Review on 20-Pack 9.8in (25cm) Elecxlink Copper Aluminum Welding Rods - Universal Low Temperature Copper Aluminum Welding Cored Wire for Electric Power and Chemistry by Steve Guillen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

worked on second try

I did a test butt weld on two pieces of sheet aluminum. The weld was swollen and didn't stick. I had parts that sat on top of another piece of aluminum that actually acted as a heatsink, keeping it from getting too hot. I propped up the parts to be welded, this time without inserting another piece of aluminum, and when the material reached the right temperature the rod flowed effortlessly. The photo shows the weld after placing it in a vise and hitting it with a hammer. I'm very impressed with the strength.

Pros
  • Welding wire
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
