Review on Hobart H381806-R18 1lb ER4043 Aluminum Wire for Welding, 0.030-Inch by Jason Gay

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hobart H381806-R18 1lb ER4043 Aluminum Welding Wire, .030 "

repairs some broken 1/8" aluminum plates and elbows. The wire chart for my welder only lists the .030" aluminum welding wire that can be used, so I chose that over the heavier .035" wire. Aluminum wire. This wire needs to be used with argon shielding gas and the MIG torch insert and contact tip in my H-10 torch also needs to be replaced to prevent carbon contamination from the flux cored steel wire I usually use with new Teflon sheet Welding City 194T-011 here at Revain which worked great for my use I don't need to weld aluminum that often so for limited use maybe a few times a year I really couldn't justify the cost of a spool gun and as this is the welding rod for mine application worked well enough considering what it costs i think it was a good economical choice.

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering
Cons
  • No Power
