Sifsteel No.11 Copper Coated Mild Steel - BS1453 A1

Stainless Steel Filler Rods - 316LSi

Corrosion resistant, chromium-nickel-molybdenum rods for welding of austenitic stainless alloys. The alloy has very good resistance against corrosion in acid and chlorinated environments and also a low carbon content which makes it particularly recommended where there is a risk of intergranular corrosion.
Rod length: 1 metre
Pack weight: 5kg.

0.8% Zirconiated White Tungsten Electrodes

Ideal for high precision, exceptional quality AC welding on aluminium alloys as it retains a balled tip and has a high resistance to contamination. The current carrying capability is equal or greater than that of thoriated tungsten. Non-radioactive. Not suitable for DC welding.

Kennedy 2.4mm 0.8% Zirconiated White Tungsten Electrodes

Zirconiated tungsten electrodes (AWS classification EWZr-1) contain a minimum of 99.10% tungsten and .15 to .40% zirconium. A zirconium oxide (zirconia) alloyed tungsten electrode is
preferred for AC welding when the highest quality work is necessary and where even the smallest amounts of weld pool contamination cannot be tolerated. This is accomplished because the zirconium alloyed tungsten produces an extremely stable arc which resists tungsten spitting in the arc. The current carrying capability is equal to or slightly greater than an equal sized cerium, lanthana or thorium alloyed
electrode. Zirconium electrodes are typically used only for
AC welding with a balled end. Not to be used for DC welding.
