Z-2805 ALLOYED & UNALLOYED ALUMINIUM CASTING Z- 2812
ALUMINIUM

Description: Description:
Aluminum electrode with 5%Si for welding and repairing aluminum or aluminum Aluminum electrode with 12% Si for welding and repairing aluminum or aluminum
alloy pieces (AlSi, AlCuSiMn, AlSiMg, AlZnMg ect.).For joining aluminum and alloy pieces (AlSi, AlCuSiMn, AlSiMg). Especially designed for welding cast and
aluminum alloys, as well as for aluminum castings. extruded aluminum alloys with Si levels higher than 7%. Dissimilar joints between
aluminum and aluminum alloys.
Uses:
• Aluminum plates Uses:
• Containers, tanks. • Aluminum castings.
• Frames • Pump housings.
• Aluminum pipes. • Aluminum impellers.
• Engine blocks.
Technique and Recommendations:
Before welding all oil, grease, and dirt should be removed. Technique and Recommendations:
Preheat massive pieces ( more than 6mm of thickness) to 150-250°C. Before welding, all oil, grease, and dirt should be removed.
The best results are achieved when welding with a short arc and the electrode Preheat massive pieces ( more than 6mm of thickness) to 150-250°C.
