Additional Technical Details:
-
Storage Requirement: To prevent porosity, rods should be stored in their original airtight container in a dry, room-temperature environment.
-
Base Material Match: * ER4043: Best for general purpose welding and casting repairs (contains 5% Silicon).
-
ER5356: Best for high-strength applications and parts that will be anodized (contains 5% Magnesium).
-
-
Rod Preparation: Although pre-cleaned, it is recommended to wipe rods with an approved solvent if they have been exposed to the shop environment to ensure maximum weld purity.
-
Packaging Design: The square or hexagonal blue protective case prevents the rods from rolling off workbenches and keeps them organized by size.
