SOLTER 05975 Aluminium Electrodes Si (2.5 x 350 mm Pack of 10)

There's a few thinks to know on how to use them . 1st you need a inverter welder.2nd preheat the job your are doing if you don't they will stick no matter what the voltage . They don't run nothing like 6010 or 7018s . I see tuns of comments about they are crap ect, it just folk don't know how to run them. I been welding 35 years its the first time I used them. If your doing a big job get a mig with a spool gun or a tig. They will be fine for a small job but they are hard to run. Hope that helps pre heat the job it's a must

had a few problems getting started, 80 amps is way to high, ended up at 48 with my little Aldi/Lidl welder, wire brushed bits to weld and heated up with blow torch before welding, rods burn very quickly, need as short arc, soon got used to them, patched up a mobility scooter

preheat and 51amps it was very workable recommend to experience welders

These are really hard to get to to work. I can stick weld steel really nicely and needed to do a small project in Alu. Preheated to high heat with two torches working simultaneously then set to work on practice pieces... played with Amps and found that if too low I couldn't avoid sticking down, if too high i could avoid sticking but the work just melted away. I abandoned it and am returning to remake the piece in thin steel.Unless you are well practiced in these I would avoid and spend the money on a TIG setup.

Used as DC tig filler rods excellent results welding 6mm flange to 48 tube !

The worst rods I have ever used, impossible to strike, nightmare. I'm not that good a welder but these things are painful, my son is quite a good welder and he had no joy with them either, even on steel they dont strike and the flux coating breaks off way too easily.
