REPAIRS: With rods twice as long as the competition, Alumaloy repairs or fabricates virtually anything made of aluminum, pot metal, or galvanized steel. Use something as simple as a propane torch on up. No Flux needed! You can repair boats, props, storm doors, gutters, antiques, tools, condensers, molds, rims, air conditioning lines, refrigeration coils, bell housing, pontoons, transmission cases, and so much more.

EASY TO USE: Alumaloy is as EASY as 1-2-3. Simply clean the base metal, heat the base metal, NOT THE Alumaloy ROD, repair your way into hundreds of dollars of savings. Please refer to instructional video.

NO WORRYING: Alumaloy melts at 728 degrees Fahrenheit giving you the ability to repair the thinnest to the thickest metals without worrying about war-page or distortion. Alumaloy even repairs pot metal; one of the most difficult non ferrous metals in the world to repair!

Superior Performance - Much lower working temperature than the vast majority of comparable products (728 deg F / 387 deg C) lets you repair & fabricate a far greater range of aluminum and other non-ferrous metal parts. It's never been easier.

Gets the job done - No need for expensive training or equipment provides you the ability to use this easily whether your a novice or a pro - Easily.

Dependable - Make clean joints with no slag enables you to create a strong quality finish on all projects just like the pros do. No-Nonsense, 39,000 psi tensile strength & 60,000 - 75,000 psi compression strength delivers the key to make your repair or fabrication stronger than the parent metal every time - Fast.

SÜA - E4043 is used for production or maintenance and repair welding on all weldable grades of aluminum sheets, plates, pipes, castings, and extrusions with a minimum of 3/32” thickness. Special extruded coating in this electrode is dense and without the air holes found in cheaper dip-coated electrodes and it provides a gas atmosphere to protect the arc.

Can be used as a SMAW-stick electrode or as an oxyacetylene brazing rod. Very easy to use with an exceptionally stable arc, operating at low amperages with a very minimal amount of spatter or fumes. Weld deposits are strong, dense, porosity-free with good color match and corrosion resistance. Good weldability; rapid ignition and re-ignition, little splashing, easy removal of oxides, the characteristics of the joints are particularly good. Good capillary fluidity.
