable and operates at low temperatures with minimum spatter and fuming. The welds are strong, dense, and without porosity. It is suited for production as well as maintenance applications. The TAURUS 4043 electrode is an excellent choice for welding heat-treated aluminium parts. Typical applications are arc welding aluminium alloyed with copper, silicon and manganese and is especially suited for joining dissimilar grades of aluminium. These electrodes can also be used for brazing applications and are safely packaged in tin cans.
