Harris® 26 Alloy 5/32" Dia x 14" Aluminum Maintenance Electrode comes in a 1 ea. 21-stick tube for point-of-purchase display purposes. It is great for foundry defects, machining errors and all types of salvage work. Electrode is ideal for fabrication and repair of cast and wrought aluminum. Electrode features a precise combination of core wire and coating that offers high speed deposition of dense, machinable welds. It is widely used on sheets, tubes and extrusions in thicknesses of 1/8" or more. Electrode has tensile strength up to 34000 psi and is well-suited for torch application. All position electrode features great electrical conductivity, good color match and corrosion resistance. It requires preheat of 5000 deg F for good results and is encouraged on sections greater than 1/8". Clean with hot water and add 10% sulphuric acid to water if additional cleaning is needed. Slag is easily removable and should be brushed or chipped before multiple passes. It uses DC-reverse polarity.
