6000 is a universal aluminum electrode for
arc welding aluminum alloys. The arc is
stable and operates at low temperatures
with a minimum of spatter and fuming.
The welds are strong, dense and free of
porosity on both production and maintenance
applications. 6000 is a great choice when
welding heat-treated aluminum parts. This
rod may also be used in brazing applications.
