Specifications

4043 is a good general filler metal for most aluminum
applications. Remember 2xxx and 7xxx series aluminum is
generally not recommended if the application requires
welding.
5356 is used for 5xxx series aluminum and is generally
preferred if the finished piece will be anodized.
ER70S-6 is generally used for mild steel welding.
ER70S-2 is highly recommended for welding 4130 chrome
moly tubing in many applications.
ER80S-D2 is recommended for welding 4130 chrome moly
tubing if a higher strength, less ductile weld is required. If
your weld will be heat treated to obtain optimum strength,
then use a filler metal which matches the chemistry of
your tubing, which neither 70S-2 nor 80S-D2 wires do.
Generally speaking, use a " diameter filler rod for
applications where the material is " and less. Use a "
diameter rod for " and thicker.
HTP Coolant $29.95
If your welding applications are subject to freezing temperatures,
you’d better put HTP Coolant, Anti-Freeze, and Pump Lubricant at
the top of your shopping list. This proven performer is a quick,
cost-effective way to protect your equipment’s water cooler or other
closed-loop cooling system from freezing
temperatures all the way down to 10° F.
The benefits don’t stop there! HTP Coolant
helps reduce water evaporation; saving
time because less fill maintenance is
required. It also lubricates pumps, helping
prevent premature pump wear, and it’s
plasma compatible because it doesn’t
conduct electricity. Available in one-gallon
containers.

Filler Rod for TIG Welding
In TIG welding, the filler rod is fed into the molten puddle
by hand. The choice of filler rod is extremely important as
the rod must correctly match the material and alloy you will be
welding. The thickness of the material to be welded
determines the diameter of the filler rod.
Here are some good rules of thumb to help you select the
correct filler metal:
HTP offers you high quality filler rods in affordable quantities.
All filler rod is packaged in 2 lb. containers to keep your filler
rod fresh and contaminant free.
HTP Algae Eliminator
#DF928-04 $8.96
You’ve heard that old adage about killing two birds with
one stone. Well, that’s exactly what HTP Algae Eliminator
does. This exciting product helps
protect your closed water cooling
system from algae buildup while,
at the same time, helping
lubricate the system pump and
keep it operating smoother and
more effectively. The result is a
cleaner, better operating cooling
system. One bottle treats three
gallons.

Selecting the correct tungsten electrode is important to
getting high-quality welds and making your welding easier.
Some important factors to be considered in making the right
choice are type of power source (Inverter or transformer),
material to be welded (steel, aluminum, or stainless steel), and
the thickness of the material.
We offer the following premium quality tungsten, ground to a
high quality finish. All tungsten is 7" long and sold in packages
of 10. For individual pieces, you can visit our website at
www.USAWeld.com or call us at 800-USA-WELD (800-872-9353).
Pure Tungsten (TP)—Green Tip. Readily forms a ball on the
end, and generally used with transformer-based power sources
for AC welding of aluminum.
2% Thoriated Tungsten (TT2)—Red Tip. The most common
tungsten currently being used; generally utilized for DC welding
of steel and stainless steel and offers good overall performance.
A drawback is that this tungsten has a low level radiation hazard.
2% Ceriated Tungsten (TC2)—Orange Tip. An excellent
substitute for 2% Thoriated tungsten if you are using a
transformer-based power source for DC welding. Popular for
thinner materials because it requires less amperage to start.
Offers a stable arc and can be used for both AC and DC welding
with inverter power sources.
1 ½% Lanthanated Tungsten (TL15)—Gold Tip. Also a great
substitute for 2% Thoriated tungsten. Offers good arc starting
characteristics and longer life than 2% Thoriated. Can be used for
both AC and DC welding with both inverter and transformer
power sources.
2% Lanthanated Tungsten (TL2)—Blue Tip. The most commonly
used, non-radioactive tungsten and also a great substitute for 2%
Thoriated tungsten. Offers great arc starting characteristics and
longer life than 2% Thoriated, a good tungsten for pulsing or
welding that requires frequent re-ignitions with a short weld cycle.
Can be used for both AC and DC welding with both inverter and
transformer power sources.
